As a note i order the Arctic Cooler Freezer 64 after i researched it for $29 bucks it's mostly quiet and a great value. Test below http://www.madshrimps.be/?action=getarticle&number=13&artpage=1293&articID=224 I would imagine the Ninja for $50 and $15 nexus w/ 120mm would be near perfect.... But the...

She bills an ungodly amount of hours. With Citrix she is faster at home then at work do to crappy office CPUs and her rather sweet set up at home. She also does Photoshop elements and Microsoft picture-it. She probably doesn’t need that much but it was only $39-49 bucks so why not. The processor was...

Beware the Zip page does not say that it is a AN8 Ultra it's only a version 2 as silencetowrite points out... meaning your getting the nForce4 chip and not the nForce4 ULTRA chip. "The main difference between the Nforce Ultra and the regular one is SATA II support. What this does is give an availabl...
