One big thing you guys are forgetting is that if there is no LAN play for skirmishes, if battle.net goes down you are screwed and stuck with single-player only. And when I say battle.net goes down, I mean goes offline forever. Don't think it is a real concern, then you have no valid...

I picked up a 730a board myself, but as a backup for my server that has a Foxconn Destroyer 780a motherboard in it... I have a few RAID arrays and I want to be sure i can get at the data if I have a board failure... the 730a deal was PERFECT for that... Sucks tho with the 90-day warranty, as...

Well, this is as close to the magical "deal" I was looking for, so I had to bite and bought 2 GTX480s... Sure there is BCB and rebates involved, but I just couldn't see Dell screwing up again and offering them for $350 each anytime soon... And if that DOES happen, I will just have to snag...

I got my code already and my Xbox360 will be here tomorrow... For once, all worked out as it should... Amazing!

For me this is perfect, as I have an original 2006 vintage 360 that I have had to 'repair' at least 5 or 6 times (opened it and did it myself, it is the GPU having issues), and I am sick of dealing with it... This way I take hte hard drive off that unit, put it on the new one and use a HDMI...

Thanks for the clarification!

Ok, bought it yesterday with the Paypal thing, but I got charged the full $83.24 and there is no mention anywhere of $15 cash back on my final invoice and nothing in paypal, so WTF??? I know for fact before I finished the transaction it mentioned the end price would be $68.24... Is it...

Stay away from the really cheap ones as hey have no ability to support any real loads... Blew out one channel of a Thermaltake 4-fan controller on the first day... Going to be ordering the 6-channel version of the one posted above... Gillbot, you hangout on the f-body sites? Nice car, I...

TJM, just saw the thread, good job on the case... I have a CM 830 myself and planned on doing exactly what you posted originally for your layout. I may have missed it in there thread here, but do you care to share why you went with teh routing you did over your original idea? For me, my...

Isn't that the whole 8800GT vs 8800GTX argument all over again??? Honestly, for those that want a single card best-of-class it is a great deal... I mean hell, I bought a lab/sales sample GTX280 for $299 that was a hell of a deal. I didn't even consider a GTX260 because in the grand scheme...

Well, I ordered a GTX 280 for $299... I am located in WI just north of Chicago, where Citrus Micro is located, so shipping Fedex Home was like $11.xx... Now to see if they ship it tomorrow and I get it saturday... I'll post back the end results... Almost picked up the 3870x2 1gb for...

Again another CMI-8738 chip card... Comparable to the ECS one posted for $29.00

Actually, I have had GREAT success with a brand new Celeron II 800... Malay chip, clocks to 1120MHz(140fsb) at default voltage rock stable and to 1200MHz(150fsb) at 1.8 volts... The motherboard I have this running in (AOpen AX34) does nothave anything above 150, otherwise I would run it...
