    I'm leaving the forums, here's why.

    1. Too many misinformed idiots 2. Too much "um r u rite?!??!?1!! hurrr lollercoaster" 3. Not enough people who actually know technical information, this board in essence, is a forum for idiots and a couple informed people who are too nice. In short, i'm sick of this place. I'm off to the...

    Thermaltake Symphony A Monster?

    I love how so many people are being irrational about this product's cooling capabilities just because of it's name. TT makes the Big Typhoon, one of the best coolers out today, along with a line of cases with great cooling (SVIKING, 2x120mm stock+integrated fan controller for only $70). I'm not...

    How much better will this be?

    don't buy a new graphics card, just drop the geforce 2 into the new box to save money.the new machine should be significantly faster... the old p4's (willamettes) were pretty damn slow. If you insist on spending the money, drop in a gig of ram.

    Is a 11 CFM 120 mm fan useless?

    I really doubt that your computer filters have much to do with this, but believe what you want. My filters pick up a decent amount of junk, but not enough to justify saying that my air feels cleaner.

    power supply air flow... not so hot

    So I picked up this Super Flower TT-450SS, it has a fan grill in the back with a single 14 (that's right folks, 14) cm fan mounted on the bottom. On turbo mode the fan pushes ~1500rpms but doesn't seem to eject much air out of my case. Have any of you single large fan psu owners noticed this as...

    Logitech Z-2300 Speakers and Sound Blaster Live - How much quality is my card costing me?

    z-2300's are mediocre speakers, as are most small satellite+subwoofer combos. Until you upgrade till something significantly better, I wouldn't recommend dropping money on a decent soundcard. I'd suggest something cheap by EMU or M-Audio
