    Antec Nine Hundred

    In the build for my little brother, I found the Antec Ninehundred to be a great case for the price. The cabling was not bad with the PSU in the bottom. The only cable that was hard to rout was the 4 pin power cable for the mobo. Good air flow and the case ran really cool. I even considered...

    Microsoft Natural Ergonomic Desktop 7000

    Yeah, I hate having to install batteries in anything. It may stem from xmas time, when you have to buy batteries every week after then. Nothing like just plugging it into the USB and leaving it there. There is a soft keyboard, if you can call it a board, that you can roll up. all rubber, and...

    Will Microsoft Become 'Directionless' After Bill Gates Steps Outside?

    It's ALL about the stock holders. That's what brings a company down, any company. And SP1 for Vista, at first slows down the OS, then it stabilizes after reorganizing the files, give it a month to return. :techgage::techgage: Merlin :techgage::techgage:

    LOL...checked the temp with the Raytek MiniTemp and the card is running at 39*C at the hotest place. Just happened to check the LCD screen on the monitor and its at 41*C. So, the card is running cooler than the monitor screen. Nice, very nice Note: as it was with the stock cooler on the 8800GT...

    Thermaltake Duorb

    Quite quiet.....more so than the stock cooler ( to get the same temps ) In the Nvidia software, you can run the fan up to cool more, but the db's go up also. Now it's 2400 rpm and the PSU can be heard now over everything else....which I don't mind, it's cooling great at a lower decibel. From...
