Count me in for sure!

1. I'd replace the 4600+ I currently have in my system with the 5000+. I'd save the 4600+ for a HTPC I plan on building this summer. 2. Phenom

Obsidian did KOTOR2, not Bioware.

Well, I ended up getting more money for my birthday than anticipated, so I splurged and got an 8800GTS 320mb.

I wish I actually had more hours at my summer job before heading back to college, then I could actually afford an 8800GTS. If it helps at all my price ceiling is at about $200. That is unless I could sell my 6800GT...hmmm.

If having my specs help, I have: AMD Athlon64 X2 4600+ AM2 2GB of OCZ Platinum XTC DDR2-800 RAM Aerocool ZeroDBA 620w PSU Samsung SyncMaster 940B 19" LCD Monitor (That should be enough to figure out which video card would suit me best I would think) Any links to reviews pitting the 8600GTS...

I think I'm going to snag the Sapphire X1950XT 256mb that is on newegg. $150 after rebate is too good of a deal to pass up.

Is there a big performance difference between the 256mb and 512mb versions of X1950pro? I'm thinking I'm going to buy one of these bad boys, as I don't really have the money for a 8800GTS. Right now I only have a 19" Samsung 940B which runs at 1280x1024.

Is there an exact date for when the 226CW will be available to purchase? I'm looking to get a 22" LCD for gaming as well.

My 6800GT is starting to show its age, so I would like to upgrade it. Unfortunately with my current summer job I'm not getting very many hours so money is a little tight. Would the 8600GTS be a worthwhile upgrade over my current card, or should I just hold out for something else. $150 is nice...

I was just curious as to what the situation was currently with Linux and recording/tuning HD? I know CableCARD is the only real way to do it, but if I remember correctly these only work on Windows. Also wasn't there some nonsense about CableLabs having to certify the device you are using it...

Bump - YGPM (Though I see the case is already pending)

You could hold out for the 8600GTS and 8600Ultra, as they're rumored to be at $150 and $170, respectively.

Sorta related, but I've started to stay away from Asus after they screwed me on my Z71V laptop. The laptop had a pretty common problem with its battery being defective, and my first one did fail. They replaced the first, but the second time it happened they refused to replace claiming the...

If anyone has the resources to stand up to the music industry, it's Microsoft. It'd be nice for once if Microsoft did stand up for it's customers. I think they'd surprise a lot of people if they did stand up to the recording industry. They might woo over some hardcore windows haters too.

Random note: Wii games are about 10x times more fun drunk, especially Wario Ware: Smooth Moves.

I like the "Gaming Card" idea as well. That thing'll be a monsterous card though. As for the article, the ray tracing looks pretty awesome, but it's too bad the industry doesn't seem to be headed that way any time soon. SuperGee: The biggest selling point of a graphics card is its ability to...

I run into a similar problem using netvibes.com and the HardOCP feed.

I don't know why you'd rather not have an FM tuner, I think it's a great addition and something the ipod has been missing for quite a while (not like it'd be that hard to include). Voice recording I don't really care though. But if anyone is complaining because the Zune doesn't have organizer...

The Zune software does convert videos for you but I'm not sure of the formats it supports. I know it can do MP4. Does anyone know of a good way to rip video for use on the Zune? If tried one of those Zune-specific dvd rippers but it was awful and every dvd I ripped had out of sync audio. Am I...

Somehow I haven't had any trouble with the zune software, everything transfers quickly and even converting the videos is pretty quick.

Definitely consider trying MythTV. It is very easy to set up with Ubuntu, I have a dedicated box for it and it is awesome. Link to the MythTV + Ubuntu Edgy guide

I would definitely recommending ripping and reencoding to H.264 or similar (H.264 is great for HD). Unless of course you really want the menus that badly. It'll save you plenty of space and still look great. Doom9.net is a good place to start for information and tutorials.

I got a brown zune the other day and am enjoying it so far!

Any of the Cooler Master Stackers is a safe bet. I have a Stacker T01 which has been awesome for me, though I'm trying to sell it now because the size is too much of a hassle for me being a college student.

I ended up getting a brown Zune and I am very pleased with it so far. Thanks for the help guys!

Bump.

Whoops, forgot about that one. Link has been removed.

Bump and moved 6800GT to ebay.

So after receiving my Christmas money and giftcards I have enough to get a new mp3 player. Right now I'm stuck between these three, the Zune, the 30gig Ipod Video, and the 30gig Zen Vision:M. I'm kinda stuck buying from Best Buy too as I have $75 in gift cards there. Currently there's a deal on...

All items here can be shipped by any method you want, as the shipping store I use has everything available. And of course, you pay for shipping. I am open to negotiation so please feel free to pm me if you feel a price is too high. Sorry if the images are too big in full view, I just left them...

Thanks for all of the suggestions so far! I have heard that the tool-less card retention systems sucks, so I was just planning on using screws anyway.

Well mATX definitely isn't an option as I just bought this AM2 nForce 590 SLI board over the summer. Thanks for all the suggestions thus far.

The black PC-7B is also really nice-looking, I'll definitely take it into consideration with the others.

Currently I have a Cooler Master Stacker (the original, T01 I think is the number). But I'm in college so I find myself having to move it frequently, for breaks and LANs we have at school. I love the case design, but it's size and weight makes it a pain in the ass for me. I was just wondering...

I've got a silver one that's in pretty good condition, just has a small nick on one side from dragging it to a LAN (Yeah I know, bringing a Stacker to a LAN is pretty dumb, that's why I want to get a lighter/smaller case). I'll take some pictures and post em up on here in a little while. I was...
