WHOA! Where did you find a 1950xtx for $350? I thought they were about $450. Did you mean the 1900xt? He's not referring to the x1950XTX 512mb.. cheapest one I can find is 419 and it dropped from like 450 in the last couple of days. I think it's the x1900/512 variant he's mentioning which does run ...

A good move on their part, how about the rest though? At least it is retroactive for the existing customers.

yes, a very good price. When I went at opening time on Sunday morning there were 2 left, on Monday in Missouri there was 1 left. Quick to go. Very quick and quiet, not to mention roomy!

I'm pretty sure it is, I got one yesterday in Carbondale Illinois and saw it today when I stopped by another one in Cape Girardeau, MO to see about getting something else. It also comes with a "secure connect" sata cable, if that excites you. It is listed in their weekly ad, might want to check that...

Retail boxed WD5000KSRTL at Best Buy for $159 this week. It is the latest revision that is referenced in the review on this website (at least mine is). Very quiet. Just FYI for those wanting/needing immediate gratification and the ability to return easily if it isn't the latest one or quiet enough f...

I've been to that Fry's about a year ago when we were visiting relatives, but yea it's about 375 miles due north. (we're waaayy down at the bottom).. Nice store tho. The relatives moved closer this way so have'nt been to that area since then.

Was needing to know if any retail locations are carrying the Antec SOLO?

Regarding the WD5000KS, the ones of you that have it, where did you get it and what is your revision label?

I see newegg is at 214, ZZF at 218..

The drives without the ac brick were all notebook drives.. I too have not seen a standard 3.5" drive (desktop type) that did not power from an AC adapter.. Anyone provide a link otherwise?

I saw those at Sam's recently, 122 at the time, but was turned off by the need for the AC adapter.. I'd rather go a bit smaller and just have the USB connector to deal with .

In fact, if you open any neo he with a broken or mangled warranty sticker, you should be able to see a hacked resistor applied to the 12v line. I don't think there is a correlation between a broken sticker and a fixed NeoHE. The one I received yesterday does not have the indicators on the bar code ...

Really, I think 15 pages on this topic is enough. I'm a little weary of this thread continually resurfacing at the top of the PSU forum like a poo that refuses to flush. Anyone with problems with a NeoHE, follow the instructions outlined by AntecRep. Anyone with further comments on this saga please...

This turned out to be significant, because when I mounted its fan blowing down, the air leaving the fins was so hot it actually increased the motherboard temperature. I also tried blowing up through the fins, hoping this would suck air through the motherboard heatsinks, but that only worked when th...

Not intending to start anything here, but makes me love my x2 4400+ (38c idle/45c load), system in sig a little more

Oh! thanks! that must be it, then! they should warn that the PSU will not work with older motherboards, though :x doubt it will be a problem for me, because I assume the MSI K8NMG2-FID qualifies as "new", but others might be buying the case or PSU for use with older parts... Forget that, to find -5...

As far as I know it's an Asus-only problem. I got a Nexus 4090 and it worked straight away on my Asus A7N8X-X. Going to get rid of the silly Antec power supply. We're not talking rocket science, we're talking about a frigging power supply. Besides that, the case is really nice. Got a Samsung SP2104...

Rather than make you search for my results, intel 915p (asus p5gdc), 945p (Asus p5l2) and Nforce4 (Abit an8 ultra) in my instance.

Quick feeler check here, I"m about done with the p150/neo430 combo (bought a 2nd p5ld2 asus and it ain't booting).. So, how is the Sonata II w/ the stock SP2 450 psu? Am I going to run screaming from the house when it boots? I'm not concerned about the parts I have now, they are nice and inaudible t...

I have had three Neo HE 430Ws, and tried them with three different boards. S0509 #1: Works with NF7-S v2.0, Asus Nforce3 board S0509 #2: Works with Asus Nforce3 board S0512: Works with NF7-S v2.0, Asus Nforce3 board and Asus A8N-SLI Premium So, 2 out of 3, pretty good odds ;) correct me if I'm wron...

antec support told ya that huh? They tried telling me several things too, anything to get me off the phone easily, especially at first.

'not loading the PSU enough' My hind foot.

Yup. I will most likely buy Antec again, but I will NOT be an early adopter as I have in the past and will buy locally where I can easily return and leave the problem in the retailers' hands to deal with Antec or their dist. It's sad to say that Antec has made some poor manufacturing/sourcing decisi...

But the sticker doesn't matter, you can RMA the power supply even if it is no longer in tact. Doesn't matter who sells it or who buys it, it is still under warranty. Besides, if you want to get technical, most company's warranties are only valid for the original owner, so it isn't under warranty as...

received P150 case in November, ordered the first day it was available on Newegg. Original PSU was 0509, second one was 0509, third one (a.k.a. revised unit), 0511. First two would not power up any of the following boards: The two 0509 units would power up the abit for a few moments, just enough to ...

word. I have the new 150. Quietest drive I've ever owned. Even by touching it , I feel no vibration whatsoever. I continue to be impressed by the drive, and it's precursor, the 74gb model. I am curious, what drives have you owned? Since SPCR has not yet reviewed the drive, I would like some figures...

I have yet to see someone on here do a review of a suspended 150 gb raptor. It supposedly has more noise. the wd raptor is no longer a noisy drive since it is equipped with fluid dynamic bearings. it's more or less as noisy or silent as a samsung spinpoint. word. I have the new 150. Quietest drive ...

That response from Antec tech is BS and they know it. ABIT, INTEL, A BIOSTAR and 2 ASUS MODELS, P4 & AMD. I offered to let them try them at one point, but they declined. HA HA. I posted a ticket in the Antec tech support system, asking: My understanding is that at some point in the last few months, ...

As far as I know, the problems were limited to Asus mainboards, so you should be fine. Current models are (mostly) fixed, anyway. Edit: Oh and lest I forget: Welcome to SPCR! Actually it was not limited to Asus boards, also known to be troublesome with some Abit and Intel models, per my personal ex...

and mine is the first one listed and it idles at 96f.. Those numbers might mean something to someone, but at load with two instances of cpu loading software at the same time I get 128f at highest load. Exit the programs and it drops to 105f within 1 minute and within 2 minutes it's back to 96. That'...

Actually the user manual for the P150 instructs you to use a single full twist. word. It's in the manual to do it that way. If a twist is used, sliding it out from a location to open up isn't going to make it move much, surely not enough to make it snap. What I suspect is happening, is the semi-sha...

hell my a8n sli premium had the original release bios and with the revised psu it powered up fine. BIOS problems , yea more BS. I simply love how they are still trying to say it's an asus specific *and one board model* problem. Shame on Antec for trying to deny something that has been proven over an...
