Thought this would be a fun poll.

Thought it would be interesting to see how far people are overclocking their chips on their primary PC.

Okay folks you hear this debated all the time, well I am in luck. I have in front of me and next to me an IPS and a TN panel, both 27". The reasoning I hear all the time is that an IPS does a better job at color reproduction. What I am looking for is a picture or two that really show this difference. If you have such a picture please post it so I can look at the results myself to see if the difference is as huge as people say. Right now to be honest I am having trouble seeing this supposed difference and I am wondering if it is because of the pictures I have chosen off the internet.

I am looking at getting a 27" monitor, old man and bad eyes  So I am fine with just a 1080 resolution on it. I found what appears to be a great deal at Microcenter. An Auria EQ276L, the price of $199 is really tempting, however I am not familiar with this brand. Also the brands PDF for the monitor shows it as 12ms while Microcenter has it listed as 4ms on the response. Hoping someone here as personal experience with the brand or even better this specific monitor.

Hey guys, as the news noted on the front page we are doing a build series on the show and our focus is an ITX Gaming Rig. I have to tell you that during this series as we worked through the cases and MULTIPLE builds we discovered a lot of neat little facts and tips when it comes to building an ITX system. However the coolest thing I discovered is that an ITX system does not mean you need to compromise on performance. The final rig we build will easily play any game on the market at 1080 resolutions and detail cranked up. It has a lot of head room and we could have even built bigger, interest choice of words considering we are talking about ITX. The Small size means the finished PC can fit practically anywhere and serve any function.

If you have any questions or thoughts as we go through the build pleased post them here. I thought it would be cool to start a discussion about ITX building and this is my community of choice. Check out the shows blog for the latest written piece about the build and every Monday afternoon the podcast of the show will be available to hear our discussion from on air.
