    I'm thinking about getting the P180, but I'm not sure how it'll work with my PSU because of the weird positioning. Does anyone have this combo? The mobo is an Asus A8N-SLI Premium. Any suggestions for an alternative? I want something quiet.

    MSI Laptop Quality

    Anyone here have an MSI laptop? I was originally considering getting a Toshiba Tecra S2 or an IBM T42, but now I see that the MSI notebooks are a pretty good price. I figure the quality of the MSI ones isn't as good as IBM, but as long as it's decent and the features are ok I might bite. TIA...

    CPU fan not turning

    So today I had the side off of a rig and noticed that the fan on the CPU wasn't turning (3000+, 939). I was surprised so I touched the heatsink and it felt cool.

    Bad card 5950 Ultra?

    I just bought a Gigabyte 5950 from my friend who said the card worked fine. I put it in but as it has graphical errors right away, even in bios. I'm assuming it's a bad card but wanted to see if anyone had some input. Here's the specs of the system I'm running in: A64 2800+ @ 3000+ MSI K8N...
