Here you go. This is the initial color profile I am using for the 27Q. I'm probably going to borrow or buy a cheap colorometer to calibrate it mself, but the profile will get you in a good range if the monitor is weighted too blue out of the box. Looks good. Glad you like it so far. Are you...

Hey Coupz... my temps are roughly 50 C as well on my 5770 running 2+ monitors. I don't think you're too far from the norm there, although I feel your pain on the fan noise. Usually the mix of apps I have open: Pshop (6-10 files open at any time) Illustrator (6-10 images open at a time)...

It is bigger, but in person not so much bigger. The thing you notice right away is the resolution. Definitely download the 27q color profile and load that up right away. You'll notice a major difference in color after you do even a minor calibration. Trick with the logo is to work the...

Sorry I don't have a very good camera, but here are a few of mine in actions. As I mentioned it's going to get wall mounted soon. Just finished a basement office renovation and need to paint walls, etc first. After that I'll be building some bookcases and a new longer desk, and the monitor...

Good stuff adkap2. If you do your research on the sellers you should be fine. The following list is the current posted list off overclock for prices, but shop around and see which seller reputation and what they might bundle (US power brick or free shipping, etc). Model: 27Q LED green-sum...

Totally understand Coupz and I really do understand going with the know quantity for all the reasons you state. They're both really good options, and price being no option I'd probably do the same. The tradoffs of price vs a bit of a gamble on absolute perfection is a real consideration...

Just to respond to Coupz... Check out http://www.overclock.net/t/1232496/cros ... r-club/940 for reviews from people who have actually bought a monitor and provided their feedback on quality. There are pics in the threads for the Crossover models and other brands that show the panels...

I just bought the Crossover 27Q from a seller on ebay about a week ago. Cost was $377 shipped and I received a perfect unit with no dead pixels. The panel is an IPS LG with 2560x1440 resolution and I have to say the image is amazing compared to my much cheaper Asus P235 models it's sitting...

Following up on the choice of CPU question... I have both a low power machine i3 I run as a simple HTPC client with HD3000 and it works great for that in our basement TV room. I have another mixed use machine with a 2500K that I use for ripping and transcoding my dvd collection. I've been...

Just a note since I had started to try to run one of my OSX machines as a server over the last year... if you have a mixed network with both windows and mac machines the borked Lion SMB implementation is a major PITA. You can get SMB working mostly properly by turning off the native version and...

I have the black Wesena ITX-6 and while I love the case itself it is a very tight fit if you want the optical drive in there too. The issue is the 3.5" drive hangs down below the optical drive (it's all on one wall to wall tray suspended above the MB) and gives you barely 40mm of clearance. I...

Batmobile 5770 in Lion works with 2 DVI connected monitors, Vervet framebuffer. You'll see lots of other references to it throughout the forums. I had 3 using the 10.6.7 kexts and Chimera bootloader, 2x DVI and a DP > DVI active adapter. My 3rd monitor recently died so I'm unfortunately just...

Thanks all. Some of the language on the Lion Server page made it sound like it was the full install. Tried to buy and it confirms that you need to be on Lion first. So I'm just waiting a few days for any early issues to get ironed out and then I'll be doing the full install. Thanks.

I'm debating installing OSX Lion Server ($49 now) for the easy development sever setup. Currently running 10.6.8 with and I7-950 on an x58a-ud3r (only mod is using the 10.6.7 ATI kexts to preserve 3 monitor support for the 5770). Has anyone any info on installing this on a hack vs Lion? Are...

I got the Silverstone FT02-b for my hack. Lovely solid black aluminum case with great airflow and a very streamlined, minimalist look. Nearly silent if you take a bit of time to manage the fan speeds and components you use. I'd argue it's probably the closest looking high end tower to the...

Just delete all the ATI kexts from SLE and use kext helper to restore all the 10.6.6 or 10.6.7 kexts to SLE and repair permissions (just to be safe). I had the same problem with my DP > DVI monitor after 10.6.8, but using the 10.6.7 kexts everything seems to be back to normal now. Not sure if...

I did the 10.6.8 update last night and ended up having to revert to the 10.6.7 ATI kexts to keep all 3 monitors. The DP > DVI monitor that works under the old kexts is dark under 10.6.8 (shows up in the profiler though). Hopefully this isn't an indication that future OSX graphics support will...

Installed combo update which went fine. Rebooted without any additional installs just to see what 10.6.8 might bring. Audio not working (889) Displayport in a 3 monitor config no longer sending signal, but shows up in the profiler as connected. Reinstalled backed up 10.6.7 ATI kexts (regular...

Active adapters convert the video signal from one output (displayport for instance) to a different one . DVI in my case, but it could be HDMI, VGA, or whatever. Think of it as a small translation of the original signal to the desired video signal. DP and VGA, for instance, are not the same...

The best luck I've had with both reference and non reference cards is using the original 10.6.7 kexts (not the latest iMac ones from Multibeast), the latest experimental bootloader or Chimera (both appear to work equally well for my 5770 batmobile, and the Vervet bootloader. If you haven't...
