Agreed. I've actually begun searching for a passive (fanless) 8600. Just need to decide on the monitor now. *yeps. resolution will be 19x12

Sorry. I have not seen onboard video of decent quality. The new DELL's in our office all use the Intel onboard video and the quality is not good. These are all on 20" LCD, and I'm not sure how much better tonboard would be on a 24." Budget really isn't a concern as I've already indicated...

This machine will be used almost exclusively for Word, a ton of Excel and Powepoint. Am I right in assuming that pretty much any 24" TN panel will give the same level of sharpness? Or should I be avoiding TN altogether? Also, what about LCD's with the glossy screens, does this help 2D and...

Sunbeam wherever rack + 120mm fan. http://www.svc.com/wpr.html If you can slant the 120mm fan somehwat and make some of the air blow out...you would be better of than with a slot cooler. The PC&P BussCool was the only thing that vere worked for me. unfortunately they don't sell that...

Thanks guys! The abit IP35 Pro does seems like a solid board...I think it will be between this and the Intel. BTW. The only reason we were looking at 8Gb was because its very, very cheap now.

Planning on building the most stable board I could possibly build for my brother. He'll be gaming all winter long. :) Anyways, I was thinking of going with the Intel DP35DP. Which is the P35 chipset. No frills on this board, but stability is top priority and he won't be overclocking...

here's what I got ...just for the sake of using up all the funds I had left in PayPal. :D http://www.sidewindercomputers.com/swmcsmccokit.html mem temps went down cosniderably even if my HR-03 is installed above the card (i.e. 120mm fan NOT blowing on chips) The Thermalright sinks feel...

mine was idling at 68-71 as well before I put in an HR-03 Plus. shaved 12C off that. Although I realized now that a lot of that was being caused by poor intake on my case.

We're all getting issued new phones in the office, and the Pearl is one of the options. Does this phone have call blocking? Like if a number regsiters, can I just opt to block it? Thanks for any confirmation. RIM says it does, but not sure if its as easy as how I described (want) it to be.

I have the P5K deluxe, and using the XP-120 with the LGA775 RM bracket. The XP-120 will fit ONLY 1 way on my setup. With the heatpipes facing the exhaust. It will actually snap in the opposit way, but the HS actually rests on top of a capacitor. that can't be good. I don't see why the...

What's the AC solution called? I would have already snagged the HR-03 Plus, but it will be a problematic fit on my P5K-Deluxe. TIA.

Spyder cleared up color on my 'C' couldn't be happier with my monitor. Microsoft has some applet also which lets you fudge arund with the calibration. I was hoping you could load the Colorvision into that.

Brother HL2070-N. Great low cost laser. Cheaper toners that HP. Can be had for ~US$100 when on sale. Look at Provantage and Egg.

Scythe Samurai-Z at Newegg. Got mine for 20$ The fan is 2200RPM. not the quietest. but works well

I have not tried putting the CPU fan on the CHA-1 header. Honestly, I don't think its worth the hassle until they get Q-Fan fixed through software or/and BIOS. Having said that....I'll try it tomorrow as I have to open my case anyways and add another 2Gb of RAM. :D Will post results...
