I'm in a similar situation. I want the "sweet spot" video card for a Tivo-like box that will run 24/7. It gets HOT where I live, so I need low electricity consumption. I don't want to add to the cooling requirements my house already has. Where is the real sweet spot for A/V performance versus energy...

Cool link. Decrapifier is nice too. I run it every time one of my family members buy a new computer. Standard practice for me is to also remove McAffee and install Antivir that time. This way they don't call me three months later in a tizzy because their three-month McAffee trial ran out and their c...

Gigabyte P35 DS3P - Too much for me?
I'm trying to build a system for my daughter to edit videos, and perhaps work as a Mythbuntu box. I already have a Core2Duo E6400. This box will never be used for gaming, be overclocked, be memory or processor upgraded, or have a RAID array. The catch is I want Firewire. Is the Gigabyte P35 DS3P too...

When you say "functionally identical" do you mean it's just a re-branded Seasonic?NeilBlanchard wrote:the 500watt PSU with a 300watt Fortron Source "Green" unit. This would be functionally identical, and it would save $124.
$35 is a nice price.

It is my opinion that the "future-proofing" concept promoted by the IT media is a scam designed to please their advertisers. After building systems for 21 years, I've noticed that by the time your systems *really* needs an upgrade, it's cheaper to throw it in the dumpster and build new than attempt ...
