    Upgrade time.

    Hey guys (and gals)! My trusty 8800GT is starting to tell me that it doesn't have much time left, and I'm looking at upgrading. I'm trying to keep it in the $200-$250 range. So I was thinking, GTX460 or GTX560? Is there much of an advantage between one or the other, or is there a better...

    UPS question.

    I've been looking into getting a UPS to protect my gaming PC. The PC in question is the one in my sig. (Note: I do run the Folding@Home GPU client on the PC, so the GPU is drawing full power all the time.) I'm not expecting long life, just enough to keep it up if the power blinks quickly, or...
