Indeed we do ;). Noctua is also releasing a NH-U12F Extreme (sometime soon, they've had it since June '06), with an extra 2 heatpipes (much like the Ultra 120 Extreme) which should compete quite nicely with the Ultra 120/Tuniq Tower (perhaps not the Ultra 120 Extreme, the NH-U12F is a few...

TFT Central seem to think it's an MVA panel. I would've picked it as a TN though...

Hmm, i remember reading a review on the ASUS P5N-E SLI (nForce 650i) where they ran 2 8800GTX's in SLI (both running 8x PCIe) and had a 0% performance loss (compared to 8800GTX SLI on the 680i). So in short (if this review is to be believed), no....you shouldn't see any performance loss using...

Yep, unless i'm mistaken, both the E6300 and E6400 are Conroes with up to half the L2 cache failed. These new E4X00s are the 'real' Allendales, much cheaper for Intel to produce and thus (best of all) cheaper for us. Hopefully we'll see some good overclocking results (i'm also interested in...

There are some reviews for the Noctua NH-U coolers over at the ninDEALS forums. If you'd prefer, here's the links to the reviews... X-bit Labs; FrostyTech; Gruntville; OCIA; NeoSeeker; BigBruin; Virtual Hideout; Driver Heaven; PCApex; CPU3D; 3DGameMan; ReviewDesk; Pro-Clockers...

The best air cooler, if there's such a thing, would have to be the Tuniq Tower 120; performance wise, i know of nothing better. There's also the Thermalright Ultra-120, Noctua NH-U12F, Scythe Ninja/Infinity/Mine, Zalman 9500/9700, Thermaltake Big Typhoon and Arctic Cooling Freezer 7 Pro. Check...

Try using either Intel Thermal Analysis Tool or Core Temp. They're the programs most people are (or at least should) be using. Then mention the temps you've seen with one of them (they should both give the same temperature, so it doesn't matter which one you use), people will be able to tell you...

It can't be 1280x1024, 19" and have a .264 pixel pitch at the same time; i'm guessing it's a misprint (that 6 is supposed to be a 9).

If you're considering overclocking, i'd have to say the 7900GS is the better buy, being $50 cheaper. If you're not considering overclocking (or only light overclocking), however, the x1950Pro is the better buy (the 7900GS at stock isn't enough of an upgrade over a 7800GT to be worth it, really)...

So you're on a 400Mhz FSB, and you want to run your RAM at 333Mhz (667Mhz DDR)? Unless something has changed, such is impossible and undesirable. With a Core 2 Duo, you want memory running 1:1 with the FSB (or higher), but they cannot be run on lower dividers (like the 939 A64s). If your RAM...

Do you have to buy the video card from this specific place? I got my Palit 7900GS delivered (next day delivery) for $300AU, and that was before the small ($20-$40) price cut. They can be had for as low as $256AU, or $259AU for the Palit (same place i ordered from). If you can't (or would...

What's the Silverstone ST50EF-Plus going for at Newegg these days? When it comes to finding out how much amperage a PSU has on the 12V rails, don't bother looking at the amperage on each rail; there's no magic formula for finding their combined output. Generally, your best bet is to click on...

Most Coolermaster PSUs are decent (some are rather good), but there's often better choices in the same price range. I can't say much more than that, as i haven't used a CM PSU myself. OCing is Overclocking, and the specs for a PSU depend on the system it's being used in; if you list the PC...

A quick TFT Central search turned up "ViewSonic VX2035WM 5ms 20"WS TN Film". If that's anything to go by, not likely to be as good as the VX2025WM, but ought to be a fair bit cheaper.

Nope, the ST50EF-Plus is the same as the Enhance, the ST50EF (non-plus) is a different PSU all together. That, and the Silverstone has sleeved cables (mostly), which is worth a little more to some.
