    Opteron Blowout!!!...Dang it just got chilly in here!

    265's are if you're gonna have two CPUs, while most of us just have one CPU. If you only have one CPU you can just get a 1XX Opteron.

    refurb Radeon X800 XL AGP or new Radeon X850 Pro AGP = $119

    Although since the card has a molex input, you are "recommended" by ATI to plug your PSU into it.

    refurb Radeon X800 XL AGP or new Radeon X850 Pro AGP = $119

    I upgraded from a 9800 non-pro to the X800XL and my framerates doubled for Dungeons & Dragons Online, plus I'm able to run at higher quality settings. Your PSU should be fine as long as you're not running a lot of drives in your PC.

    refurb Radeon X800 XL AGP or new Radeon X850 Pro AGP = $119

    I picked up the X800XL, runs great. Warning, it is a HUGE card!! It is 1 inch shorter than my NF7. Just barely fit.

    Budget AGP upgrade. EVGA 6800 AGP 128M for $213 - $150 MIR

    Yeah, a 5200 is pretty slow. Any 6800 card ~$100 would be a great boost for you.

    Arctic VGA Silencer Rev 3 $13.95 + shipping

    I also have one & can recommend it highly. Even on "high" I can barely hear it, & it keeps the card nice & cool. It won't cool the ram, though -- you'll want to buy some lower-profile BGA ram heatsinks for that. I'd recommend copper heatsinks for ram. Make sure you don't have any big capacitors...

    SVC.com Coolermaster case deal.

    The Cavalier 3 silver & black cases are now under $50. http://www.svc.com/cav-t03-ww-19.html http://www.svc.com/cav-t03-wwk-19.html Not the aluminum bezel ones, tho.

    ATI Silencer 4 $20.95 + shipping

    Yes, it replaces the existing fan. It also takes up an additional slot next to the VGA card. But, it' cools down the vga card a lot, and it's pretty silent. SVC also sells it for a similar price, I think.

    Logitech MX500 or MX510? Which deal?

    I have the 510, it fits my hand better than the MX700 did. I'm assuming that the 510 is shaped differently from the 500, and the 1000 is different from either. So you should probably also drop by best buy or something & see which one feels better in your hand. BTW I also luv my 510. I...

    Newegg: 17'' LCD $282 shipped! NO rebates!

    Well, I have this LCD at work, using it right now. 16ms might be a bit of a stretch, probably not the best for some gamers, but fine for office work & casual gaming. It is VERY bright, good screen. No dead pixels for me. Note that newegg's dead pixel policy isn't very good. Also, it's...

    So, is there a way to have AVG scan email without sticking an advertisement into it? I have & like AVG, but IMO I prefer my AV solution to not stick crap into the emails it scans. Then again, AVG is free... :)

    how long should my laptop battery last?

    That's pretty fast. You should get from 100% down to 20% in at least 1.5hrs. Supposedly the seller has a 90 day replacement warranty that they should offer. If they blow you off, contact PayPal (assuming you paid via them)...they should be able to yank back your money if the seller sold you a...

    My horrible experience with ZipZoomFly

    IMO the #1 rule of online purchases is "never ever use a debit card." zipzoomfly is formerly googlegear. Anyhow, you should call back, stay calm, & say you're sorry you got upset, but you have a lot of bills to pay & you're worried about how you can pay them since ZZF has $1800 of your money...

    For all people with allergy! Hamilton Beach TrueAir HEPA Air Purifier 04162(04160) at $99.99($84.99) Amazon.com Free SH

    FYI, I ordered the Hamilton Beach 350 10 days ago & got it last week. So I was surprised how quickly it came. IMO it sounds almost exactly like a box fan. Nice white noise. The purifier, on medium speed, sounds like our old box fan on low. On "Whisper Quiet" mode the purifier is audible, but...

    For all people with allergy! Hamilton Beach TrueAir HEPA Air Purifier 04162(04160) at $99.99($84.99) Amazon.com Free SH

    I have the sharper image ionic breeze and it is silent, good-looking, small, and easy to clean. However, it has very little cleaning power compared to normal air purifiers. That is the tradeoff. Also, burning candles makes it dirty fast (it catches the soot) -- they recommend cleaning it...

    GeForce TI 4600 for $99 at BB YMMV

    If it's 128mb, ti4600 is a great card for $99. Toms Hardware had a 46-card showdown & the ti series had the best bang for the buck.

    HOT HOT HOTTER than HOT - Saks 5th Avenue Sale

    My mother (who overspends) often buys me nicer clothes for xmas than I would buy. Like a $150 sweater instead of the $30 I usually spend. And I can tell the difference...nice feel, good lines, fits really well. Similar to how you can sometimes tell the difference between a cheapo suit & a...
