    Ceton INFINITV4 $282 + S/H

    Huge price drop on the Ceton INFINITV4 (was $400) eBay link removed great deal for someone that currently rents cable boxes. No links to eBay allowed. It doesn't matter if it's an auction or a buy-it-now item esquared Anandtech Forum Director

    LGA 1155 ITX Motherboards

    Board is designed by Intel, manufactured by Foxconn. The Intel 65W spec is for ITX systems, but the board itself is 100% able to support 95W sandy bridge CPUs. Intel's boards are typically the most power efficient because they are designed to be. The DH67CF is not designed to be...

    LGA 1155 ITX Motherboards

    The intel board is actually really nice (in terms of efficiency). Since you can't overclock it, might as well save some $ on electric. 14.1 watts @ idle with i3-2100T (http://www.missingremote.com/review/intel-core-i3-2100t-and-bh67cf-mini-itx-motherboard)

    Asrock h67m-itx... go for it?

    I would recommend you go with the DH67CF from Intel. If you are going to use it for a HTPC, the Intel board has a standard CIR header port, which is a nice bonus. The main difference is the power consumption of the DH67CF...

    Brazos Testing Requests

    It would be nice if you compared it to the Acer AS1830T-3505 (i3-330UM). At ~$450-500 it's about the same price point, same size screen, similar specs, etc. Why wouldn't you compare these?

    Intel G2 2x80GB RAID 0 or 1x G2 160GB

    oh that sucks yeah definitely another reason not to go raid (yet) I like the expandability, personally. by the time I fill up my 80gb, a 2nd 80gb will be much cheaper and intel will hopefully have trim and raid play nice together

    Intel G2 2x80GB RAID 0 or 1x G2 160GB

    you don't run the intel SSD toolbox cleaner? That works great for me, always restores performance to original speed.

    Intel G2 2x80GB RAID 0 or 1x G2 160GB

    I've installed 80GB G2 in raid0 and just 80GB stand alone... on paper, it may seem much faster, but real world doesn't make a HUGE difference - you probably wouldn't even notice unless you are doing very data-intense stuff like photoshop, etc. Gaming, 1ssd will be great. What I would do is go...

    Western Digital SiliconEdge Blue JMICRON drive now available at newegg for MEGA $$$

    Not sure why anyone would buy this... Western Digital needs to look at reality. They would have been better off just using the proven indilinx barefoot controller. http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16820250001 $249 for 64GB http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16820250002...

    Quietest, modular PSU

    definitely agree, corsair (seasonic) with ADDA fans are pretty good.

    Crucial Ballistix Tracer DDR2-800 (PC2-6400)

    what do you mean handpicked? Crucial doesnt handpick these. A machine bins them to 1.8ns. A machine picks the best of the best lol. Cheex, to answer your questions- 1) Many would actually prefer the D9DQW, it is known as "fatbody". It is the older rev D9 that came before D9GMH...

    CONROE performance a LIE???

    im still confused how people can say that it is up in the air which one is faster. There are 100's of benchmarks already by guys like you and me to confirm this. Search around on the net for a while. You will find them everywhere.

    CONROE performance a LIE???

    Anything and everything I am saying has nothing to do with what anand said about conroe a long time ago. That article was worthless. I dont understand why you guys are debating an article that is just a grain of rice in a big pot. The CPU doesnt shine until it is overclocked anyway.

    CONROE performance a LIE???

    There are already 100's of retail benchmarks using intel 975xbx retail board. Ignorance is bliss.

    CONROE performance a LIE???

    I recommend an E6600 You will be able to overclock it between 3-4 ghz. It is the amd athlon 64 x2 4400/opteron 165 of intel cheapest model with 4mb of cache, and overclocks VERY well.
