^ yeah that. Man, this board was so close to being perfect. Now it's gonna be a tough decision between the ASUS and this board. Firewire or superior chipset? Quite the rough trade-off for me, considering, I really need that firewire port. :(
Hey yang, do you still post on NBF or SR? I'm...
This board looks very promising. Although a question I have for sleepeeg or pvhk, does this thing have a firewire connector on it so I can hook it up to a front panel or anything? Having access to at least 1 firewire port is pretty important for me.
Is the airflow in that case really that bad? It's one of my favorites, and while the cooling system does look a bit outdated, I still haven't seen a case where I like the style of better then the TJ-03. I wanted to get one of these when I had the money :(

Hmm, I ordered this morning and the $10 off code worked, but now when I tried to put the code in again on a different e-mail, it no longer works, just says: Although you've entered a valid promo code, your order does not currently meet the code's usage criteria.
Does this mean that the deal...
Also, semi-old news from like a month ago said that preliminary testing of the phenom showed awful results. I'm sure AMD will work this out by launch though, since they really need it.
Hmm, you may need a new PSU. That x1950 is gonna suck a lot of power.
EDIT: If you are looking for a solid PSU at a nice price, this Enhance PSU should work: http://www.ewiz.com/detail.php?name=PS-E5150GH
That Enhance PSU looks pretty good.
EDIT: Does anyone have experience with the Antec NeoHE series of PSU's? I found a picture of the UL number, and apparently, it is made by seasonic, which is a good thing. :) I'm just hoping they use decent caps in there so the PSU doesn't blow up.
Fry's...
Alright, so my dad is going to buy a new computer for himself, and it will most likely be running these components in it:
AMD Athlon X2 4800+ (Not going C2D b/c AMD is way cheaper at this point)
ABIT AN52 Mobo
2 x 40 gb PATA HDD pulled from the old system (He doesn't need more space then...
