^Thanks for saving me money then.

1st 2: will look into, thanks

3: Any reasons why Sandy > Ivy?

Obviously related to the newbie mix thing

^It's really hard to find dedicated mentors.

Vick is one of the guys who are trying to get this going again. I guess he's practically the leader now, lol.

We really need to get them started again. I was thinking eXtv could support it in some way, like letting us use the Mumble for it and streaming mixes. I know eXtine did this once, but I think we should have more of that if we get the mixes going again. Also, more mentors would be nice. It would be bad if it just became a pug thing like it did before.

I'll try to talk to Shwan or Giffy about it later. We really need this to keep 6s growing.

Also can the league be free

UPDATE: This list hasn't been updated in years. If I get around to it I'll update, otherwise just ask a question and someone will be able to answer.
----------------------------
Here's a list of 120+ Hz monitors. It will be updated every so often as new models are released and old models are discontinued.

Last Updated: May 15, 2016

Monitors In Production
These monitors are easy to find; they're usually available on Newegg and Amazon. Some are known to be great monitors, while others need more reviews on them to make a suggestion on them.

Click here for a list that's probably going to be more up-to-date. This one doesn't have any recommendations or monitors to avoid, but you can check reviews and ask on this thread.

Recommended

ASUS VG248QE (144Hz): One of the most-used monitors out there (it was the first 24-inch 144Hz monitor). Colors are weird out of the box on refresh rates greater than 60Hz, but can be adjusted to taste. 60Hz colors are fine, but don't get this monitor for that reason. 1080p resolution (16:9).

Tip: Make sure to calibrate the colors on this screen. There are numerous guides for this.

BenQ (Zowie) XL series (120-144Hz): One of the most recommended brands for gaming monitors. The XL series are what you want if you want 120+Hz. ESEA used these monitors at most, if not all, ESEA Invite LAN finals. Earlier models only go up to 120Hz but all four current models (XL2411Z, XL2720Z, XL2430T, and XL2730Z). Supports up to 1080p (16:9) except for XL2730Z which supports up to 1440p (16:9).

Good

AOC G2460PQU (144Hz): Seems like a pretty good monitor looking at reviews, and seems to do better than the above monitors at 144Hz. However, I haven't seen it recommended here. 1080p resolution (16:9).

Korean Monitors

Many Korean monitors can be overclocked. However, there is apparently a big risk of stuck/dead pixels. If you buy one of these two: 1 2 and follow this overclocking guide on AMD (you can add custom resolutions/framerates with Nvidia's drivers, but still look at that guide before touching those settings) you should be fine. However, they still have less features and at least the QNIX lacks even an OSD. If you can afford it, you should probably go with a brand-name monitor like ASUS, BenQ, LG, etc.

Discontinued Monitors
These monitors are no longer in production. This means they're not available on Newegg and new monitors may be hard to find (and could be insanely expensive, depending on the monitor). Used ones may be abundant.

CRTs

CRTs are the original 120+ Hz monitors. However, they're limited in that you usually can't play at the maximum resolution with greater than 60Hz. Using a lower resolution such as 800x600 or 640x480 will usually allow for this. Unless you can find a widescreen CRT, your effective FOV will be 90 degrees at fov_desired 90, instead of 106.3 degrees with 16:9 monitors or 100.4 with 16:10 monitors. Many people went this route, either due to cost or previous issues that LCD 120+Hz monitors had (input lag, motion blur, etc.). The latter reason is going away due to improvements in 120+Hz monitors (2D Lightboost and usability on AMD for removing motion blur, decreased input lag). CRTs remain much cheaper than even some 60Hz LCD monitors (because few people actually want them in 2016), so they will continue to be a popular choice.

So I need to get stuff for my computer and I need help.

First, I need a new case. I found one that looks really cool, but it's pretty expensive. Seems to be $119 normally, most places have it at $109, and 2 places have it at $86. Might buy it for $86, but I'm still not sure. (this is the case btw) Might be better to get a more simple case. So, suggestions?

Second, I need a new mouse pad. I have one of those old ones that look like this so it feels pretty cramped. So what mousepads would you all recommend? DONE - Got the Razer Goliathus Control in large size

Third, I'm considering taking my current computer, leaving one HDD in, swapping out the video card for an older one, and making it my streaming PC because I want to upgrade my main PC. This is my current PC. I want to get new parts because I'd like to get better performance in TF2. I would stay with AMD but I've heard bad things about Bulldozer so I want to try Intel this time. I would like to know if it's better to get Sandy or Ivy, and which model I should get (i5/i7 of course, don't troll me with i3s). Edit: On second thought, a 2nd computer may not be a good idea. My reasoning for a 2nd PC is that I want to stream with no performance loss. Getting a capture card would also allow me to stream/record console games. Either way, I want to upgrade.

Last, I want a 120Hz monitor but we need a thread for that so people don't ask the same question in a million different threads.

Thanks for the help in advance.

Do you think mustard should stop posting

Is there a way to stream that won't bother my sister or my viewers?

Like the 1 I would get LOL

Indianapolis would be better. At least for me.

I'd take Chicago though.

get out of middle school

oh u

This actually does work in my situation. My parents enforce a 10pm bedtime (unless I manage to talk them into making it 10:30 at least, in which case this would be irrelevant)which obviously prevents me from playing in ESEA or UGC, but I can still play in ETF2L assuming matches start no earlier than 3:30. I'll have a high ping, but I'm willing to deal with it.

What would you recommend someone who can't play in a league to do?

Are you and your brother going to sue the people who made this? http://www.amazon.com/Harold-470-Fat-Mop/dp/B0000CEWRI

/me started playing comp TF2 after the days of gotfrag
