    FS: Antec Overture 2 w/450W TruePowerPSU WTB: Raptors any size

    FS: Antec Overture 2 With 450W TruePower PSU. The ultimate media center or home theater PC case. I used this for a few months and was thoroughly impressed. I've moved to a P180 so this is up for sale. It is in very good condition, there are 2 very very minor scratches in the paint and it has...

    Which revision of Silencer is needed?

    The SIlencer 4 rev. 2 fits, you have to cut off 2 of the posts and a corner of the copper base. Nothing an [H] modder can't do with a Dremel. Also, you have to rewire the fan to a 2-pin plug to be able to plug it directly into the card. I've done it before and have some pics, PM me if you want them.

    X1800XT 3D05 score not much higher than X800XT

    I just ran 3D05 on my new X1800XT 256MB and got a score of 6902 at stock speeds, 1024 X 768, no AA, all default settings using the demo version.(sig system, proc. at stock 1.8GHz) My old X800XT used to get 6000 OCed to its limit of about 592/600. Does this seem right? I know the 1800's have...

    New Nvidia GPU coming only 4 days

    Man I have a hard time believing this. If this is a major release, Nvidia would not hide (if you can call it hiding) the answer in the banner. How do they get off re-releasing the 7600s weeks after they're available? My gut feeling is that the 7600 banner is not the big announcement. It looks...

    X1800 XT 256MB mini-review

    I installed a VF700CU yesterday and moved to a Abit AT8 Crossfire board. Nothing but smoothness. I idle at ~70C, still high but then I have very little airflow the way it's set up. I'll be doing a mod on my case shortly, to install a plexiglass panel in the top of my Overture 2 that will have...

    X1800 XT 256MB mini-review

    Oh. Thanks. I feel like such a n00b. See this is what I was talking about, ATI Tool shows ONLY 600/700, it doens't indicate there's another mode.

    X1800 XT 256MB mini-review

    QFT! it's an insanely great deal. I will warn you, my card came clocked at 600/1400. The newegg listing says 625/1500. I've not spent much time trying to OC it because I know there's something funny about not being able to OC at the 3D level, only at the 2D level. When I tried to use ATI Tool...

    X1800 XT 256MB mini-review

    Are you serious? having the thing at a minimum of 55% would drive me nuts. I have an Overture 2 sitting 2 feet from me on top of my desk, so it's not an ideal scenario. I'd like to get a P180, but don't have $150 + cash for a PSU right now.

    X1800 XT 256MB mini-review

    No, I stay away form the HS... the issue is that the fan is so incredibly loud at any temp above 70C when left to automatic speeds. It's a great card, you just have to get a better, quieter HSF for it if you plan to be able to hear what you're doing. This mobo seems to work just fine, but a...

    X1800 XT 256MB mini-review

    I just played BF2 in singleplayer mode, and it stayed below 75C at reasonable fan noise. It looks like it can be OK if you manage the fan speeds yourself using ATI Tool. I intend to get a Zalman VF700 Fatal1ty to match the Fatal1ty mobo I plan on exchanging this DFI crap for. It won't POST...

    X1800 XT 256MB mini-review

    This is a mini-review that I wish would have existed when I was looking into buying this card. There are plenty of reviews on the 512MB version out there, but the 256MB version is cheaper and performs almost exactly the same unless textures are maxed out. I got this card today, along with a...

    What PayPal really does and *Bad Trader Alert*

    Well I'm in my 3rd year of a dispute with a Romanian turd who scammed me through Ebay. There's no way I'd ever ship outside the US, it's just too hard to get anything done. I've gotten 3 notices form Romania that apparently were court appointments, but.. they were in Romanian... My contact at...
