    Hot! Hot! Hot! Black Enermax Chakra $48.99 AMIR

    Yeah, I wouldn't put anything larger than a 9700 in this case. Even a Ninja will require some modding of the fan to fit it in.

    Hot! Hot! Hot! Black Enermax Chakra $48.99 AMIR

    You can also remove the fan, but then there's really no point in getting the case.

    Hot! Hot! Hot! Black Enermax Chakra $48.99 AMIR

    That's between the top of the heatsink to the 25cm fan. Can't find my tape measure, so it's hard to make an exact measurement. Then again, I think it's the heatpipes themselves giving the Ultra 120 its extra height, so you might be able to find a way to get it in there without interfering...

    Hot! Hot! Hot! Black Enermax Chakra $48.99 AMIR

    I have a 9700 in my Chakra. It has about 1cm of clearance, and according to Newegg is 142mm tall. By comparison, I believe the Tuniq is 153mm tall and the Ultra 120 is 160.5mm tall. Based on those figures, I'd guess the Tuniq would fit, though it'd be tight, but the Ultra 120 may be...

    Corsair 520W PSU $80 after MIR, $70 with GCO, free shipping

    Don't feel bad, I got mine maybe 4 or 5 months ago for $115. It is a great PSU though, and for this price, it's a steal.

    BUFFALO Firestix 2GB (2 x 1GB) DDR2 800 Dual Channel Memory...$163.99 + $4.99 sh @ Newegg

    I believe the $140 Geil sticks are not Microns. The Micron ones (GX22GB6400PDC) are $240.

    Samsung 226bw 22" lcd $350 shipped after rebate

    I haven't noticed anything quite that bad, but I do know if you enable the dynamic contrast option, color rendering gets cut to pieces, at least on the "A" panel. But yeah, if you're looking with something with high color fidelity, you're better off going with a more expensive MVA/PVA monitor...

    Samsung 226bw 22" lcd $350 shipped after rebate

    Nope, Buy.com. I typically don't get big ticket items from Newegg because of the tax. It's luck of the draw I guess.

    Samsung 226bw 22" lcd $350 shipped after rebate

    Got one a week or so ago. I'd say it's definitely nice, but I did have to lower the brightness quite a bit to make it comfortable. Also I'm still trying to play with the colors to get them "right". I ended up with an "A" panel, meaning it's an AU Optronics instead of the "S" panel, which is a...

    Do you reveal your wage to your co-workers?

    At my current job, I was recruited as part of a "class", meaning about 12 of us were hired for essentially the same position. We all started off at the same salary with the same sign on bonus, which I was able to confirm after discussing it with several other class members. All of us were...

    The Unofficial ASUS P5N-E SLI 650i Board Thread

    Just wanted to check in now that I've got my DS3 in. It does appear this E6600 is just a poor performer, as I still can't break 3 GHz. On the up side, this board is much more stable than the P5N-E, at least for me, and allows me to get 4-4-4-15 timings with my memory, which I could never do on...

    *** Official Gigabyte P965-DS3 Thread ***

    Quick question. I did a search and didn't find anything here. Is there any way to set memory command rate on this board? I just got it today and don't see any related setting in MIT even after ctrl-f1. Coming from a 650i board, I figured it would be easy to figure out.

    The Unofficial ASUS P5N-E SLI 650i Board Thread

    I'm trying out the Gigabyte DS3 Rev 3.3 P965 board. That seems to be the current best alternative in the same price range.

    The Unofficial ASUS P5N-E SLI 650i Board Thread

    Haven't really been messing with things recently. I basically just went back down to stock for the time being. Just ordered a Rev 3.3 DS3 from ClubIT a few days ago to see if a different MB changes things as I really don't think this board likes my memory much.

    The Unofficial ASUS P5N-E SLI 650i Board Thread

    nitrotg, have you tried just using one stick of ram at a time to see if that affects anything?
