Thanks for all the input! I'll look into the fan option first since it seems most economical.

The fan on my XFX Radeon 4890 died and I didn't keep my receipt so I'm not able to RMA. Aftermarket fans are pretty scarce but can be had for around $50-60. There is currently a deal for the Sapphire 7770 for $75 after MIR which I am tempted to get since it's just a little more than the price of...

Fisher price lullabies as I'm burping my two-week old newborn'

Have you tried a different driver for the video card? Either newer or older? Maybe try IE and see if you have the same problem?

Thanks for the explanation!

I've been trying to use my DSLR more often now and I'm having a bit of trouble understanding the shutter speed notation in the viewfinder/LCD. From what I've read, my understanding is as follows: 500 in the viewfinder/on the LCD = 1/500 second 3" in the viewfinder/on the LCD = 3 seconds...

The way you put it makes it seem it's not that hard to make! I might actually go that route. Thanks for the suggestion!

Has anyone had this made before from their own pictures? Any recommendations on where to get it from? There are a bunch of people who do it from a Google search but I would rather have a recommendation from someone who has had it done before. I found a video on how to do it myself but I don't...

Xeon W3580 12GB RAM 160GB SSD HD Possibly WD 640GB Caviar Blue XFX Radeon HD4890 1GB I'm trying to decide between the Antec Earthwatts EA650 and the XFX 650X Any recommendations for one of these or another PSU? TIA!

Thanks to all for the input. The workstation is running a Hipot power supply so my guess is it is not a high quality one. I've seen some posts that the Dells are using standard ATX power supplies now so I should be able to switch it out with a higher quality one. Can this be confirmed?

The Radeon HD4890 requires two PCI-Express 6-pin connectors. The 525W power supply in the Precision T3500 only appears to have one PCI-Express 6-pin connector. The video card came with a Y-cable that has 2 4-pin molex connectors on one end and a 6-pin PCI-Express connector on the other end...

I'm looking to get a new video card for my HTPC that is running with an Antec Earthwatts 380w. Unfortunately the DVI interface on my 52" LCD doesn't go up to 1080p so I'm looking to connect the PC to it through HDMI. I haven't been in the loop on the new video cards so I was hoping you guys...

After reading that people had to shave the Thermaltake brackets, I just looked around for the cheapest Xigmatek bracket I could fine. Turns out I can get it from ChiefValue for $9.98 shipped, which is not too much more expensive than the Thermaltake and no trouble involved :) XIGMATEK...

Thanks. Was waiting for the price on this to come down so I could get another 4GB.

Damn it! I just picked it up yesterday from Newegg for $31. I forgot eWiz had this deal going on.
