    General Question about ping times/latency + Distances

    I always seem to ping 20 ms or lower to Chicago, IL. But, Illinois is not in my state. I live in Michigan. A state away or two, but in Michigan, I get higher ping times from the same host around 40 ms when testing to Detroit. I'm just curious how Chicago, IL offers such great latency when it's...

    Replace 8800GT with 5850?

    My specs are in my sig. I have an Antec 500W powersupply. Recently it seems my 8800GT doesn't like to stay cool despite re-applying thermal paste. It's helped, but...... for lack of better words it seems to just be dying. I'll get random freezes in games, flickers, and black screens...

    broke my side fan.....

    Anyway, I broke my side-fan's fan-blade, because well the heatsink runs into it. I'm planning on just getting some nuts or wing-nuts to hold the fan grate on (side panel)... anyone do this? Or do you guys think baby o-rings would work better? I can't believe I just broke my side fan. :facepalm:

    Internal or External Enclosure?

    I want to get a 2nd HDD to store my random movies/music backups. I was thinking of getting an internal, because I want to use it on my notebook, but I have a esata port, so I'm guessing an external 3.5" drive would be better, because I can get double the space of a (500GB 2.5" notebook drive)...
