A matte finish will reduce reflections in the screen, most cheap or older displays with have a glossy finish. Some high-grade panels even have anti-glare coatings so you can use them outdoors |

Anyone have experience with using old Intel Xeon server CPU's in a more consumer mobo (X58 chipset)? |
| shitlord:
check your motherboard cpu support list if it doesn't say xeon, i wouldn't try it, but if you have all the parts ready to go then give it a shot and see if it boots |

I'm talking about making a PC build using parts off eBay to get power for cheap. Wondering if anyone here has experience with that. Xeon's aren't consumer chips, they are server CPU's. The thing is that if you get an old enough one, its still powerful by today's standards, and its cheap (around $100 mark). |
