    Why is everyone so nuts about the Antec SX830?

    I LOVE this case. Excellent build quality, and I like all the little touches that Antec put on this case, like the slide out 5.25 drives, etc. Coupled with my Enermax PS, and I have a great setup. -BH

    Unlike the token positions Dems hand out to minorities, Bush is actually putting qualified minorities in positions of power. SOS for Powell is the most prestigious cabinet position, and if Cheney were to die in office, Powell would become VP. Rice is also a highly qualified candidate. This...
