I am not sure what I want to display. probably start with temps or picture slide show or something, till I can find or build my own program to manipulate information.

Sorry I havent done any updates for a few days. been really busy trying to get stuff done before my surgery on thursday. I was able to turn the computer on again last night and noticed the screen was "shakey" like it was vibrating. first I made sure it wasnt the whole monitor shaking, then I made sure the monitor was plugged in tight, then I made sure the x1900 was in the socket tight. All those things were fine and didnt fix the issue. I was starting to get a little freaked out that I would have to RMA the card and wait a few weeks for a new one....and thats if they RMA'd it. well for what ever reason it popped into my head to look at the refresh rate. It was set at 75hz. I bumped it down to 60hz and it fixed the problem. I know longer feel like I am drunk when I look at the screen.

I am testing on an old Sony CRT. Hopefully when I get my rig on my new Dells, I can bump it back up.

Goby...Try turning on vsync? That seemed to helped my shaking problem...Just leave it set to always on

A friend of mine used to have this problem with his CRT. It was caused by the desk lamp next to his monitor.

So see if theres anything electrical that couls cause interference. Although the fact a different refresh rate fixed it, makes me doubt its interference. Its worth checking though.

idd, now that i remember, i had some speakers who totatly pull my screen of and changed the colors.... but that was because of the magnet in the speakers. Also when i put my amplifier to close to my CRT the corner starts to shake a little, but not really noticalble....

I'm not sure there was anything around to interfere. The rig is sitting on the kitchen table with no electronics with 15 ft. and nothing was turned on IE: microwave, dishwasher, radio....

and the only light on was the ceiling light. I noticed the shaking the other day during bios set up, but when I went into windows it seemed to disappear so I figured bios was setup to be a little less stable. I didnt notice it in windows until last night because I had not opened any programs until now, so there was no reference points to see the shaking.

But like I said bumping down the refresh rate fixed the problem.

on the other hand, I LOVE OEM WINDOWS!!!! none of that crap promotional software junk, no "sign up for AOL", no useless programs, no more junk that you never use that just takes up space.

I love that!

Hey quick question for ya Goby: Where do you find out information on how to setup the lcd stuff? With the old card your work had along side the psone screen... BTW This case looks great you need to take a pic and post it in 1280x1024 res. sos I can have it as my background image on the desktop!!! That'd be suhweeeeet!!

Here is a "how to guide" on the PSONE screen

and here is a really informative LONG thread about it. I found this most helpful.

just google psone lcd, and you will get tons of hits for the mod!

What picture would you like. Currently it looks like crap with all the wires hanging out and stuff, but as soon as I get it all sleeved, it will look "schweeet"

ps. I am honored someone would want to use it as a background!

Just take one when your done with the setup... Or just post a cool one with the water setup in in with the 2 blue fan tubes. Those are cool ones. I like the nite shots too with all the preeties glowing........
