[url=http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=24-254-055]Someone convince me I can afford this[/url].
I'm aware that's probably one of the worst monitors available. However, going from a 1024x768, 16" CRT that's probably old enough to drive, I'm pretty sure it qualifies as an upgrade.
Unless there's a cheaper one out there somewhere.
FUCK. I need a job.
I can give you an old 1280x1024 LCD I have :v:

Oh god.
I [B]HATE[/B] that resolution with the fiery passion of 1000 stars.
At least it can play native 720p video :v:
Nevermind, apparently my parents were planning to buy me a monitor for Christmas anyways (they just hadn't found one yet). So it's already ordered.
And to head you all off, no, I'm not asking about getting a slightly-more-expensive but better one. $70 is already pushing my family's ordinary gift limit quite a bit - I'm not going to get greedy and ask for more.
For all swedes out there, [code]package randomnovelgenerator;
import java.util.Random;
public class RandomNovelGenerator {
/**
* @param args the command line arguments

public static void main(String[] args) {
String[] creature;
String[] place;
creature = new String[5];
place = new String[5];
Random randomGenerator = new Random();
int RandomInt1 = randomGenerator.nextInt(4);
int RandomInt2 = randomGenerator.nextInt(2);
creature[0] = "Blåval";
creature[1] = "Katt";
creature[2] = "Fågel";
creature[3] = "Räv";
creature[4] = "Hund";
place[0] = "dö. Sen skulle " + creature[RandomInt1] + "en " + place[1];
place[1] = "gå till affären och köpa";
System.out.println("Det var en gång en " + creature[RandomInt1] + " som skulle " + place[RandomInt2]);
}
}

You must hate my desk then with a fiery passion of 2000 stars.
And my basement even more.
Off topic but newegg is having a sale on HDD's, $80 for 1tb Spinpoint F3 [url]http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16822152185[/url] just bought one.
just got my new mechanical keyboard, it is beautiful. clicliclicliclickclikclikc

are spacebars usually stiffer than the rest of the keyboard?

why does he hate it? I have 4 monitors with that resolution.
also what is the best monitor to buy if you are on a slight budget?

My spacebar is stiffer than the rest of my keys, so probably.

It's weird to see people calling 80$ cheap after having so good prices for so long.

It's about the same on my model M, but mine's second hand so I dunno.
I suppose if there's more than one switch to the spacebar it would be stiffer since double the force required and all.

Yeah I know, Everytime I look at an HDD thats $150 just for a decent 1tb it shocks me. Now I wish I had've spent the extra $30 to get that 2tb drive 6 months ago.
But oh my god is RAM cheap now. Really considering buying 8GB DDR3 because why the fuck not.

Thats what I'm getting cause for $30 8 gb is amazing and I will only use 3 at max.
At this rate it'll be cheapest to store everything on ramdisks: SSDs aren't going down.

Ramdisks for main storage, backup all data to HDD at fastest possible rate during runtime.
Who needs SSDs anyway
Unused RAM is wasted RAM.
So make sure you use RAMDisks.

What I'd do is have it back up to one of those Hard drive SSD hybrid drives every hour and have a UPS in case of power outages.
Maximum speed.

I thought the point was to avoid SSDs

If you have the ram to put it in. This is why LGA2011 is really popular for power users. 64gb of something like 16GB/s storage space. It can load photoshop the moment you click it.
[QUOTE=Brt5470;33479677]something like 16GB/s[/QUOTE]
Probably higher.
Best-case, triple-channel DDR3-2400 has a peak transfer rate of 56.25 GiB/s.
Worst-case, single-channel DDR3-800 has a peak transfer rate of 6.25 GiB/s.
In an average case, dual-channel DDR3-1333 maxes out at 20.83 GiB/s.
Oh, and quad-channel DDR4 could theoretically break 100GiB/s, assuming they can actually reach the speeds they're aiming for. I don't even think I can comprehend how fast that ramdisk would be.
I'm still stuck with DDR2 :(
I'm basing it off my DDR3-1600 in dual channel. In real world uses, i get 7-8GB/s. I imagine a LGA2011 board on Quad channel would get something pretty close to double.
SDRAM represent. How fast is sdram anyway? :v:
look what I did
