    Low power consumption build

    Thanks for the info, Denithor. I have thought about the BD option, and that deal is a nice find. I know it's simple math to add up these power consumption numbers, but it always helps to get a 2nd opinion :D

    Low power consumption build

    @Blain - cheaper is better, but I'd say I have about $350 to spend But mainly, I'd like to see if I can utilize this case and 350W psu that I already have. If it's not possible, then I can easily shift my for a "proper" build.

    Buzzing noise from X800 XL

    I've had this problem for a while now, and it's rather annoying. The buzzing sound is not from the fan...I bought an Arctic Cooler 5.2 and the buzzing noise is still there. The buzzing varies depending on the program too. It's really bad with ATI Tool's 3d View. It' even worse when I play...

    Or you can burn the wma to a disc using Windows Media Player, then rip it with your choice of program. I recommend using a CDRW if you have lotsa songs.
