    There's that great deal at outpost for the $90 mobo and processor combo http://shop2.outpost.com/product/4705559 and I'm not sure if it's worth "upgrading" to the sempron 64 as I'm running my CPU at just about 2Ghz right now with 512kb of cache. I'm also in love with my Abit NF7 (I...

    Great Case Fan - $0.99

    Directron has NMB fans for $0.99. These fans rule. They should be dual ball bearing with a thermistor. I've paid over $7 for these fans before. The cable is only 7" (that's what she said) so you'll need to solder in some extensions but you can't beat this price for a quality fan. Dell...

    Hey gang, I realize that NewEgg is the place to buy from but they are out of this board sometimes and I was at www.computergate.com looking for some cables when I noticed that they had the ECS board for $59.99 + $10 shipping for me. Not a GREAT deal but the same as newegg. They are a pretty...

    AMD Questions and hopefully answers

    Hi all, I'm wondering whether or not to get the KK266 or the KT7A and the only reason that leads me toward the ABIT is the fact that it has a voltage range of 1.1-1.85 volts whereas the Iwill only has 1.5-1.85. Is this an issue? Here's the question. As chipmaker manufacturing technologies...
