XFX power supplies: made by enthusiasts, for enthusiasts, using top notch kit (Seasonic!). What's not to like?

If we were shopping smart (S-mart), the XFX 6990 would be equivalent to a double-lifetime warrantied boomstick. "Hail to the king, baby!" (Ash)

Currently, I am still using the intermittently functional, cosmetically broken, and children-abused Logitech ClearChat Stereo headset I referenced in the last HS1 contest thread. :(

The main thing I look for when it comes to a power supply is a HardOCP gold award, as this all but ensures a top notch product with superior stability, build quality, and reliability. Relative to my current power supply, I like the higher efficiency and modular cables. The dark enclosure is...

Why do I need to hear my games better? Well, it's my children, you see. The din created by a 5 and 12 year old can make hearing one's thoughts difficult, much less hearing one's games. In those rare moments when the background cacaphony dies down enough that I'm actually able to hear the...

Why not ride the Metro? Well, if the Metro is like a succession of cars, ie trailers, and a cyclone is like a tornado (okay Bill Nye, not really, but get over it), well, we all know what tornadoes do to trailers...

Galaxy Sunspot The technology provides a relatively cool spot on the surface of the Fermi. ;)

At the moment, I primarily play a game called Savage, as well as whatever MMO my Savage clan drags me into at the moment (currently EQ2). I'm hoping that while it may not perform great, the updated processor will make Savage much more smooth while also, hopefully, allowing me to at least play...

AFAIK, the other motherboard will support the 2600+ Tbred B (don't think they made an A of the 2600), or at least that is what the manufacturer claims. I've read about people having problems, too, and am still researching it before I buy a 2600, though. Otherwise, yeah, a reinstall of XP will...

I did find a benchmark from Tom's on basically the same hardware comparing the 4200 and a 9800 Pro with 256MB onboard memory. The performance increase over the 4200 at 1024x768 (no AA, 8xAF) were mostly minimal in something like HL2, though Doom 3 showed a big boost, as did UT2k4 (25-35 fps)...

I'm looking to extend the life of one of my computers. I'll be getting a new computer sometime around Q2 or Q3 of this year (probably a dual core setup of some sort), so I'm not looking to spend a fortune. However, I would like to make sure that this one can still run decently so I can keep it...
