    ASUS EN7600GS

    Before I install and start testing this thing, does anyone have feedback on the card or any 7600GS for that matter, How well do they OC and perform in normal games like NFS Carbon, Guild Wars Nightfall, COD2...etc.? Just want some fe edback before I install it and realize that I wasted my money. :D

    What brand of Cases are good for budget novice builders?

    I know that obviously it will handle whatever I throw at it, but the question I was asking is how many years will it last me if it is safe and is running my specific system 24/7?

    Why is the ATX form factor still around?

    This is true. It seems that floppy drives have died off and I also didnt think that I would need one. Oh i regret that. lol. This is exactly how people are treating the issue of changing motherboard form factors. But hopefully, there better be a major change in size in the next five years.

    What brand of Cases are good for budget novice builders?

    Thanks for the heads up. I researched more Raidmax 's and people agree. I also looked at Antec psu's. I was wondering how long will Antec EA500 ATX12V v2.0 500W last me? My system-A64 3200, XFX 6200, 160 gb hdd, very basic but on 24/7 most probably.

    Ultra Carbon Fiber case

    I agree, looking at all ULTRA brand cases, this thing will probably be a piece of crap and turn out to not be real CF at all. I've dealt with ULTRA before, even their expensive cases, and the quality is NOT GOOD!!!

    What brand of Cases are good for budget novice builders?

    my bad, but anyway, I got it down to the X-1 and the Katana. But I also like the way the Sagitta looks. Any suggestions or favorites between these 3? And also, I will be upgrading the psu from either of them, any suggestion for around $70-$80? Help is greatly appreciated.

    would I notice much of a difference between an x2 or opteron dual core vs one of the newer, c2d chips?

    If u are going to upgrade to a Core2 then go with the low ones. They OC nicely and can get you the power that you are looking for and also save you some money rather than buying a midrange or highend C2D.

    Overclocking a P4 1.6GHz socket 478

    I know you are curious but don't OC this thing please. I know about the old cpu's and those things are not good. Not bashing on your system but that mobo and RAM will not handle the OC anyway.

    I'm not familiar with all of these new brands of pc cases but wanted to know how Xion and Raidmax cases are. I'm not asking anyone to compare them to Antec cases or Lian Li of course.
