    antec 300 illusion

    Fyi, my gtx 295 fits so your 260 will definitely fit. It's a little snug, but everything fits fine. If you want I can send you a pic. Edit: oops, just reread the post someone already answered your question

    Do you have an Antec 300 Case ?

    Isn't the top fan a 140mm and the fronts are made for 120's?

    BFG Trade-Up Program: Questions

    I wish I had that quick of an email reply. I wouldn't have paid extra for the 2 day air. I had to because I'm going to Vegas for Superbowl weekend and didn't want my card sitting on my doorstep.

    BFG Trade-Up Program: Questions

    Have you tried going to rma status @ the bfgtech website? You can put in your T******* number in there and it will tell you when they got it. Ups showed mine being delivered there on a Monday(holiday), on the rma status it showed Tuesday received it, so this is probably normal.

    My bad, it said instant right above the price, but if you look down you can see where it's a MIR. I almost bought it, too. Maybe I'll get that ECS 8800gts instead from Newegg. Thanks

    COD 4 vs BF2

    I haven't played BF2 since COD4 came out. I can't say I miss it right now, but BF2 was a lot of fun. I do miss the bigger maps and vehicles....maybe I'll play a round or two today...

    So... CoD 4

    BTW, I haven't bought a game since bf2 and this game plays well on my ancient rig.

    Dell 2005FPW for $434 before shipping and tax

    I was looking at getting the gateway FPD2185W widescreen, but this one would be much cheaper($439.45 shipped to my door vs. $633.59 pick up at BB including tax). The Gateway has more features, but with the discount, the price difference is huge. Might have to get this one.

    I ordered mine on the 16th and received mine yesterday. FYI it was the ZS value. I hate buying from buy.com, but this was too good of a deal. It is almost impossible to get any customer service at all from them. edit:correction, it was Monday(15th) night when I ordered.

    Leadtek 6800gt heatsink

    gac009 Just remove the heatsink, it's just screwed on. Clean off the memory and gpu with rubbing alcohol and apply the paste. I usually put a dab on and use a plastic bag over my finger to spread it evenly and reassemble everything. otispunkmeyer Yea, it's definitely not pretty, but...

    Leadtek 6800gt heatsink

    I was bored one day and took mine off, reset the heatsink with as5 and rigged a low speed 92mm panaflo onto it. From what I remember, the idle temps went down about 10 degrees and the load temps even more. It didn't seem to add any noticable noise and let me overclock over 400/1100, although I...

    Leadtek A400 Geforce 6800GT $210 + $1 shipping

    Just to throw my personal experience in...It's in the card not the power supply. I had the same problems with my first a400gt(11/04). New OCZ Powerstream, no change. Rma'd... fixed. For some reason Leadtek had a bunch of bad cards, but if you get a good one it'll they are better than most...

    1GB Performance vs. 2GB Value

    I just went from 2x512mb of OCZ vx4000(11x243, 1.5-2-2) to 2x1gig of Giel Value(12x200, 2.5-3-3). BF2 is much smoother now. It's a better gaming machine now even though it doesn't bench as well as it did, although it still does break 6050 on 3dmark05 at stock.

    6800GT temp. up to 97 while playing games.

    I had the same problem with mine, a Leadtek a400gt. I don't quite remember the temps, but I definitely had the freezing. It happened in games and in benches. I reinstalled the heatsink, left the plastic shroud off and rigged a low speed 92mm panaflow on it. No more stuttering. Probably can't do...
