It would be optimal to keep my case together someday... would love to mod it, but I have no tools at all and nowhere to work if I did (live in an apartment with no garage). Oh hell. Want to recommend a drill for me? ;)

Epox 8KHA AYHJA 1.33 bird SVC Golden Gate (Gladiator with 27cfm fan) Geforce 2 (generates a little bit of heat) Enermax 350w (FC) and now for the pisser: Enlight 7101 w/1 Sunon 60mm intake I must say that I think the Enlight is killing me. My ambient temps hover near 40-C and my 1.33 runs...

one other thing though is that I have a 45 gig 75GXP HD which could have some problems not-failing with the 686B southbridge of 8K7A.

thanks for info on the RAID and helping put a stop to my little spread of misinfo - noticed this on their site too... probably why so cheap. Oh well, like I said I won't use it. This must also mean then that A7V266 is affected. darn. At this point I might as well toss a coin into the air...

OK, two minutes after posting I of course find the answer :P Seems like 138mhz. is the limit for the KT266 chipset and the on-chip USB. Fudge. So can anyone then tell me why the review sites don't mention this in the reviews of boards like A7V266? This DDR thing is giving me a headache...

Specifically the 8KHA because that's a steal for the price. No 686B, decent performance and overclocking, and onboard RAID (not that I will ever use it). Oh yeah, about that overclocking... I heard that some of these boards won't do over 145mhz. or so FSB without losing USB - this has to be a...

http://www.kmelektronik.de/root/shop4/index.html Search for the a7v266 here. It is listed as costing as much as the A7M266 which is just ridiculous since we all know the 760 chipset costs more to purchase AND implement than KT266. 435 DM converts to $195! Forget this, I might have to go Epox...

So perhaps: http://www.enermax.com.tw/products/pc-main.htm CS-A1QX-02 CS-A1QX-06 Would these cases have a shot at coming with a quiet PSU as well? Are all enermax PSU good with noise? I looked into the Aluminum cases but those are absurdly expensive. I also want something I can take to a...

I'm really outrageously extremely sick of my old 300W power supply's heinous decibel issues. I no longer desire to have a frigid-running sys. making the room sound like an airport most of the time, but to have complete peace. So, what power supply/case combos out there will give me adequate...

Well, my wife bought one on my recommendation and the one we recieved has a more pronounced contrast problem with icons on a black screen background than most monitors I've seen. Lots of white bleed (about an inch and a half to the left or right from the edges, with less of a problem in the...

We all know Plextor makes great SCSI drives, but their latest IDE offering is a small stack of SH!T shaped into a 5 1/4 drive bay space. I've known way too many people who have had to return their drive because it was defective, me included. Mine had an improperly calibrated laser that would...

hey skemlawn, want to try responding to one of my e-mails? I'd like to know what is going on with my CD-R. It's not like I've lost faith but if something's wrong you should just tell me. It wouldn't bother me anymore than total silence... ----- sorry for the off-topic post
