Fans last forever, what's $12.99 when you can have the peace of mind that it'll be silently reducing your temps and increasing reliability for years to come :D
Just buy the cheapest reliable PSU you can find and cut off the wires you don't need, then solder the ends or seal with plastic caps or electrical tape.
I would say Micro Center. The money you save over having to pay for shipping (especially on large items like cases and power supplies) really makes a difference. And even if item X is the same price @ Newegg and Microcenter after you factor in tax and shipping, would you rather pay $15 to UPS or...
Not sure if they already deleted your other thread or not, but Samsung is the king of sub-$200 widescreens. I think you can even get an IPS in your price range for the size
The Temjin is flimsier? I would be looking at the Silverstone FT03 as well but it's pretty pricey and I've heard a lot about build quality issues
Thanks!
Thanks. I just picked up my 2500k from Micro Center with a Maximus IV Gene-Z so it looks like I'll be running pretty much the same setup you are. I don't really care about size, I guess I just like the novelty of mATX. The Core 1000 is tempting as I'm on a budget but no front panel...
Where's the cheapest place to pick one of these up? Looks like Newegg is out of stock.
Also, why would one choose the Temjin over a Fractal Define or Arc Mini?

I'm assuming you mis-typed and are wondering why I compared MC prices vs. Newegg. MC is out of the 2600k's and Newegg's 2600 price is way high. So I compared the best available price for each and took the difference to show the K is more than "just a few dollars" more
The standard 2600 is $250 @ MC... $80 less than Newegg's 2600k (MC no longer has the K in stock) - so it's quite a bit cheaper.
Also, none of the matx boards are P67 (meaning none currently support overclocking) - so if one wants to build a SB HTPC they have no use for an unlocked processor...
Anyone know the difference between the "old" SSDSA2MH080G2R5
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820167023
and the "new" SSDSA2MH080G2K5 ?

I was just about to pull the trigger on the 80G2R5 when it went out...
Aquamark is a joke. If I'm testing new oc settings I'll do Hyperpi 1M first, then prime95, then orthos, then 3dmark 06 and vantage. I wouldn't leave any of these running for more than about an hour like some of these guys are doing. If it hasn't failed in an hour it's probably not going to, and...
I can't remember all of mine but here are the highlights
Intel 386
?
AMD 333mhz something or other
AMD 3200+ Barton - first OC
AMD FX-55 - big disappointment
Intel E8400@4.1ghz (current)
Needless to say, I don't upgrade very often, I usually skip a generation and overclock to make up for it...
