    Case retailers w-large selection of desktop cases?

    What retailers can you recommend with large selections of cases, and specifically horizontal desktop, ie non-tower, offerings? I want a desktop case with a bunch of 5-1/4 bays. It's not a problem getting 4-6-8 bays in tower format. I want one with alot of bays in a desktop format, say 2-2-2...

    PC3200 2x1G retail memory advice needed

    That's the one I got, Eclipse, the Kingston 2x1gb. I couldn't wait on the entire system any more just to get the perfect memory. I obsessed with every other component and pretty much slacked on the memory choice. Spent the extra $15 dollars thinking maybe if they bothered to put a pair in a...

    PC3200 2x1G retail memory advice needed

    Oh, no doubt. I remember the first computer I built from scratch back in 1993. I had like twenty-something vendors. Whoever had what I wanted at the best price got the sale. But then NewEgg came along both cheaper nearly across the board and with shipping consolidatable, and they started...

    PC3200 2x1G retail memory advice needed

    I've always ordered from NewEgg in the past, but their prices, while very good, aren't the best right now and their shipping adds up. I'm still a NewEgg customer, but this time I'm trying another retailer - ZipZoomFly - better prices and free shipping. And since they've got everything else...

    What's the diff b/w: DDR400 / DDR2-400

    This is from ZipZoomFly: 85018-12 Kingston KVR400D2N3K2/2G 2GB Kit DDR2-400 PC2-3200 $212 Which seems like a pretty good price from what you all are saying. My last decision is what 2x1G DDR400 memory to get. ZipZoomFly has 3 Kingstons and 4 Corsairs to choose from and I'm...

    Multi-Monitor tradeoffs

    Not having dual monitors for some time now, I'm not really sure how I'll use them, but when I did have them in the past it was very useful. I imagine I'll have a main monitor and keep an older one hooked up, both with regular workaday stuff. Then, when I want to play a game I'll put it on...

    What's the diff b/w: DDR400 / DDR2-400

    Kingston has these 2x1G kits from ZipZoomFly: -- DDR400 PC3200 -- DDR2-400 PC2-3200 Is DDR2 better? It's about 10% more expensive.

    PC3200 2x1G retail memory advice needed

    Well, ZipZoomFly doesn't have 1G Crucial sticks, so it's between Corsair and Kingston unless these choices are lousy, which I doubt. I've had Crucial in the past with no real problems, so that's not an issue, but both Kingston and Corsair are supposed to be pretty good too, so some of these...

    PC3200 2x1G retail memory advice needed

    Here are some PC3200 Memory 2x1G from ZipZoomFly that are in my cheapo price range. Planned mobo is ASUS AN8 Premium w/Athlon 64 3000+. They are all around $100/Gig. Just looking for general recommend/avoid advice. Thanks. ---------- 80098-33 Kingston KVR400X64C3A/1G 1GB...

    Multi-Monitor tradeoffs

    and it's certainly crossed my mind. I'm wondering what the tradeoffs are, and where the occur. For example, I would guess that dual-monitors driven off of a videocard in a single motherboard slot would be slower than dual-monitors driven off two videocards each in an SLI slot, just because...

    Multi-Monitor tradeoffs

    I'm guessing there has to be some tradeoff for using multi-monitors, but I don't know what it is. Someone on another board explained that dual-output video cards, which is what I'm going to get, can display full resolution on both monitors, so I'm wondering if it's performance. You can get...

    Are ATI cards OK for dual-SLI?

    For multi-monitors, but not SLI. I figured that any two cards could go into the PCI-e16 slots as long as you didn't want to SLI them, in which case only identical nVidia cards would work. That's what I'm going to like about SLI, is simply two video card slots on the motherboard. I know you...

    Are ATI cards OK for dual-SLI?

    I don't know what to call dual-cards in SLI slots but not SLI'd together, so that's what I mean by dual-SLI. The question then is will non-nVidia cards work as dual cards on SLI mobos like the Asus A8N? I've seen mention here that only nVidia cards are SLI-able, but for non-SLI are any two...
