These glasses are kinda stupid...

LiNKiN · 01-24-2007, 02:59 PM

I really like the look of that fan controller.

I think that is actually what the screen will look like in 3d mode....when you put the glasses on itll pop out at ya. I think that it isnt a ghosting effect you are seeing just the blurryness due to 3dmode (which it says you can switch between 2d and 3d). Of course it looks as its meant to once you put the glasses on.

they didn't show any new coolers? you'd think they'd update their lines with something new, as opposed to the recent trend of just making things a little bigger.

I wonder how that fan controller monitors power consumption.

Schnookums · 01-24-2007, 07:16 PM

In my other PC I wanted a fan controller but the stupid door blocks the knobs on the controllers and all the good ones have knobs on the front

Take the door off ?)

That ZM-MFC2 seems sweet, have ZM-MFC1 at the moment. Hate the CRAZY bright bue leds on front, have darkened them almost black but still have to move chair in front on night

Other than one burned light it has been great. Wonder about that power consumption as well how it mesures it, but seems like a good upgrade someday, if it's not twice the price :P

THRASHER2 · 01-25-2007, 02:13 AM

That ZM-MFC2 fan controller is Sweeeet

I wonder if they are gonna change the back-lite to Red to match the hole fatal1ty Theme.
