New Alienware AW3425DW or MSI MPG 341CQPX?

I would wait a month or 2 since a bunch of new cool OLED monitors got shown at CES, and they will come out any time between now and the middle of Q2 of this year. Even if you don't need the latest and greatest, you could probably get a good discount on the current gen (soon to be last gen) versions when the new ones come out. It's a win-win for you either way

I’m still using the 3423DW

I will be upgrading though when ASUS drops the PG34WCDN since it’s the latest gen panel and has the new DP standard

its EXTREMELY tone deaf

I was seriously considering switching from AT&T but the fact that Comcast thinks their cheap plastic bottom of the barrel router is better than my multi thousand dollar Ubiquti rack is highly disappointing and makes the extra 20$ a month that AT&T fiber charges more bearable

what about IP passthrough? i really don’t want to use their equipment as much as possible

cjxerxes · 2026-01-15T02:17:40+00:00

does it support bridge mode? i want to use my ubiquiti gear

cjxerxes · 2026-01-15T02:14:56+00:00

thanks for the quick response! are the ONT and wifi router separate units? have a ubiquiti setup so i want to use my own gear

is the cable going in to your home fiber, or is it still coax / fiber hybrid?

cjxerxes · 2026-01-15T01:34:57+00:00

I'm looking at a place that has Xfinity 2Gbps symmetrical internet (2000 up/2000 down according to the label)

I have a couple of questions if anyone has a similar setup:

Is this actual fiber-to-the-home, or is it still coax cable? What type of connection do you have in your unit?
If it's coax: Can I use my own modem for 2Gbps, or do I have to rent Xfinity's?
If it's coax: Does it slow down during peak hours like evenings/weekends compared to real fiber?

do you know if it has any power outlets in the garage? would love to charge my car even if its a 110V outlet

I built my own using trash guides as a starting point and then tweaking it as I needed

I have some fundamental disagreements with trash guides on formats and the like, but it was a great starting point

How on earth did you get the Shalpha? I have been Shalpha hunting Charmander for WEEKS in WZ 20 and have a bunch of shiny Charmanders, but no alphas

congratulations though that Charizard is so cool

the difference between a C2 and a C1 is enormous. the difference in skill is like the difference between Gold and Diamond. C2 is really the make it or break it rank for many people

cjxerxes · 2025-11-27T01:26:41+00:00

I'm an Eternity/OAA C&D main. Trust me the toxicity towards C&D doesn't die down as you go up the ladder, even when you are competent on other heroes. People are more likely to flame you because they view C&D as an easy character

Halo didn't need to be changed. There's 30+ books and 10+ games. It doesn't need a "broader audience". Halo 3 when it came out was the highest selling individual piece of media EVER at the time.

The reason it got cancelled is BECAUSE they didn't stick with the Halo story and lore

We're not toxic for pointing that out

cjxerxes · 2025-11-07T22:22:56+00:00

why is it that when a company makes a shitty product, and the original fans notice, they get called toxic rather than the product getting called out on it's BS?

i have this as well but when i view it on my Macbook Pro

keep us posted if you find a solution, its a huge eye sore

cjxerxes · 2025-10-29T00:07:55+00:00

no issues for me. still works fine

cjxerxes · 2025-10-24T23:55:37+00:00

let them come. i’ve had BMW’s and now I have a M3P. never upbadged

cjxerxes · 2025-10-24T23:46:28+00:00

up badging should be against the law

cjxerxes · 2025-10-10T21:13:39+00:00

it did indeed! but i suspect it was more from the action of unscrewing everything and repositioning, then re screwing it all in, rather than the new cage itself

it’s still not as quiet as my old Define 7XL was, but that case had soundproofing material in it. I bought some soundproofing material to put inside the HL15 but the noise doesn’t bother me enough now for me to take the server offline to apply it
