LOL!!! No no no no no, not Nehalem. I am talking a few series after that. I wish like hell I could find the article I read. Basically they are talking about locking the FSB and multi's since they CPU's are going to be so powerful at their rated speeds then overclocking would be deemed...

High end air cooling will keep up to the Bigwater.

The Freezone Elite works well enough for Quads, but it is more for silence than max cooling. I my opinion, your best option is to buy a full on real watercooling setup. Next would be the Elite and third would be a bigwater.

I said in the next few releases. So far it is rumor and speculation, but it is definitely going around that they are going to start making it more difficult to overclock in the future. Overclocking is helping things sell now, but it is still cutting into the bottom line since noone wants to...

Nice!!! I have zero painting skills as well. Although a nice paintjob would be wasted on my PC since it sits inside a cave in my right hand desk pier.

Thanks guys! I am happy enough with the wiring, don't get me wrong. Only a modular PSU would free up any dead space, although it is less cluttered than it looks. @ NicePants42: As for those Noctua fans, they are readily availably now pretty much anywhere. They are sooo much better than the...

Thanks guys. I am almost ashamed of my less than stellar wiring job, but it is better than my usual wild freestyle look. I was nervous that the Swiftech rad would be overwhelmed because it is kinda wimpy, but it sure works good.

OK, I promised pictures of this once I got it all installed. I finished it up yesterday and just got finished leak testing for ~20hrs. I removed the drive cages and installed the MCR220 radiator up front with the 2 fans pulling through it. On the backside of the cage, I mounted a MCP355 and I...

The original Super Nintendo and Mario Brothers are my all time favorites. I have tried buying that console a dozen times on Ebay but I keep getting outbid, lol.

You could easily partiton the 4 drive raid array into smaller partitions and get the same effect. It is truly my opinion, but I feel that any more than 4 drives in a system makes no sense and if you need to dual boot then multiple partitons on the same array is easy enough. EDIT: I do agree...

I can happily say I am glad I bought the 8800GTS 512MB card. I paid just nder $300 for it and it plays everything I throw at it @ 1920X1200 with some AA/AF thrown in. While the GX2 is of course a fast card, it is nothing to lose sleep about. I could simply add another GTS to my system for...

Honestly, that was the deciding factor for my purchase. I even got the one with just a Blu-Ray movie included and no games. While the X-Box has a larger library, I always have and always will prefer Sony's approach to gaming. I've owned both PS1 and still have a PS2 and their game libraries...

PS3 + built in Blu-Ray > X-Box any day. EDIT: This is, of course, my opinion and should not be taken as flame bait but as a basis to discuss this further.

I recently aquired a PS3 with this game specifically in mind. My TV only goes up to 1080i, but it still looks incredible to me. I have been playing the demo that you can download from Sony and I for one will be buying this game the day it is available.

I heard the same thing where people were able to get it through Update today but not yesterday.

I got it through Windows update for my PC today......

They are just keeping tight controls on the amount released to force people to buy the older stuff now instead of it sitting on shelves collecting dust.

4X320GB in RAID10 is not what I meant and I should have been more specific. I am talking the people putting 80GB or smaller drives in RAID0 for benchmarking purposes and complaining when they lose their data. Even you have chosen the wise route with RAID10 since it is quite safe and indeed...

I just don't agree with needing more than 4 drives. Those same enthusiasts that are spending $250+ for a case are also going to need to buy 1TB drives to continue impressing the ladies with their spending power. I don't know anyone that runs more than 4 drives unless they are stringing a bunch...

We used HWBOT on AQM4 forums, although the HWBOT is a pain in the ass sometimes. I am pretty sure it works with V-Bulletin better than the IPB software AQM4 runs. If you want, I can set up a Techgage HWBOT team easy enough.
