    To Partion or Not To Partition

    Why are people recommending 15GB for the OS partition? My Windows XP install right now is only taking up 2.4GB of disk space. I have a 5GB partition for it and it's plenty. Apps/Games, Data, and Swap file each go on a separate partition. What do you guys have on your OS partition that is taking...

    quiet PSU?

    I found another brand which has a 120mm fan, the Coolmax Taurus CX series. It has the additional feature of being able to set the fan speed to constant high, constant low, or auto (thermally controlled). I think I'm gonna order one of these for my next system.

    Isn't there a good all around sound card out there?

    Lar, which one sounds the best playing mp3s/cds? Most of the reviews I've read say they're all the same, but from my experience some cards have "cleaner" output than others. Are they very similar or do you notice differences in music playback? Thanks.

    You shouldnt have a blind spot going in reverse. You're supposed to turn your head around and look over your shoulder. I almost failed my road test because of this... so if you end up going to court or something you may have to amend your story.

    Lite-On 52X32X52 $14.99 AR Circuit City

    I got my $25 today too, still no $30. You can check the status of your $30 at http://www.rebatestatus.com , mine says it is still processing. Has anyone gotten the $30, or advanced beyond the "processing" stage on the website?

    Lite-On 52X32X52 $14.99 AR Circuit City

    Got one yesterday too. The drive is awesome so far. Just make sure you turn on DMA since it didn't turn on automatically for me. Ive never done a circuit city rebate before but hopefully they come through.
