haha, I see, well, like I said, I am just using newegg as a reference for price and review and what not. I am going to mostly order it from a friend who work at a computer store, and I am just gonna pick it up there and test it right there to make sure all the parts are working right. So...

I dont know much about uGuru, but I was just doing some googling on it, and it seem it does have is draw back and people suggest instead of using that, do it the manual way. external clearCMOS switch is handy, but I doubt I will change my bios setting that frequently after everything is set...

@Asusrocks oh man, did you just hijack my thread? :P but while you are here, mind sharing some experience? What mobo was that? was it the asus one? Did you need that much watts in your PSU? or did you just kind of went with that one?? On a more general note, how did you find your new...

I guess it all comes down to my luck when choose a brand between 2 very similar products. And have to make sure that they are in retail package and have a good delivery services. @GJSNeptune and others with bad expereince with delivery services You said the package got wet, is it DOA? Did you...

I am just guessing here, as non of the pictures show a air flow diagram. I think the air goes from the front, to the back; and the fan on the heat sink should be blowing through the heat sink toward the back fan. Also, I saw a lot of case have several fan in side, like some has one just above...

I don't build a lot of computer like you folks do, so I can only judge base on what everyone else said. And the YS 'seem' provide more stability than the desktop counterparts. Then again, WD and Seagate did said both their server grade is built for long lasting and stability. Plus is not much...

well I only have a few things that I consider a must, such as RAID and support up to 8gb (4x2gb), and can house a E8400 and 8800GT, and thats basically it. stuff like firewire are good to have but not a must. You have anything in mind that I should really consider?

Nice! Do you need a fan for the heat sink? or is the one on the case sufficient? I see 3 out of 4 case there has a fan on the heat sink, I am debating if I should go with that or not. Then again, is only $12-$15 extra. The thing I worry is will I mess up the air flow if I install additional...

what type of 250gig WD was it? The server grade hard drive for WD is model number ending with YS, as to the Barracuda line for Seagate. It would be great if we can compare these 2 line of products directly instead of comparing to those desktop sub-model. I need that stability and the extended...

The only "vanilla" IP35 I found doesn't support onboard RAID, which is one of the thing I am looking for in the mobo. Also, does the ABIT mobo that you mention has anything I should consider? I know the brand is good for OC, but other than that, I can't find any feature in the specification...

is it just barely fitting or have lots of room to spare?

Consider I am going to do a RAID 0 setup, reliability is a must, sound is closely on the 2nd. My only experience with hard drive so far is with maxtor, and they are nothing but pain...

I know the numbers of platters make a difference, but is it double the sound? or just minor increase in the noise department?

Thanks for the heads up. I think I will go for TRUE 120 and a fan on the side, now I just have to make sure I can mount the damn thing. Good advice on the mobo too, found a more pricey alternative, can't find any major difference that I really can use on the more expansive one. If I can't...

and hows the new WD after the refunds?
