Thanks much Kyle, Galaxy and HardOCP! Happy holidays everyone and good luck everyone on future drawings!

having enough power to drive 2 decently sized monitors + GPU folding = awesome.

3. I think there is a free version of Belarc that does this, or is it just MS keys? http://www.belarc.com/free_download.html

A quality SSD installed in my computer will most definitely be faster than a 7200rpm SATA drive ;)

We use Symantec Brightmail Gateways at work, and they're pretty accurate. I don't think using that will be much of a cost savings (probably depends on the licensing agreement with Symantec that a company has). For open source there's a package of ClamAV/SpamAssassin called MailScanner...

LSI makes some RAID controllers that handle many ports, such as this 16 port model: http://www.lsi.com/products/storagecomponents/Pages/MegaRAIDSAS9280-16i4e.aspx

I love AMD for their GPUs (price/performance/power usage). I'd like to have a free chance to also learn why to love AMD for their CPUs ;)

I heard there's some swampland on sale... somewhere ;)

Who was advertising those prices?

cooler than stock = better ;)

Good warranty, good efficiency and good looks... what's not to like?

The 6990 = crazy performance. 'Nuff said ;)

it's the cooler cooler because of the umlaut ;)

I like the attention to detail, for instance the filters on the drive bay covers.

I've heard a lot of good things about Corsair... would love to experience their product firsthand ;)

Corsair appears to consistently provide quality products.

Video cards that don't look gaudy and have good amount of cooling is always a good thing.

Does not appear so. See point #5 in the MS article I linked in the previous reply.

Verify and/or try converting the disk to GPT. you will only be able to boot newer Windows OSs on a GPT volume, but if you are running the one single OS that should be fine.

Depending on the OS you used (e.g. 32 bit) the largest partition size may be limited to 2TB. I believe this is not the case for GPT volumes in 64 bit Windows 2008 and Windows 7. Look at this link from Microsoft describing the storage limitations...

Intel, Corsair, G.Skill

null ;)

Corsair RAM kicks ass because it looks like you could kill someone with the serrated edge ;)

2 video cards are better than one because nothing is worse than a lonely video card ;-)

I noticed the following posts regarding network/server outages during the month of December. How will this affect the "boxen giveaway" contest? http://folding.typepad.com/news/2010/12/index.html

Why the hell do I visit the Hot Deals forum? To find the cheapest/free computer stuff out there (mostly the free part) ;-)

Generic 3 dollar ear buds... hiss and crackle ftl

Wolfenstein 3D (the one that came out in the early 90's) Doom

When I saw the article at first glance, I thought AMD was bring back an old video card line :P

"Danger" is my middle name ;-) OK not really... :P

Gigabyte has been consistently good. The P55 board would pair great with the i7-860 and the 880 board would make a nice base for a new AMD build. You can't beat the cool blue colors!

They could make the case a bit thicker and they would have good theft deterrent then ;-)

Once where was a n00bie named pontiac6000 that posted an entry on a give-away thread and actually won a video card... and lived happily ever after ;-)

I'd love to see lower power/heat, higher performance and lower cost (like most others probably do)!

what will I use for kindling then?

I've use this set for over half a year now and have had no complaints. It's also on sale with 10USD coupon. The timings are a little slower though than the Mushkin, FYI. http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820231277
