Sweet. These things kick ass. I have one of the older ones, they are great. The only problem I've found with them is really microsoft's fault; see after about six months of use there is this multi-gigabyte log file that screws everything up. If you don't purge it yourself every couple of...

EVGA Nvidia GeForce 6600 GT (2005) PNY Nvidia GeForce 8500 GT (2007) BFG Nvidia GeForce 9800 GTX (2008)

THAT sounds like great idea. I second this.

I think netbooks are great, because they keep the same functionality of a laptop, but they are ultra portable. More like a giant PDA than a small personal computer. Netbooks make for great modding projects too; you can open them up and hide the components in silly places, like under the...

The best card I've ever owned was a BFG 8500gt 512mb. Not high performing, but it was reliable and took a lot of crap.

So, looking at relative performance, the GTX 280 is only 6-7% slower than the 4870x2 http://www.techpowerup.com/reviews/Sapphire/HD_4870_X2_Atomic_Watercooled/26.html So it takes 2 of ATI's best gpu's to compete with Nvidia's best single gpu card! What's even more odd, is that the 9800GX2...

I dunno, Nvidia can do better. I think a dual 280 would be better than a dual 260. I wonder if the reason they used two 260's is because they can't use 280. Possibly heat/power problems or something?

mmmm tasty displayport Is that a Displayport port? That would go great with a Dell 3008 WFP monitor. I've been thinking about getting two of them.

Yeah, ha ha, I wouldn't.

http://i3.techpowerup.com/reviews/ATI/HD_4830/images/perfdollar.gif Maybe this chart is old, but it looks like the 9600 GT is the champ in performance/price:confused:

Does anyone else think that the texture fill rate on the 4870x2 is interesting? Why is that, does it have faster memory/more memory than the gtx 295?

I find that with most people they don't like the top part. It's too bad, because I would love the front drive bay cover to be on the pc-a77.

Yeah, it's spacious. Like the orignal Thermaltake armor, only with 12 bays. I'm using it to accomodate 8 of Thermaltake's HDD water blocks in my next build. Anyways I think the pros of Lian-Li's PC-a77 are: Room for three PSU's. Two on top (on their sides), one on bottom twelve 5.75...

I like the Lian-Li PC-a77b http://lian-li.com/v2/en/product/product06.php?pr_index=212&cl_index=1&sc_index=25&ss_index=61 But I have a lot of stuff to fit into my computer.

Doesn't look too bad. Nice idea for a shoebox server. I saw a lego technic set that I wanted while christmas shopping, my SO talked me out of it, saying "You are 21, we shouldn't even be in this department."
