I remember my uncle had them lying around and gave them to me. They collected dust until today when I was cleaning. I would just need to buy a fan that fit the mobo.

I bought a eVGA 9800GT from Fry's today for $80 - $40 MIR + tax = $47. It's sitting in its plastic wrap. Its sole purpose is Starcraft 2 med-high with the system in the sig. I keep seeing deals of better cards for $70-100 but I think the rest of the computer would bottleneck it. And it'd be more...
I figure this is as good a place as any to ask.

I've been reading previous threads for using the Y splitters and they say that the sound quality is fine when having speakers off and headphones on.

I'll probably be getting the bundle when it comes out in June but 2 questions:
Is it only for the 80 gig PS3? (I'd rather have a 65nm chip, if they haven't put them into the 80 gigs by then)
Anyone know the price? I.E. if it'll cost the same as the game + system or just the price of the...

It gets pretty loud for my tastes during gaming and certain times. I'd rather put a new fan on it to make it quiet all the time. It'd be cheaper than replacing and I'm content with the current graphics. Then I can wait for newer cards to drop in price.
Summary: Cheapest recommended fan to...
:( It isn't stopping me from getting it but the way they implement "widescreen" just sucks. Hopefully patched soon.

Ring of Red the PS2 game. It's an older one I just picked up at gamestop for $5 and it's fun albeit a bit long.
It's like Final Fantasy Tactics and Armored Core had some strange child together. Only downside is you can't save during missions that can last up to 2 to 3 hrs each.
I'm pretty new to them and been searching around for an answer.
Does the voltage rating mean the tolerance of it?
I have to replace a part from a schematic that has a 200V 40A full-wave TRIAC on it and I can't find a place to buy one like that. Will a 300-400V 40A work?

I was worrying about my temps so I took off my case panel. At first the fan wasn't running when I turned it on and for a few mins and I was worried. Then it turned on and off repeatedly for a while. On 10 secs, off 5 secs, etc. I turned on a game and it seems to mostly be running constantly...

This was by far my favorite SNES game, also known as Tetris Attack.
I'm hoping it makes it stateside. It seems like a perfect on the go game for the DS.
