    Why Not The Antec NSK6500 Case?

    It comes with a 430-watt power supply and the normal goodies, like front ports and lots of bays. And it's available from Amazon for about $100, shipped free. But I can't find any reviews on it. Has anyone used it, or can anyone offer any insight about it? Thakns.

    badcaps.net ok?

    I have an ABIT KT7A motherboard that won't boot properly (gets a registery error) unless I let it sit first to warm-up in the BIOS menu. This is a "bad cap" motherboard, so I should have that fixed, and that may well fix this boot problem, too. Is badcaps.net a good place to have this repair...

    DVD RW NEC ND-3520A Won't Read Some CD's

    I have this DVD RW drive but it won't read some CD's. I'm talking about retail produce CD's, namely the GoBack 4.0 and Planetside Core Combat CD's. Other CD's it has read just fine, such as Battlefield Vietname Redux. Has anyone else seen this problem, or did I just get a bad one? Thanks.

    Is there a reference somewhere that gives an idea of how much processor is about right for a video card? I know this can vary depending on the RAM and such, so I would expect it to be an approximation. Thanks.

    DVD Burner Software Packages

    Sony comes with Nero. Plextor comes with Roxio. NEC comes with...nothing? Correct me if I'm wrong. Which is best? Are they all about the same?

    The difference seems to be that the A verison uses the Fan Mate 1 and the B version uses the Fan Mate 2. But what's that all about? Is one version discontinued? Thanks.

    Registery Error On Boot

    I am using Windows 98SE, ABIT KT7A motherboard, and Athlon 1800+ processor. The system ran fine for years, but lately I get this problem. If the computer is physically cold, meaning when I turn it on first thing in the morning, then it boots to the desktop and I get an error from windows...
