    5.25" drive bay Power Switches

    I bought a Cosmos S computer case. It looked like exactly what I needed, but when I got it I found out the control panel on the top wouldn't work. I contacted tech support, which informed me that they didn't stock the parts for the case, because it was too new. This was a new excuse for me...

    ATI Video Card Price Fluctuation

    So most of us know the R600's right around the bend. I planned on putting an X1950XT in my computer, but what do you all think? Where do you think the price is headed for this card and... After R600 is out, should I consider the NVidia 8800GTX? If the R600 spanks the 8800 (hypothetically...
