Just bought this combo and I'm going to try this one: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.a ... 6835185148. I'll try to remember to let you know how it works out.

Allow me to add to the chorus. You can see I've been signed up for a while, but don't post often. When the other contributors know more than you do, you keep your eyes open and mouth shut. This site has nonetheless been an invaluable resource for me. I wonder if advertisers know how many products ge...

"35C ambient could become taxing over the long term"

Yes, for the humans too.

Has the manufacturer given any updates on availability?

I guess you just read the headline: "How about 23.976 fps playback? Sorry guys, even raking in $11 billion a quarter doesn’t make you perfect. Here’s the sitch, most movie content is stored at 23.976 fps but incorrectly referred to as 24p or 24 fps. That sub-30 fps frame rate is what makes movies lo...

Thanks for the information. These look like very sweet cases. Too bad Sandy Bridge is inadequate for a HTPC.

Let's hope AMD can deliver more than promises.

Are either of these cases available for sale in the USA?

Unless this is unavailable/overpriced on your side of the pond, it will be hard to beat in your price range. Hard to find an IPS this size for less.

Evaluating a SSD on the basis of $/GB is like evaluating a sports car based on $/cubic foot. It seems to make salient the only significant downside of the device, the relative lack of storage space. In reality, the raison d'etre is for both is speed. The type of people who frequent this site also ap...

I'm on a bit of a classical kick these days.

Like most discussions of ABX testing, particularly the ones where it it is reified and turned in to the holy grail of science, a very important point about using science to make statements about the nature of reality is missed. This is the tension between reaching conclusions through naturalistic ob...

I currently have 6 tabs open in FF3 and am downloading a 100MB file through my browser. CPU use varies from 0 to 5 %. This is with an ancient mobile Athlon XP 2400+. Biggest differences I notice from FF2 is increased speed and decreased memory use. As advertised.

I am unable to find this card for sale anywhere in the US. Does anybody know where it is in stock?

"Our sample of one of the original Momentus left us nonplussed. This 5400.2 fares much better."

One Momentus. Two Momenti?

On the M-Audio, the line-in problem has been solved with the latest driver release. This is also CPU intensive for some reason, so be sure to disable "direct monitoring" if the line-in is not in use. Al, that's an incredible price on the Terratec, but this vendor is suspect (http://www.resellerratin...

I run XP Pro with no SP and it recognized my 2 120's striped together as 1 240 gig drive.

I second the recommendation of the M-Audio Revolution. Just be sure to download the latest drivers from the website and mute your speakers during bootup and shutdown - otherwise you get some nasty and unquiet sounds. If you are a gamer looking for the ultimate FPS, this is not the card for you. It o...

I have the same case and swapped the Antecs for the NMBs from SVC. I got some 3 pin to 4 pin adapters to keep the "fan only" system in place. My chassis fan motherboard RPM monitoring doesn't work, so I don't know how fast they spin under this system. I can tell you they are very quiet. Know that th...

I have one of these in a new rig I built. I'm running a xp2100+ Palamino, which has a reputation for running pretty hot, with a SLK-800. I consistently get CPU temps of 40-42C, which results in the fan spinning at 1900-2000 RPM. It is definitely not the noisiest thing in my case now. That dubious ho...

I have the Antec 1080amg incarnation of this case. It is quite sturdy throughout. Even the plastic front door is ok. I doubt it would be much of a match for someone with a crowbar, but it has kept my kids away from the drives. I have one 80 mm fan in the holder in front of the hard drive blowing inw...

Don't worry. Those "Hammer" CPU's that will obsolete everything you have apparently will require a heatsink of a completely different size. Talk about literally planned obsolescence.

I have this card and I've been wondering about this myself, especially because it doesn't have the mounting holes for any of the Zalmans. I've thought about attaching one with alternate means, e.g. thermal adhesive (c-clamps?). I've turned the side "blowhloe" fan on my Antec 1080amg case so it blows...
