I feel that graphics cards are playing catch up with games. Games seem to be always ahead of graphics cards in requirements. Even with a 6800U or X850XTPE, I don't think you can play D3 or HL2 with all eye candy on right? It was the same with last gen cards with Halo2 and Farcry. Yes. Thats often t...

that 85% card may very well become the new mainstream. Definitely my choice and most other people's choice in cards. And to know that the X800's uses less power than 9800XT's, that at least is an achievement. I think maybe ATi is a bit more concerned about efficency. But they probably cant afford t...

The manufactorer also wants to give the customers the impression that airflow was a priority. They claim: "Five fan holes to give great airflow " "Fan hole diameter: 80mm (1 in back, 1 in front , 1 in top and 2 on side panel)" And of course :D : "Excellent Craftsmanship" http://www.pcextreme.net/rev...

I completely agree with nici here. Your case should be someting you want so be proud of just like the pc inside. Cases like thermal rocks are just rediculus and antec is borring to me. What about acrylic cases? I remember hearing that they're not ideal acoustically, but I wouldn't expect them to be...

It looks like a toy made for kids. But lots of popular cases with cheap plastic, lights and useless displays do that. I guess I wouldn´t be able to live with a case like that even if it was silent and with top performance. At least some of my friends would laugh at me.

It´s stange that they designed it so that several popular ATX motherboards cant fit. They should have tested that. It would not hurt the design if it was 20-30mm deeper. At least I can see no reason for this that makes any sense...

It´s not strange that the cards need more power every new generation. The fact that ATI and Nvidia are competing is mostley the reason for this. It´s important for them to be the performance leader. And most hardcore gamers only compare benchmarks. Lets say it´s possible to design a card that gives ...
