You ladies need to get on my level. http://m.ebay.com/itm/221057230823 ive used mine for almost 2 years now. I did have to replace the "brick-on-a-rope" power supply just last week. Only downside is, if you want to play the latest games at 2560x1600, you better have a new crossfire or sli setup. I …

Anyone will try of discover name for the audio card? Hmm... too generic. Both SB 1.x/2.0 as well as SB Pro uses brackets with identical port spacing. We'd need to see more. I have a Vibra 16 with that same type of back panel, so it really doesnt narrow it down at all. CT???? @QBiN; unfortunately no …

There's a reason it has no AGP; the onboard VGA uses it. My PIII 450 MHz 440BX HP Vectra system is from around 1999 and has an identical sort of setup (built-in graphics uses the AGP interface, only PCI and ISA available on a riser card due to the form factor). Yes. onbord SiS 8Mb, that's could be …

Because CRT's use about +75% more power, and produce a -TON- of heat when they run, and they're super heavy and take up all your desk when you have them. I haven't owned CRT's in years, all my machines old and new use LCD's now. The biggest reason is to cut down on heat since here our summers can …

Just swapped my 19inch Viewsonic LCD for a 17inch Viewsonic p75f+ CRT 1600x1200 w/ 75 Hertz refresh is pretty cool! For whatever reason there are not proper 7 drivers for my LCD so some games give an out of range error message on it. Thus the swap Why CRT's are no more produced? I hate LCD's, even …
