    The Sleeper

    The end result is hot as balls but what a ton of work. I'd just do what you did in your mock up and use NZXT's cables but take all the credit. :p

    What is causing my 5850's fan to sound like a wood chipper?

    XFX is pretty good with their RMA I hear. They throw cards at people like it's going out of style. User: Hello, XFX? I sneezed. XFX: Here's a card!

    The Sleeper

    So what was your main reason for separating and individually sleeving the cables? I know there isn't much room behind the motherboard tray so I'm thinking individual sleeves would allow them to lay flatter or is it because it would be in the way of your LED setup? Thankfully they fixed this...

    Western Digital SiliconEdge Blue 256GB

    I think I post this after just about every SSD review but the price still needs to come down to the point where most users will spring for one. When you have a 640GB Caviar Black selling for just shy of $70 it's hard to justify shelling out the cash for a drive like this.

    One the eve of six or more cores...

    I have never run an AMD system but I have huge respect for how they deal with new hardware launches and how their gear is usually backwards compatible.

    One the eve of six or more cores...

    I'm going from 2 cores to...well, 2 cores. But I'll have hyper-threading! Call it approximately 2.60 cores but it will certainly be a step up from my E2180. Have a peek at the 5750 if you want a capable DX11 card on the cheap.

    What is causing my 5850's fan to sound like a wood chipper?

    It could be that the fan on it is starting to go. It shouldn't be because the card is so new but there is no such things as a perfect manufacturing process. At least you may have an excuse to get an aftermarket cooler, which in turn should give you more overclocking headroom if you're into that.

    5770 vs 4870?

    The 5850 is grossly overpriced. Maybe if it were lower the 5830 would be a little bit lower and right in the proper price bracket.

    Legal DVD's vs. Pirated DVD's

    There was a time when even though I owned the movie I still ripped it and burnt it onto a blank so I didn't have to put up with all of the studio BS. It ended up being too costly and I got lazy. I don't like being half way through my popcorn at the theater before the movie starts and I don't...

    Need Overclocking Tips/Help

    Ouch. Well, at least you know 100% where it stands. On the plus side you can get a really cheap motherboard that would at least allow you to change the FSB if you wanted. You wouldn't be able to change the voltages without a hardware mod but it would net you a small increase in performance...

    Need Overclocking Tips/Help

    Check out SoftFSB, CPUCool or CPUFSB. They may have it listed. If not you may be able to find the PLL by doing google searches. I did find this if you are REALLY hardcore... http://overclocking.e4allupgraders.info/ics950201.htm

    I miss Sonic The Hedgehog. Bring back the Genesis! I may buy a Wii for my wife at some point this year if the money is around but with our son being so little and very unset in his sleep patterns it is so hard for us to find time to sit down at watch a movie let alone put in time on a...

    CoolIT ECO A.L.C. Liquid CPU Cooler

    Awesome! I love it when manufacturers take an active role on the tech forums. It gives them a direct pipeline to the people they are designing their products for and it gives us a chance to ask questions or provide feedback. Very cool.

    Need Overclocking Tips/Help

    Hmm...that PLL doesn't follow the normal naming scheme. Check out the link below from Tom's Hardware regarding software overclocking. http://www.tomshardware.com/reviews/overclocking-software,2059-3.html SetFSB looks like a pretty good overclocking application too. You may want to check it...

    CONSOLE WARS!

    Winnar! I was solely a console gamer. NES, SNES, Game Boy, N64. Sega Genesis, Game Gear, Saturn, Dreamcast (the most under rated system and biggest cock up in gaming history in my opinion). PSX, PS2, PSP. Then I got into computers about 4 years ago and the rest is history. I guess the...

    5770 vs 4870?

    Go with a 5770 and overclock it. If you get one with a good enough cooler (Sapphire Vapor-X or Asus CuCore) you will get a nice little boost in performance.
