[QUOTE=chipset;31221154]I've got a more modern lenovo thinkpad L412. It's decent, good build quality and all but battery life is terrible.
For that price it seems like a fair deal though I think it would struggle even with XP.
If this [url]http://www.thinkwiki.org/wiki/Category:T40[/url] is what we're talking about, i mean.[/QUOTE]
why would i run windows on a t40
i'll be swapping the HDD with an SSD to improve battery life and getting a new battery anyway
Yesterday, my pc BSOD'ed and then refused to start up.
Judging on the different error codes I've seen, I'm guessing it's a problem with the hard drive.
So now I've got 2 questions:
1. Is there any chance that this is fixable with a reformat, or is my HD fucked?
2. Can you recommend a good 500gb HDD?
MY razer copperhead mousewheel wont' scroll anymore.
Yesterday it stopped doing those "clicks" and responding downwards first and then moments later upwards. Now the wheel is running free and doing nothing but the clicking on it works.
How can I fix it?

open it and clean the wheel / make sure it's all put together correctly, sounds like the clicky part popped off or broke.
I'll do it since I doubt I have warrancy anymore

opened it up and seems like the hexagonal shape that attatches to the clickery thing has been worn off.
Solution?
Lol superglue

It worked wonders, I can proceed filling my daily scrolling quota
[QUOTE=MasterFen007;31204715]I just reinstalled F.Lux, set it up to my location. Everything should be fine but it STILL insists that sunset is at 12:55.
This is getting annoying and I'm not finding anything about this online.[/QUOTE]

Can you take a screenshot of how your settings window looks like? Maybe there's something you missed?
[QUOTE=ManningQB18;31220398]Wow, RAM is that expensive in Sweden? I can get two 4GB sticks (8GB) for $45 at our local Fry's.[/QUOTE]
Everything is expensive here.
[QUOTE=Makol;31220740]A budget would be helpful.[/QUOTE]
1,500-1,700 USD
[QUOTE=ManningQB18;31220398]Wow, RAM is that expensive in Sweden? I can get two 4GB sticks (8GB) for $45 at our local Fry's.[/QUOTE]
I know, right? I thought it was really cheap here for a moment. 4GBx2 is about $90-100 here.
It's been alot higher, 4GB was like 100$ here a year ago.

Same here. Do you have comcast?[/QUOTE]
Nope, Verizon.
Gah
Sorry if it's already been asked but has anyone got any examples of a good value joystick I could get for less than £30.00? I'd be using it for games like IL-2 or maybe ARMA.
I'm sure It's a simple question but I just finished a build and my native resolution is 1920 x 1080 and the text is so fuckin' small, I can't stand it, how can I make it look better and easier to read?

The text looks fine, you'll get used to it.
It's too fuckin' small man.
Cleartype is on too, I can't take it.
It's all jagged too.

if it looks jagged you probably didn't set up cleartype right

We really need to make a sticky about ninite...
Not really a question but
I was trying to listen to something and my subwoofer wasn't working, so I unplug it to test it on my iPod and it's still playing, I'm like wtf man and realize it's coming through my tv.
I had no idea HDMI could do sound as well. Amazing.

Look at this text, this is not okay.

Looks fine to me

There's nothing wrong with it.
Okay you're right, I checked it on another pc and it looks fine.
So what does this mean?
Is the resolution too high or is the monitor going to shit?
[editline]20th July 2011[/editline]
I just want 1440 x 900 back.
But I can't, it's what I used for my old one.
I have no idea what you're complaining about. Do you not like having a higher resolution or something? I don't get it.
The text looks a lot different on my end than it does on the image.
Get a camera and take a pic.
Does the monitor support it natively? You could try reinstalling your graphics cards latest drivers.
Okay all the text is surrounded by a minute white border, how do I get rid of it.
I'm p sure it's the problem.
monitor sharpness?
I turned it all the way down, looks a bit better, but still bad.
I'm using an HDTV btw. I'm sure that's why, I was using RGB for the previous pc.
HDTVs suck as a monitor lol
[editline]20th July 2011[/editline]
but even when i use my 42'' the text looks fine
