Their customer service went into the crapper. I still haven't received my refund on the speakers that never shipped- and I probably never will, even though their system shows that the refund was issued.

Looks like classic RPG game books (like pen/paper/dice Dungeons & Dragons) with a bunch of RPG magazine PDFs thrown in.

Just got back from the Southlake, TX Costco (Dallas/Fort Worth area). All 3 versions were priced at 109.99.

Damn. I'd be all over it if the closest CC wasn't 120 miles away. :(

For those of you who miss: http://forums.anandtech.com/me...id=2132529&STARTPAGE=1 A friend is selling his sealed BFG 8800GT OC for $260 shipped.

They're waiting for all the pre-charged money to mature in a hedge stock, then when Dell's made a huge killing and made their stock broker super rich on just the video card money, they'll spend the leftovers on buying actual cards. :P

Dammit. I guess I'll check back with them again in a few days and see if the ship date gets pushed back any more. Hopefully they're shipping them in batches and not all at once. I can wait for a while- I got in on that Newegg GF6200/Foxconn mobo deal, so at least I won't be without a video...

I never received an email, but I just logged in and went through the whole chat process. My order info still shows the ship date as 12/13, but it's now 12/28 according to the customer service rep. I still got upgraded to next day shipping. Convo follows: 2:05:28 PM System You are...

Well, I started the thread running an Enermax, but now I ordered and installed the TruePower. ;) I have no problem with opening up and playing with a potentiometer inside the power supply- I just need to know which one to adjust, and if it's safe to do so (for my components, not me). I've...

That's what I was thinking... but I unplugged everything in my system, and the voltage dips are still there. The chip can go higher with the Antec power supply, but not by much. Possibly- but this is a brand new Asus P4PE, and I'm running the Corsair XMS 3500 stick on it with lowest timings...

Alrighty everyone... the Antec 420 TruePower finally came in, and I'm still having the same problems. My 12V+ rail runs at about 11.9V at idle, and about the fastest I can make is 2.8G at 1.85V. That's as high as it'll go, and the chip doesn't break 42C at full load. The 12V+ rail stays at...

mem, amdskip- thanks. I just ordered a Antec TruePower 430W... that was the 'sweet spot' for price at Newegg. We'll see how it goes.

I'll hit up the Antec power supplies and see what happens. I bought the older stepping P4- I had to get a chip, and I knew that I wanted to wait a while for the new steppings to become available... so I bought a cheaper/slower P4 for now. The 2.0 will go into my LAN box later when I upgrade to...

Wow. I really have been off the forums for a LONG time. I remember when your avatar was some dude with pink hair. ;) Do you really think 550W is overkill? I've been looking through all the power supply reviews and specs, and I think I'm going to go Antec. They have the Truepower in 480 and...

Ok guys, I've been out of the loop for a while, but I'm no newbie so bear with me. I just rebuilt my system from scratch, and used my old Enermax 431W power supply. Here are the system specs: P4 2.0A Asus P4PE 512MB Corsair XMS 3500 DDR (1 stick) Gainward GF4 Ti4200 128MB Adaptec 2940U2W WD...
