Yes, it is a 17" screen. Thanks for the question, I've changed the system stats. I should also add that Gateway installed the wrong screen. It advertises a 17" WXGA (1440 x 900) screen on the box, computer and on Best Buy's website. But I found out that batch numbers beginning with H and low I's had the better screen. I went to 3 Best Buy stores and had the salespeople look at every box in stock, until finally they found a I batch with a 7000 number. The only drawback is that some web sites fonts are extremely small and hard to read. But on the other hand, I can open up and use two windows, besides running games in a high resolution.

Connect a mouse with a Scroll Wheel and then hold down Ctrl + Scroll the wheel. You can adjust the website font sizes that way.

Wow, That tip made my day. Now I can put the magnifying glass away. Some fonts were so small, I thought I would go blind trying to read them. Thanks for the tip!

Good Morning All (East Coast U.S. time)

Had some issues/problems with ordering the Samsung T240 24" Monitor.... NOT on NCIXUS's side!! It was on my banks side... ugh.

To make a long story short.... Purchased with Bank of America Card #xxxx but Bank of America said that they had to send me a new card (with new card #) because my card possibly was compromised..... Five days after they send the new card my old card (the one I used to purchase the 24" LCD)...

NCIXUS was GREAT! Harley is the gentleman I spoke with. Called me back within 20 mins or less. Informed me to speak with my Bank (which was pretty easy also). Activated my new card and called Harley back and he finished the transaction with the new card! The monitor has not been shipped yet but so far it's been good!

dude.. I had the same problem with B of A and getting my T240, the reason is sort of with NCIXUS.. they actually charge your card for a $0.01c charge, and then the entire price of the item. and that 1 cent charge flagged my account with B of A and I didn't get my order done, so I had to do all the crap you did, and I got my monitor instead of that week. the next as it took to long over the weekend for delivery..

It's a great monitor and my bank was just watching out for me, since there was 2 weird usages from canada.. ya know.

Good luck accord, you will enjoy it. and did you decide on some ram yet?

I was thinking about this: (Newegg.com - CORSAIR 4GB (2 x 2GB) 240-Pin DDR2 SDRAM DDR2 1066 (PC2 8500) Dual Channel Kit Desktop Memory - Desktop Memory)

It's not the Dominator Series but it still has EPP

Yes but it's not Dominator series! I'm SO in love with my Dominator RAM ever since I grabbed it! However, it's honestly a bit expensive, almost to much for my tastes but hey... I splurged...

 

[96accord]

I know the Dominator series is nice... A buddy has it but for me I don't think it will be worth it.. Plus I am cheap!

 

[MrNeeds]

dominator is sexay, i got a cooler with mine for a bit more, but i also got 8GB of the stuff

 

[EmulatorX]

i showed my system like a week ago, but here's a broader view, its the only space i have in my 1 bedroom apt lol, its tight , but i made it happen hehe

I have a Razer Deathadder mouse now, and its the only photo I could get considering I dont have batteries for my camera

 

[johngalt]

Nice use of space there.

Here is the updated set of pics for my set - includes some never before seen photos of me playing various games when the system had just a little old eVGA 8800GTS GA, as well as pics of the new stuff I have gotten since then....

how are you liking the deathadder?
i just got one also the other day.

had a little trouble with the drivers for mac but it turns out it doesn't like being plugged into a usb hub.

 

[xguntherc]

Ya, that ram would be pretty good there Accord, but it's $77, for $10 dollars more you could get the dominators for $87. I think they are well worth the 10 dollars, they'd be worth it for 20 more, for me at least. let me find you some good ram though.

Its quite amazing, the weight of it keeps it from lifting off the mouse pad and speed of it is so much better than having the regular mouse which takes time to put your cursor over the desired object and it already being almost of the mousepad the deathadder completly defeats that.

 

[xguntherc]

WOW... i didnt realize the dominators went up so much in price.. thats terrible. (To be honest, they might have the same chips on them as the ones you linked to, but my next choice would be these.)
and it comes with a 2GB flash drive, AND.. AND 3DMark Vantage, all for the same price, vantage is $30 by itself. so thats a good deal.
Newegg.com - Patriot Viper 4GB (2 x 2GB) 240-Pin DDR2 SDRAM DDR2 1066 (PC2 8500) Desktop Memory + 2GB Xporter Razzo USB w/Futuremark 3DMark Vantage Bundle - Desktop Memory

or

These are very great, i've heard Very good stories about this ram, it's some of the best around. but your can't get 4 sticks in ram slots with these, they are to fat, but amazing ram
Newegg.com - mushkin XP ASCENT w/ eVCI technology 4GB (2 x 2GB) 240-Pin DDR2 SDRAM DDR2 1066 (PC2 8500) Dual Channel Kit Desktop Memory - Desktop Memory

 

[xguntherc]

Boom, I got you covered. totally buy these. they are only $77.99 and FREE shipping. and they are in NY. so will be at MD fast only a state away. better than all listed above, other than maybe the ascents, then again I've tested these in the 750i and they are the best ram I've ever ran in my board.

ah yeah i feel the same way about it. the weight of it compared to my old bluetooth mouse feels so much better and a lot more repsonsive.
