I've been looking at laptops for the past few months, trying to help out friends and family with their purchases. What I've seen is that prices actually went *up* for the supposed holiday sales on the quality models. I think they tried to game the market (offering holiday deals after marking...

Umm. Where exactly did you go to school? :)

While I very much appreciate the OC info, many of us can't really take advantage of it when our boards won't post. There are a lot of messages on this forum and others (including Asus') where many users are having issues. Is there any info from Asus on whether there is an updated bios/fix in...

[takes a look] 10 cases?!?! :eek: (sigh) Thanks for making me take a look. In use: Antec 900 CM690 Antec Lanboy Going onto Craigslist: 7 others of various sizes (Chieftec, Lian-Li, Antec, etc.)

The Lian Li is a quality case with some fine points. I've got the 900 and I like it a lot. Very good at keeping things cool and actually isn't too loud even with all the original Antec tri-cool fans. Only things I don't like is the bottom mounted PSU and that's just because of where the power...
