I'll chime in as well in regards with PCP&C track record. I've got a PC Power & Cooling Silencer 750 that I've had for almost 8 years (purchased July 2008) that I am still using currently, and in total seen two system builds. Wont replace it until it decides to call it quits.

I actually have until the end of today to submit a RMA with Newegg directly, after today it would have to go through Asus RMA.

As most of you know the GTX900 series has been plagued by coil whine/buzz, and unfortunately my card has it, there's no doubt about it. I have until tomorrow to submit a RMA, so I was posting to see what people's experiences were with RMAing there cards that have it. From what I've been reading...

Can't go wrong with Toyota products. To meet your 10 year time frame, my recommendation is a 2004-2005 Lexus IS300.

To the OP, What CPU & GPU are you cooling with the H220 ? With the addition of the GPU you would of needed to add another radiator to accommodate the additional heat generated by the GPU since just the H220 radiator alone wouldn't be sufficient. As far as intake or exhaust, if you want to yield...

I will have to agree 3 hour's sound's kinda high. I'm a Lexus technician and the most we charge to reseed keys is 1.5 hours(more if the ECM has to be replaced) this is if you loose all your keys and the immobilizer has to be completely erased and new key's programmed to the computer at least for...

I do not recommend the IS250 it's a dog when you get on it and that particular engine has allot of problems. The Volvo S60 takes my vote, with TSX as a runner up between all those options.

Well I guess that's what I'll go with get one before they become unavailable to buy.

@LoneNinja- only 5% ? are you sure from the bechmarks I've see its a 15-25% increase in performance( depending on what your using it for of course) @Rezist - That makes no sense, why would the CPU have support for my motherboard but not memory because they dropped support for it ?

Yes my motherboard does support the X6 Thuban chips. Also I'm still using DDR2 memory clocked @ 800mhz (rated to run at 1066 but I cant get it to run at that speed stable) would that effect anything running a X6 chip ? Although I see newegg is out of stock with 1090t's, tigerdirect still has...

Since AMD isn't going to be shipping Phenom II's anymore I was thinking about picking one up before they go out of stock to get another 1-2 years out of this system. Have my 9950BE overclocked from 2.6 to 3.0 on a M3A32 AM2+ MVP MB. Was looking at picking up a Phenom II 970 from newegg for $140...

Hello everyone let me just start off with saying thanks in advance for any input given to me on the dilemma I've reached. I built my current gaming computer in August of 2008, so its going on alittle over 3 years now. I was looking into squeezing some more life out of her before I have to do a...
