    Sapphire X1950XT $220 after $30 MIR

    Since I missed out on the last 1950 Pro deal, I was thinking of getting this card now that it has dropped in price, but did anyone else see the last few reviews on Newegg from 1/29-1/30? It just seemed odd that the card went from fairly good reviews to complaints about over heating, not being...

    All of the parts you've selected can be found for much cheaper unless you can't put them together yourself. Except for the P4 and 2 Gig, everything you selected can be had for under $80-100. I'd find a case you like and do it yourself. J~

    Antec Sonata Power Supply dead?

    Yup I called the 24 hour customer service and he said to either Fax or call back in the morning to get the RMA number and that there shouldn't be any problems. I couldn't wait though so I grabbed a Enermax 420 Watt Noise Taker from Fry's and will probably Craig's List the other PSU when I get...

    typical idle temps for an a64 3000+?

    Antec Sonata Power Supply dead?

    I got this Antec Case in Jan. and it has been running smoothly since then. It is only a gaming rig, so doesn't have much hooked up, but I was just playing Joint Ops when the screen went blank and the power lights went out. No noises or anything. Hitting the front and rear power button...

    Philips "Miracle" DVD player 49.99 AR at Good Guys B&M.

    My girlfriend actually got this deal after looking for the player all over town. The Good Guys (Blossom Hill, San Jose, CA) had 8 of the Philips DVP 642 in back with no display models out, she had to ask specifically for it. It rang up at $69.99 and the guy handed her a $20 rebate from Good...

    Amazon Friday Sale (4/23/04)

    Probably so you don't have to bend over or get out of your chair to turn it on/off... these are somewhat soothing after being on your feet along time, but the effect doesn't last long after you turn it off ;-) J~
