    New to find a new PC case...

    Big fan of Antec cases these past years. Very large and sturdy, lots of airflow and room. No removable mobo tray, but I think there overrated anyway. "Blue Fantasy" was built upon the 1000 AMG. Screaming deal for $68 1000 AMG Antec

    Time to Buy:Asus 9800XT

    Im not a fan of ASUS cooling systems, they run hotter then even stock HSF setups. The 5900ultra ran ungoldy hot I decided I woudln't buy it, which is a good thing because later that week, the whole "ATI beats sh1t outa NVIDIA on HL2" came around. I ordered my ATI 9800XT through ATI and Im dying...

    Guess im just not a Halo whore like you are. Half Life whore, yes thats what I am. XBox ports? No. If your kicking the 9800XT down for Halo, be sure to kick the 5900 ultra down for not running Tomb Raider or Half Life 2 worth a damn.

    Thank you Asus for the new ATI Radeon XT's.

    Im not a fan of that cooling system, its near the equivalent of the 5900 one and cooling is horrid with those low speed fas. And the orange PCB is a definite "no no" in my book. I ordered the stanard 9800XT

    cut a hole for a fan

    If not, use a jigsaw, dremel takes to damn long and you can easily screw it up if you loose your concentration.

    Then again, not to many people care about Halo anymore either, and certianly not a year from now. Played and beat it on Xbox. Moving on.

    Question about Antec 1080

    The cables are the same, but the front panel PCB board is not. My 1080 was 1.1, but the 1000AMG ship with USB 2.0 now. I didn't get one and I politely asked over email if I could have one. Antec shipped me one free of charge within a few days! I love those guys! Ask em and the'll send one to...

    Ummm scuze me, but Im running a 4200 here that im really getting tired of due to it will not longer play games decently from my perspective. I only paid $178 and OC'ed to near 4400 speeds, so I saved some cash for a year up until now . The last time I paid full bore for a new card was the...

    My 9800XT is ordered!

    Yep, now Im definently glad I waited that looooooong extra week. From what i've been seeing, I personally feel justified in spending $500 for a video card to round off my new P4 setup. Those of you may greatly disagree or have many reasons why this 9800xt is a joke, a ripoff or simply have more...
