    Antec Neopower 480W for 59.90 *OOS*

    Yeah, I looked at the NEO last year when FRY's had them on sale but there are none located near me. Instead, I picked up the SEASONIC S12-430 as well. I like the quietness and high efficiency....from silentpcreview.com But comparing the two....the Neo looks very good! +5V 12V1 12V2...

    Arctic Silver 5 Guide

    I think the main thing is not to use too much or too little for your given application. A half grain of rice size is enough for most apps. I really don't think it makes a big difference to spread it or use the "plop, drop, and twist" method. Have done both and cooling seems the same and the...

    19" Nec lcd $30 AR HOT HOT HOT HOT

    You are right Mikeford... Over at Hardforums it was a Office Depot employee that posted this deal after he got off work and picked the last one up for himself. I would think that these type deals are more internal and start that way. The average joe would be lucky to get one because anyone...

    HOT? 19" Xerox Widescreen LCD Monitor 299.99 @ OD

    Good point Tom...that is why I don't think I will be happy with a 19" widescreen...although the price is right, I would have the constant scrolling when viewing web pages. I think I might be able to live with a 20" widescreen? it has just a tad more hieght.

    BBA x850XT $200 After 50 Rebate!!! AGP!

    HOT? 19" Xerox Widescreen LCD Monitor 299.99 @ OD

    Looks like this is for real. I sent an email to Xerox and got connected with a rep from Proview Technology, Inc. He stated that this monitor came about due to Office Depot contacting them about making it. This was a hush hush project and will be in limited supply until later in the spring or so...

    X850XT 256MB AGP for 249.99 AR microcenter.com

    Too bad you guys were not able to get buy them from the store. I picked one up just before closing on SAT from the Troy, MI store at the $239 price. I called just before I went there and at that time they had 40 of them in stock. The sad part is after all that, I was not able to keep...

    COOLER MASTER CAVALIER 3 CAV Mid Tower Case

    I have this case and it's a very good case for the price. I compared it to several cases face-to-face and I must say that I am happy that I picked it up last year from SVC. The case looks great and has a sturdy aluminum door....Unlike the flimsy plastic door on the Antec Sonata that I looked at.

    Headbanger Earsubs. The best set of headphones you will ever own for $20

    Here is another case of how subjective opinion about audio vary. While I agree that high, midrange, and sometimes midbass sounds can be hard to reproduce accurately in the car, subbass however can be reproduced fairly flat down to below 20Hz in a car with a very modest system compared to a home...

    XP120 vs Big Typhoon vs Zalman 9500 vs XP90C ?

    Well, you sound like the type who should be on water...just do it! I agree that one is no better than the other....however, the Typhoon with the variable fan looks more atractive for the money. And I agree with you about the reviews....However, the Big Typhoon has done well in every test...

    XP120 vs Big Typhoon vs Zalman 9500 vs XP90C ?

    Hey, many of us buy our own parts and are poor :(( wife, two kids, house, cars, rising insurance, rising taxes, rising utilities, etc.) and really don't have a lot of spare cash to spend on water. If you have cash why run air? I would be running water if money were not an issue. You seem to...

    Zalman CNPS9500

    I almost picked up a BIG TYPHOON months ago but wanted to wait and see what the Zalman 9500 would do....Had hoped the Zalman would satisfy my cooling needs so that I would not have to spend big bucks on water. Well, I don't think that it lives up to the price....and money is tight right now...

    Zalman CNPS9500

    I had high hopes for the Zalman, I am sure some better reviews will come out? Nevertheless, the Thermalright products are hard to beat. I also think that the Thermaltake BIG Typhoon or the Thermalright xp-90 are the best buys right now.

    First FULL review of the Zalman CNPS9500 LED!!!

    Why would a guy that has invested in a water-cooling rig go to air? I really don't think that is Zalman's target market? I would guess that they are looking for people that are on the fence deciding if they want to go water. I for one fall into that category....I am looking for some good...

    Seasonic vs Antec

    I guess it depends on your case and MB. I installed an S12-430 with no cable length issues. This power supply has been great, quiet , and more stable compared to the Fortron BlueStorm 400 it replaced.

    ATI AIW X800 XT AGP $339.23 shipped AR

    I agree. Why go with a high tech chip based tuner: http://www.beyond3d.com/reviews/ati/aiwx800xt/index.php?p=03 then send it to the same old Theater 200 chip..... on such an expensive card when it released? I thought about going with dedicated cards? Nevertheless, the X800 XT is still...

    How does vanilla AS5 compare to Ceramique?

    Questions and Answers... Why do people keep bringing up the fact that Ceramique is non-conductive? So is AS5. Why would AS5 get on anything besides the CPU & fan? Applying too much? Why would it be hard to clean a small area like that of a CPU? It's not if you use a good cleaner like...

    XP-90 + Panaflo m1a = Antarctica

    I was really looking at the XP-90 myself ....given the sale price over at SVC but, It seems as if the Artic Cooler Freezer 64 is just as effective and fairly quite? Might get it and compare it the the Zalman 7000 AlCu?

    ATHLON 64 2800+(754) or ATHLON XP 3000+(333fsb)???

    Yeah a 939 would be better....But I am currently running a Duron 1300 and don't have a lot to spend. I found a A64 3000+(754) and a Chaintech VNF3-250 board for $155. With some nice RAM I think this will be a major upgrade for me and will work for now...at least until my funds get better and you...
