Interesting information, thanks. I just had a power outage, which while very rare, did happen only a few days ago which has me concerned. To feel safe, I think a UPC is a must. It looks like either Samsung or Intel. If anyone has experience with OWC, please let me know.

Thanks! Getting a hard drive is also getting complicated. :) Any specific recommendations for a Mac Pro? Reliability being the most important thing. Thanks.

Hi.. I read in the Intel 520 review that the SSD does not have low power capacitors so in the event of a power outage data is completely lost. Can someone explain this to me? Which SSDs do have capacitors and which don't? I have a Mac Pro and reliability is more important than speed. Any...

What's wrong with it?

Looking at the XPS 420 system, it seems the price/performance, plus the annoyance of not having to build my own system, may be worth it. Does anyone here have it? What do you think? Also, would it be wise to wait for Penryn? I built this model... The total is 1769: PROCESSOR Intel® Core?2...

I'd like to every once in a while, but it's not a main priority. Games that come out on just the PC, like Crysis, I will be playing.

Thanks for all of your suggestions. Looks like it MIGHT have to be a Dell. I configured this sytem for 1,899. Here are the main details. What do you think? XPS 720 Black Intel® Core?2 Q6600 Quad-Core (8MB L2 cache,2.4GHz,1066FSB) 2GB Corsair Dominator DDR2 SDRAM 800MHz OC'd to...

I've put together, on paper, a system I would like to build. However, I've done this for a long time now and just don't seem to have the time to order the parts, build the computer, transfer, etc. I'd really like to, but it's just not happening. Do I have any alternatives you would suggest...

I went with a more expensive MB since it's harder to replace, than get a better Video Card now, where I can easily upgrade it later. What advantages does the P35 MB have over what I have now?

Thanks for taking the time. I have this system setup to purchase within the next week. I have not purchased anything yet, so feel free to rip into anything you don't like. System total comes to about $1850, including shipping, taxes, etc. On paper, the system sounds like a monster, but if...

I'm particulary concerned with the motherboard and even the RAM. Any suggestions on any of the products would be appreciated. The CPU price is based on the July, 22nd pricing Intel announced. This will, of course, be a gaming system, but overall, I'll be using it more for work. Case: Lian Li...

What's an SFF case?

The reason I'm asking is the video card that comes with it. The 7900GS will be worthless shortly when the DX10 cards come out. The price seems great compared to other gaming notebooks out there. Any experience with this laptop?

I'm purchasing the Inspiron 6400, with the new Merom processor, but wanted to know if the 256MB NVIDIA® GeForce?Go 7300 TurboCache will work with the top of the line Aero feature of Vista. I want to run it at Max. capability.

Gateway, HP, Dell, and Alienware have announced their new Core 2 Duo (Merom) laptops. Any new on Lenovo? My laptop of choice is the T60 as long as they have the new Merom processors.
