the best would be mini dp to dp. then hdmi, dvi and finally vga.

in a nutshell, firewire's just like the usb connection on your external hdd. it's a medium for your machine to read/write onto the external hdd.

some prefer firewire because it does not go through the cpu first unlike usb, hence if you're transferring large files it puts less load and is able to sustain it's speed throughout the process whereas usb fluctuates.

for normal usage, usb would suffice. but if you could find a good deal on firewire 400/800 equipped devices, well yeah :)

@naughtyz - firstly you could do a minimal brightness "tweak" via display calibration. if that proves to be unsatisfactory, try giving shades a go.

d'oh, i stand corrected. thanks for pointing that out wei :)

have you tried pm'ing wei straight to ask him about it? not to sound all holier than thou but i just find it somewhat impolite if you were to ask others openly on a person's "belonging" without first attempting to ask the owner. but i do clearly remember him sharing the model. so on that note;

yeah i was pissed at how i couldn't get isopropyl off the shelf here, so i asked my cousin to bring it with her when she visited.

used it once when building my gaming rig and twice when reapplying gpu's thermal paste. and that's it lol ><
