    XFX AMD Radeon™ HD 7870 GHz Edition Graphics Card Lucky Draw

    Shopping for one of these now. Would be better to win one. :) I have been using Radeons for many years. I generally go with Sapphire, but XFX gets solid reviews.

    Seasonic X-560 Give-Away! 3 PSUs!

    Quality parts and reliability. I need that thing to stand up to months of abuse, bad power feeds, and lots of part swaps as I play with components.

    Sapphire 4870 X2 Atomic Review -- A rant.

    I own an Atomic 4870x2. As a graphics card, it is fantastic. Stays cool, single slot...love that bit. But it did not come with a retention ring that would let me use the CPU cooler on my i7 920, and I cannot convince either ATI or Asetek to cough up the ring. I tried to get creative with the...

    Which X58 Motherboard do you use? [Poll]

    The plain old ASUS P6T...no Deluxe or WS. Solid board, cheaper than the other two and has a better PCIe/PCI layout. Loving the Splashtop feature (5 second boot!), and the other utilities that come with it. BIOS is highly configurable, it is a cool-running board...like it a lot. Worth a look...

    24-26" IPS - Best Choice.

    I'm very happy with my Planar 26". \I was able to get it with the Live Update/Sale on Ebay combination that brought the price down a few hundred dollars...and the monitor is fantastic. The only small annoyance is that it takes a few seconds to "warm up" when it has been off--the screen...

    Confirmation of BFG ES-800 PSU Suckage

    I purchased a BFG-800 from Newegg based on reviews and price. There appear to be three areas people are concerned about: + The Lifetime Warrenty: It's not tough to do on the BFG site, but you do hae to read the instructions carefully. Worked fine once I did, and I received confirmations from...

    Best card that I can get for a friend in APG for cheap.

    I have a couple older AGP cards available. The 2600 is in my machine currently, and is a very nice card, but I am about to rebuild. That card has given me an extra year of life out of my old Athlon box. The other two cards have been boxed up for storage. All work fine. + Sapphire HD2600 Pro...

    Anyone with i7 920, batch 3837B317?

    I picked up my 920 from the MicroCenter in Overland Park, KS. last night--batch number 3841A453. I'm at the same "My Precious" phase as Cambrian as I wait for the rest of the bits to come from NewEgg this week.

    Which CPU should I get when prices drop?

    The Core i7 920 at $229 (Microcenter has them at this price for in-store pickup) makes it compelling even with the C2Q price drops. Add a Gigabyte UD3R for $184 (after rebate) and some reasonable (?) DDR3 for $76 and you have a system that is competitive with any of the C2Qs AND has a future...
