    Anyone read Hotmail on their Android phone?

    Outlook.com app usually works great for email. Very convenient for using aliases as well. I don't use the calendar.

    HAF 932 vs Antec 1200

    The HAF has very quiet, large fans. I actually can't tell my system is on most of the time. No dust filters does suck though.

    HAF front bay plug dilemma

    The case does need more light.....can't see any of my goodies through the case window. I have never used cathode tubes but I may have to.....not much selection for LED-based fans of that size!

    Video Editing Hard Drive Question

    Of my 4 drives, one is strictly for video capture, one to receive/store the processed video, and one for backup. I also backup to an external hard drive (typically disconnected for safety) and backup to DVD-R.

    8800's and Source problems?

    Need Camcorder!

    Unless you want to pay HiDef prices, MiniDV can't be beat. A lot of it comes down to number and size of CCD's when you are talking about quality. I have a Panasonic GS500 and it is excellent.

    opteron 185 benchmarks or FX-60?

    I did some quick benchmarking via a stopwatch and DVD Shrink (w/ deep analysis) dropped several minutes off of a full size DVD. I never benchmark my games so I can't offer any info there.
