    I have been looking around for a case, and I found this. Does anyone know if this is a good case for gaming, and has good cooling? Should I take that deal over the 690 for $80? Also is this an okay UPS? Thanks as always!

    What would be the next step up in terms of case size? I am looking to keep it below $100 Also I need a surge protector for this rig, my z2300 speakers, and monitor. I am looking to spend under $50. Is this a good choice?

    Any recommendations? Jospeh, If I wasnt to use my $130 on a monitor at BB, is there any other part I could grab there? Also space is an issue, so CRT is out of the question. I like your thinking though :p

    Can an external hard drive do 240 Volts?

    Hey everyone, Well I have moved over to the UK for 6 months and realized that I need some help. I have an external hard drive (that has a normal hard drive within it) that uses both USB power as well as adapter power. The the drive enclosure states that it is 110-240V capable, but my...
