    Warm? Hot? ATi Radeon X850 Pro = $225.00 OTD @ BB

    http://www.techpowerup.com/articles/overclocking/vidcard/100 I did have one blue screen later the next day. I'm going to play around with the setup and see what speed I get from the default bios and the higher clock speeds. ATI Tool didn't see problems even with higher than the tweaked bios...

    They spoke at QuakeCon and mentioned when - I don't recall if they had a more exact date than the month. It was during the HardOCP portion so not sure if they are still hosting the show.

    Nice Prices on Newegg SATA HDD's

    Benchmark "Pure performance wise the Raptor still wins hands down with its faster spindle speed and faster access times. If you don't have support for NCQ - or are willing to live with the limited sizes the Raptor comes in - stick with the Raptor. If, however, you do have support for NCQ, and...

    50 1x GQ DVD-R for $10 at fry's

    FWIW - The Great Quality 8x DVD-R are Matrix and work great for me. I didn't really like the GC 4x DVD-R media as far as burn quality however I haven't had any problems with it. If you don't use Herrie firmware with NEC then your wasting your time.

    Kingston valuram 512 mg pc2700 $55 AR at BB

    Yeah Corsair actually uses it. Memory chips known as ?Hynix 43? are located under the heat-spreaders. The most curious fact about those chips is their not being DDR500 chips, according to the manufacturer?s specs. ?Hynix 43? are those Hynix DDR400 chips that show excellent overclockability...

    Crucial DDR2 - prices not hot yet though

    I don't think anyone will see a gain till Intel hits 1200 FSB and above. Till then stick with Dual Channel 3200 with CAS 2.

    Micro Advantage & Cendyne 4x DVD+/- DVD Burners $49 @ OM

    "Are these $49 each out the door?" Yes "If so, which is the best one to get?" I'd get the Cedyne. On the back it will say the model number. The 1300 is like $89 at Newegg. I also picked up the Lite-On LDW-411S on clearance at Office Depot for $59.

    Micro Advantage & Cendyne 4x DVD+/- DVD Burners $49 @ OM

    Cedyne is an NEC. The store had 4 and 3 were 1300s and one was a 1100 so I left them with the 1100 and took the other 3. Awesome deal - Thanks!
