I paid 17.95 for it too... however I'd pay 20 for it no problem. Maybe even 25. And I am broke. Why? Indeed, it has last year's graphics (which, by the way, are still pretty spectacular at 1680x1050 with HDR and AA's) and sure it's just a short episode... But Valve have proven to be...

By the by, which stepping is arguably the best for a 165/170 Opty?

Brilliant. Thank you much, man.

Hey guys, I've been looking to upgrade from my 3000+ Winnie @ 2.5, and I know I want to move to dualies. So, here's me dumb-ass questions. 1) What exactly is the difference between a Opteron and an X2? Is there any difference in core architecture, cache, die, whatnot? 2)I'm a...

I have to agree with the caz.... I have a Lian-Li v1100 and I absolutely love it. I will never buy anything but Lian-LI. True, they are very expensive, but in terms of design, build quality, and aesthetics, they are simply untouchable. I'll reward a company that produces a product that stands...

I haven't seen any reviews of the new Artic Cooling 7800 GTX heatsink... but compared to the Zalman VGA cooler and the Thermalright VGA cooler, which comes out on top? I'm also thinking about making the jump into watercooling... in which case, is there a obvious choice in terms of...

God I love the original post. Hilarious. Get high, Rip. You'd be better off. THought you might want to check this article out... "New study by the American Association for Psychology and Jesus finds that marijuana users develop psychotic rages that usually ends in the murder of hundreds...

You bring up good points... 1) True, no front reset button. Personally, I hadn't thought about this until now. Probably a good thing... if it was a real nusiance to me, I'm sure I would have noticed. Knock on wood. Methinks from now on, however, I will notice, so thanks. 2) the I/O is...

Yeah, good point Dyloot. The new plus models have ducting to the exhaust fan... just what I was talking about 4 posts up. Seriously, if you think it out, this case can stay cool with the best of them. And at 1/3 of the noise level.

Lian-Li v1100 isn't just an alternative... it's better. Antec got their ideas for the internal layout of the P180 from the lian-li v1100. It's so obvious. And in terms of build quality, no one comes within miles of LL. Then again, you'll have to sell a kidney and perhaps a few islands to...

Nice case, but I might venture to say that Antec jacked the design of the Lian-Li v1100 series. Everything cool about the P180 (inverted mobo, thermal partitioning, etc.) is straight out of the Lian-Li. Make no mistake, the p180 is like a porsche... but the Lian-Li is the original Ferrari...

I just edited my post with a link on ducting the zalman... might be worth a read. Best of luck and let me know how it goes.

I have a v1100B and thought I might give my two cents. Forgive me if any of this has been said already. I have a 3000+ winnie @ 2.6ghz, with 1.55 volts so it's not too far of a stretch from your FX. First of all, I think the V1100B is a utterly fantastic case... but it can have problems...

I was going to say, that with my xp-120 I'm idling at 26c and maxing out under Prime 95 at 33c. I have a relatively low cfm fan too... keeps things quiet. Is watercooling really that much better?

This is a retarded question, but how do you flash to new BIOS? What are the steps? I'm an idiot. Sorry.
