    Ultra X-Connect 500w PSU - $14.99 AR

    interesting, didn't notice this; last year the homepage for these units [ultraproducts.com] gave a complimentary warranty upgrade for three years from one-year, simply for registering. Now the three year is standard while the complimentary extends to LIFETIME.

    Ultra X-Connect 500w PSU - $14.99 AR

    Close friend asked me a short time back to keep an eye open for a 500 for his new rig. As I'd been using the Ultra since December with no problems, recommended he check all these sales of late. He wrote back last week: he had gotten an Antec 500 the day before..... which ceased operation...

    FIC au13 setup question

    When setting up this mb is there supposed to be a 4 pin, square power plug in addition to the 20 pin?? If so, is this plug standard on the newer power supplies. The manual ( page 2-6), such as it is, lists this procedure. Is there an adaptor for this plug--reg. 4-pin to square 4-pin? thanks

    Price Changed $81, MSI KT3 Ultra2 $81.00 Shipped at Newegg!

    Since MSI offers no warranty support to the enduser, what does Newegg offer---except, in my case, go to the manufacturer, who then advise going to the reseller-----Catch 22 ????? At least Compgeeks show clearly the length of warranty for each item.

    AMD Athlon XP1700+ "Thoroughbred" at newegg $60

    Pricewatch shows the XP 1500, 1600, and 1700 oem's priced about the same. Why the different preferences that justify these prices??:confused:
