Re: What is the Best IDE/ Floppy Round Cable to buy?
Hi guys: But now time has passed and I'm looking for the best round cables I can get. Meaning: a) They have to be the thinner than the usual round IDE cable. b) They have to be the most flexible (the less stiff the better). c) Of course reliable. Thanks a bunch in advance!! I like the ones from pac...

I voted for louder and cooler but in reality my P180 is the same noise level and cooler. I have tried a 120mm fan blowing up,and no fan at all. And the open vent with no fan is ~3-4C cooler on the cpu. I recall a post made by MikeC suggesting another method of placing an air dam 2" to the front of t...

With your GTX ,I think you need another 35w above the GTS. I myself would think a NeoHE550 to be your minimum psu. All these psu's are compatible with ...

Check the "memory access" size of your card. I assume that the 9600 had 64 bit memory acess ...I think your aperture size should match that.

Just curious if there has been any experimenting on how fast your cpu has to be to get the full effects out of a 8800gtx? or even 8800gts. Hello there GG, I saw a review somewhere that showed conclusively that the only current cpu capable of keeping up with the 8800 is C2Extreme 6800. When they put...

Re: Stock P180 fans.
If you already have a stacker, upgrading to a P180 is like buying the same car only with more options. Slap some cheap adhesive floor tiles on the case walls, install some quiet fans (Nexus or Scythe), and suspend your hard drives and you'd have a case at least as quiet as P180. The Stacker does ha...
