What are your thoughts about the Asylum 64MB GeForce4 Ti4200?? It is $80 after rebate which seems like a good deal to me. I do NOT need the absolute top of the line video card as I do not do that much gaming (maybe 10%) but want more than the old matrox 32MB card that I have now. Looking for a very high bang-for-the-buck ratio.

Also, I need a new case and wanted to know what you thought of the Antec SX1040BII w/ 400W PS. It is $80 after rebate which is about $30 more than I wanted to spend on a case but it does have a SmartPower 400W PS and I think that Antec is a good brand. I do NOT need a fancy clear or windowed or colored case that is all tricked out with sub-zero cooling but want something better than a generic sharp-edged finger-cutting bargain basement model. If this is not what you would recommend, then what case is??

Finally, what is the difference between SmartPower and TruePower. Antec seems to have two power supply lines??



Thanks for your input.

dont know about the case but yea, $80 for a ti4200 is good deal. I cant seem to find another card for $80 with that performance level, so yea go for the ti4200, you'll love the image quality and performance improvement from the matrox.
