I live in the greater Vancouver area. Im 10 minutes from NCIX's Burnaby location and 15 minutes from Anitec. They both have almost identical prices in general but NCIX has better selection and more stock. ALso NCIX's forums on their site are cool. I buy everything from them that I can. I jsut...

Damn, that was messed up in many ways. Hope theres a resolution finally that both sides can at least live with. Prob neither side would be happy but at elast it would be over.

I go to the SEMA/AIAA auto show in Vegas every year. Massive show. Used to be every second booth had bikini babes or something like that. I didnt mind at all but apparently some folks did and 7 or 8 years ago they made it a rule to not have that type of presence. Worked well and made no diff to...

Id guess series would be best. Dunno how well it would work. Only one way to really find out. Give er hell.

Once you have decent airflow adding more fans wont do squat for O/Cing ability. 1 high quality heatsink will do more for you than 100 case fans. If you want serious Ocing ability step up to water. Its not a big leap.

Im not familiar with speedfan but have found motherboard temp readings to be off by a fair bit. Abit boards in particular are bad for this but Ive experienced it with Asus as well. Im sure other brands have the same problem. The onboard CPU and case temps are usually off, sometimes by over 10c...

Im smarter than u all cuzz I says so!. So very defensive for such a "enlightened something" one. lol.

Nice price at Futureshop there. Usually they dont even come close to the best deal around. I went from a 9800Pro, heavily O/Ced, to a X800 GTO2 O/Ced past X850 XT PE specs in my early A64 system. THe diff in recent games was amazing. I can really crank up the eye candy now in F.E.A.R. and...

Im using a ASUS K8NF4-E Deluxe. Socket 754 core. and its the same deal. Can only run 2 sticks of DDR400 or get it downclocked. Lucky ram is pretty cheap right now so 1g sticks arent to crazy expensive but it stings a bit when You have a couple nice 512s sitting there useless. Nice how...

2000 and a cookie!

^Truth. Remove the exhaust problem alltogether. Took me no time to make a case top enclosure for the rad/fans setup. Oh , and yeah, its a PULL setup. EDIT: yes, it is still portable. I dont Lan a lot but it has gone with me a few times. No biggie.

You can run an average water setup for well over a year without doing any maintenance if you use a decent additive like water wetter, zerex etc. Mines been running for about 16 months but does get drained from time to time to change CPU and Vid blocks when upgrading.

I actually took a big step backwards with F.E.A.R. On the same day I got the game my 9800Pro kicked the bucket and I had to use a old 8500LE . It worked but just barely with everything turned down to minimum. Had to use that card for over a week before I got a GTO2 and Oced it. F.E.A.R...

First time my jaw dropped was when I got the Monster Voodoo 1 4 mb card on its first day in stores. At the time it was amazing. True 3d graphics. People seem to forget the huge piles of problems "back in the day" with software mainly. When was the last time you saw the blue screen of...

In Germany at least the . and , are reversed, Example 10,000.00 here is 10.000,00 there. DEAUTCHLAND UBER ALLES!!!
