Sunny, thanks for your valueable suggestion but what would be the lowest possible cost of any Syncmaster (Doesn't matter the size in inches), that provides full HD and supports hdmi?
brother if you want samsung then wait for the restock
both czone and galaxy are out of stock from samsung lcd's
and btw the LED i mentioned is best for you lookwise and performance wise

There is no difference between CM 690 2 advanced and plus except an
VGA holder: 80 x 15 mm fan x 1 (optional)

I just bought the 2 plus version. I thought 7600 is a great deal for it. They also agreed to send without a PSU and I'll be getting it tonight. :)
I've also ordered a Hyper 212+ which came in yesterday's shipment, hard drive and memory. :)

    Score 1 for game pass. I wouldn't pay full price for this at retail either.

    Just downloaded my first legit digital PC game on GoG at a discount of $8: Two Point Hospital. The same team behind Theme Hospital Two Point Studios now part of Sega. And I am having more fun than most recent AAA games except of course BG3.

    Still, I don't like either Sony or Microsoft as they are focusing more on corporate greed than delighting customers. PC gaming is best of gaming and worth every penny.

    PC Gamer score of 58/100 for Hellblade 2??? Is it really worse than Gollum that was 64/100? Microsoft games can't even come close to high scores of Sony exclusives apparently.

    About the Microsoft (and Sony) debate, I feel both have become too greedy and losing their minds over corporate greed. Personally, I will never buy any console next gen and switch to PC gaming where democracy reins.
