    Thanks, Saku. I went with the KO. I don't plan on OC'ing, so we'll see how it goes!

    Acer Aspire Desktop PC $349 on Web, $289 in Store w/ Monitor

    A bit off topic, but since it has been mentioned on here, what is the difference between the evga 7600GT KO and the evga 7600GT CO? ... is it just that the KO is overclocked? http://www.tigerdirect.com/applications...tails.asp?EdpNo=2207285&Tab=0&NoMapp=0 versus...

    Acer Aspire Desktop PC $349 on Web, $289 in Store w/ Monitor

    Just wanted to post a big thanks to the OP and others on here. I picked up the 17"LCD package yesterday. If anyone is looking, there seem to be plenty in NoVA. I decided to get this PC to upgrade mine P4 2.53 on P4PE, and give my old one to my son. I know it is not a huge step up, but this PC...

    $9.24/yr hosting @ dreamhost

    You get charged 9.24 for the entire 'first' year. After that year, it automatically swaps to a yearly fee of $119.40. However, you can go into your control panel and turn off the auto-rebill settings in the system. You should then receive notification of a bill being due.

    Antec Performance Plus 1080AMG problem

    I didn't even think to do that John. Would have been a possibility if CompUSA didn't track down the receipt information for me. They sent me a copy of the receipt, and I was finally able to get Antec to forward me an RMA number - after quite a bit of bitching at them. I sold the returned...

    Antec Performance Plus 1080AMG problem

    Looks like CompUSA is going to be able to track down a copy of my receipt and send it my way, so I should be all set. Thanks for the input anyway.

    Antec Performance Plus 1080AMG problem

    It's the fans and the fan controllers (PSU controls the speed of case fans depending on temp). The only option I see is to exchange the PSU, and I have to have a scan/image of a purchase invoice/receipt to do so. Just hoping to find someone kind enough. If this effort fails, I'll just buy...

    Antec Performance Plus 1080AMG problem

    I figured it was worth a shot seeing as the PSU is quite popular. Of course, if I have no luck, I'll get to shopping.

    Antec Performance Plus 1080AMG problem

    It was purchased with a debit card so tracking the proof from two years ago with the bank is work of itself. I spoke to Antec's tech support and they are the ones who told me to fax the RMA request form without the invoice, but when I did, it was rejected due to no invoice information.

    Antec Performance Plus 1080AMG problem

    I purchased an Antec Performance Plus 1080AMG case from CompUSA in October of 2002. This case includes an Antec TruePower 430 power supply. Unfortunately, the power supply's fans and fan controllers just died on me, and I need to arrange to return of the power supply to Antec for...

    120GB 7200RPM HDD @ BestBuy for ONLY $99.

    I'm still lost as to how and where the information about P6Y3 being 8MB buffer came from. The link above only states the drive is: 'Maxtor "Ultra Series" fluid-bearing DiamondMax Plus 9 harddrives' which the box already indicates. But the box also states the drive is 2MB buffer. Who said 8...

    120GB 7200RPM HDD @ BestBuy for ONLY $99.

    Alright. I hit this deal and got the BB 120Gb Maxtor. The tag says: Maxtor DiamondMax Plus Buffer Size: 2 MB *blah blah blah* KIT: L01J120 P6Y3 Now the KIT for the 8MB version of this drive is L01P120. Where did the information regarding the P6Y3 being 8MB come from? Especially since this box...
