    ATI X850XT w/ 2 DVI - incompatible with Samsung 19" ?!

    4 3D Modelling + some games - ATI Fire GL 9600 vs. Gigabyte 6600

    these are both AGP boards, I think. PC Club has the Gigabyte on sale. I like the way the heat sink looks. I have a feeling it's a good video card, a step or 2 faster than my MSI 5600 & 5200 VTD cards. http://pcclub.com/product_detail.cfm?itemno=A9630835# also, a 3D authoring tool I'm...

    The Exploding Shuttle Power Supply Article

    I dug it up. I'd really like to find out more about this. Can I avoid this problem by using a 3.0 instead of a 3.2 GHz P4, an MSI FX5200 instead of an FX5600, etc. ? http://www.2cpu.com/hardware/sff/SB75G2/conclusion.html "Power supply quality? I've had two XPC power supplies die out of...

    Shuttle Power Supplies Blowing Up ???

    One review website commented about 2 of 3 supplies blowing up, on their SFF systems. I knew I'd blow up if it blow up. I ended up getting the ASUS P4C800E, which doesn't entirely solve the problem, because I still want another Shuttle SFF. Assuming I don't load the thing up, maybe use a P4...
