Well, I already bought it, so it's a moot point. I haven't seen any cheaper Ultras than the one I got for 347 (no shipping), except for the visiontek. I just don't like visiontek, maybe it's becaus ethey do so many oems. Its psycological more than anything i guess. As far as the Ultra is...

$75 more for a retail Ultra rather than an oem Pro? Actually, I'm not rich, but I sold my current micron XP to my dad for his office (I bought it two months ago), and I don't need to tell you that you can build a super system for the money it costs to buy one, so I decided to go all out (well...

I'd go the monitor route first. they don't depreciate in value like video cards, so from an economic standpoint you'll be better off. The voodoo3 should be fine on a 19" monitor for the time being, and from all accouts the Samsung 900nf is a great monitor. I'm decided to go all out on a...

They offer free fed ex saver on some products. Great company by the way... just bought a retail Elsa Gladiac Ultra from them for $347 (no shipping)!

The only reason I said it might be better to get a new HSF is that you said you've already bought three boards. Even if your returning these, I'm sure its got to be costing you something in shipping. You didn't say what boards you've tried, but I can definitely say that the latest Iwills won't...

and with manners like that, I'm sure you'll get tons of help. Enjoy your orb

don't forget Iwill ;) I agree with the previous poster though, why choose your mobo around your HSF, when the ORb (IMHO) is really not that great a HSF to start with

Yeah, but like I said, I really don't think that will be a factor because most of the Gladiac's I've seen are $100 more, so this price most likely already reflects the price drop

Hey all, at long last my Prophet2 GTS Pro oem arrived from newegg, and what did I do? I called up and got an RMA, and ordered the Elsa Gladiac Ultra for $75 more ($347). I was thinking that for an xtra $75, it will be a better investment for the new monitor I bought (Iiyama i90A), plus I...

There is no substitute for good RAM, especially when only a few bucks is the difference (in the scheme of $1000+ systems). Mushkin and Crucial are the only two places I buy RAM, and usually I go with crucial, just becaus of the good experiences I'v had with them (I haven't had any bad...

The UPS I have a work is whisper quiet, though I don't think I've ever had the need to use it. I forget the type, but I'll let you know tommorrow (I played hooky today)
