Paca, concerning the LCD monitor, I wanna share some fact and experience.

First of all, let's talk about the pixel density. Just in case you don't have much info on it, here is a brief breakdown.

-Pixel density is typically the number of pixels that can fit within 1x1 square inch.
-For a casual user, the minimum comfortable pixel density is (90x90)/1 square inch = 8100 pixels/sq. in.
-Just in case you're curious, you can draw a 1 inch line and try to divide to it 90 columns  (Frankly I did that before  )

Use this website as a reference: TV/LCD Size/Pixel Calculator

So what about it then, this pixel density thing?
Previously :3mushy:3 explained to you that:
20" max pix = 1680x1050(16:10) or 1600x900(16:9)
21.5" max pix= 1900x1200(16:10 or 1920x1080(16:9)

Graphic processing power:
According to piumiu's suggestion Gecube HD 4890 1GB DR5 699, I think there's no problem handling that many pixel in most games.

Usability experience; MY experience    :
20"(1680x1050) have 9811 pixels / sq. in. ; 21.5"(1920x1080) have 10508 pixels / sq. in. ; My 23"(1920x1080) have 9176 pixels / sq. in.
So what?
Well, while using my 23" samsung at native resolution, I find that the text is a bit smaller than what I was used to (previously use 17" CRT Syncmaster) but after a while I'm used to it. So now the 21.5" is a smaller screen but have more than 1000 extra pixel density. Text will be much smaller in the native resolution. Well, just change the resolution right? Not really since your pic, wallpaper, browser or anything displayed on your monitor will look stretched out. Best is, try it out yourself first with your friend's LCD or go to shops to see if you're comfortable with it. Games?? Hell, just blow out the resolution to max with that HD 4890

And then comes the height. Most LCD monitor usually comes tilted, and that's all it. There are those with adjustable height, tilt and rotation with a lil bit of premium price, just a bit. So again if you can try it out first. My chair can't be adjusted and my PC table is a bit short, so I resorted to put some wooden blocks under my LCD  . If only my LCD can be tilted a bit more 

So that's all for my short info/exp sharing 

Hi Piumiu,

Can suggest me a rig .. Actually i plan to build a rig with a budget of RM 3000 without lcd...

Im confuse of to choose AMD or Intel.. Some say AMD proc is hot cant last for long.

I  just  want to build a rig that is flexible to upgrade in future.. for example gc ...

Thanks

performance wise its not even comparable with Intel i7 but its definitely much cheaper than i7

Piumiu,

Isnt ddr3 perform better than ddr2? or both is the same 1?

I havent get myself a pc yet, thinking to build 1.. so any suggestion? i thinking getting C2Q which i7 is a bit of overbudget..

some noob question here...
i saw most of the GC's brand piumiu recommand is Gecube,
just wondering whats the diff between diff brand??
i heard b4 its differ by its cooling system.

- so usually i open my com 24/7, do I have to worry bout the cooling prob??

- is that nessasary to get another power supply even if i'm buying coolermaster 690 casing? aren't them just differ by the PSU they provide? and the outter looks which is not really important to me..XD

was looking at piumui's AMD gaming AM3-value's plan.

thx in advance...

Gecube, Saphire and HIS are all using refernce design and coolers.
It should be the same for all these. Mostly difference are the packing, warranty and games included.
I dont see any crucial difference thats why I proposed Gecube.

If you look at my recomendation. Its already included PSU.
CM690 dosent come with PSU and the casing is very good with airflow but you have to add 2 12cm fan on top.

hmm...adding 2 12cm fan on top means i have to drill some hole on the casing??
or it already provide u the slot but without fan..

sry for another noob ques..lol..thx thx...
