Re: How do *you* pronounce "Kaze"?
So it occured to me, that the reason why Scythe had all these Japanese names for their products is because it is a Japanese company. Now names like "Kabuto" and "Mugen" may be pronounced somewhat differently in English to Japanese, the structure is still mostly the same. But what about "Kaze"? The ...

Here in Massachusetts we pronounce the English place names just like they do in England ....... except that we mangle it. For instance, Worcester is pronounced Wuss-ter instead of Wor-ses-ter, but most of the locals pronounce it Wista. i always called it more wor-shes-er. :/ that shit always confus...

I think the idea is green. A lot of computers idle a lot, some close to 24/7 so all that can be done is good to do. Reducing voltage doesn't have much efficiency but even a bit is good when done in several computers. To reduce any computers power consumption (and heat & sound level at the same time...

You sir, just made my day. Copper makes me drool, especially this much. This is beautiful craftmanship, but I foresee a big problem. Since the copper fins are below the case, the heat rising from it will move past the components, warming them up again. I don't think it'll make the whole circuit ver...

Re: How much should I expect from a TN monitor?
I hope I used the term correctly there. :P Anyway, I fairly recently got myself a G2420HDBL. It's somewhat decent i guess... but I can't say I was overly impressed.

The way I've heard it explained is that you can use EITHER the DVI OR the HDMI for a single digital output. You cannot use both the DVI and HDMI at the same time. That is true for most IGPs but not for graphics cards in general. no, it's definitely true for the 5000 series when it has a DVI and HDM...

However DVI and HDMI are not free standards and the manufacturer has to pay for every port it puts on devices. Display port standard however is free and hopefully replaces DVI completely. Display port also does not need as fat cable for 2560x1600 as DVI. Is Display port the connector used by eyefin...

Re: What is so great about DVI & HDMI?
DVI is newer and I suppose better than the old VGA connections for video displays, but why is it better. It seems like as you go to higher resolutions, with DVI you need to start using dual cables. But not so with the trusty old VGA. What is so good about DVI that you would accept that disadvantage...
