    How did the reviewers get 26C idle??

    Realize motherboards vary in the temperatures that they return. If you have the same exact motherboard, or monitering chipset, than you can compare temps. Temps on different mobo's mean different things. Thats still a pretty good temp though. I don't see how you could get a temp that low...

    Please Recommend a decent DVD-ROM drive

    1 GHz running at 60 C - EDIT: Down to 38 C !

    Cooling and Case gurus please assist

    I'm in the process of making myself a new rig. I need something that runs cool, for one thing I'm getting an AMD and the other, my room is about 80 degrees F most of the time. I really like those lian-li pc60's looks. I'm real tempted to buy it, but I don't know much about Power supplies and...

    Need some hardware solutions/suggestions for a new setup

    I've got a good summer job and some money to burn, time for a complete overhaul. I've had my current rig for a couple years and I'm ready to upgrade. I could really use some suggestions on the whole thing. At work I had to put together a bunch of 1.33 Athlons for a big rack. Needless to say...
