Sorry for the noobing, but I'm getting a bit frustrated with MSI's documentation, or lack thereof. I've waiting far too long in the grand scheme of things to actually implement a RAID in any of my systems, and now that I want to, it appears I don't know what I'm doing.

Finally doing a new system build, since my opty 185 is just not cutting it anymore. (Yes that's a socket 939, yes I know it's long overdue). Dropping my pair of Zalman edition XFX 8800gt, and looking for a single card to start the new build with, but while i used to stick with bfg, evga, and...
Just saw the shell shockers today and there's actually something worthwhile.
Antec 900, (w/ USB 3) for 59.99 AR. Only a few hours left though.

Paying $200 shipped. I don't need HSF, just the processor. If it's had its heat spreader removed, I'll need the shims to go with, but that's not a deal-breaker.

Did they just go extinct? A week or 2 ago I was considering buying one on newegg, comparing with TD and ZipZoomFly... now everyone's backordered or removed it from their catalogue completely. Anyone know where I can find one without ebaying it? (Ebay's a last resort)
Newegg has a rebate on this till the 25th. They stopped advertising the rebate but the form is still valid this weekend... and they're offering free shipping.

What should I be getting under full load? SpeedFan seems to think I'm hitting 79C. (At which point my system hangs, waits for 10 seconds, runs ok for 10 seconds while the GPU cools, repeats)
What are normal operating temps (load and idle) for this card?
Current Idle is 50C and Load (hang) is 79C
I'm running an
Asus A8N SLI Premium with Corsair 3GB DDR400 (4G underclocks to 333)
Athlon 64 3700+ ("San Diego' but really a locked Venice IIRC)

Worked in a repair shop for a few years, got used to this recovery software... top of the line in my book. So I went to buy myself a copy...
$500
So... anyone got a cheaper but still similarly effective data recovery solution?
I picked up a set of Corsair XMS 2x1024.
Advertised Settings of 2-3-3-6 at 2.75v (high isn't it?)
Anyway, As one would expect, the board didn't pick it up immediately and I had to set the timings and voltage manually. It is EXTREMELY unstable with these settings and throws memtest errors in...
Oh bugger.
Got the thing up and running, but I still have some weird stuff going on. I'm getting "Device cannot start (Code 10)" in device manager on all of the following:
1x Marvell Yukon 88E8001/8003/8010 PCI Gigabit Ethernet Controller
2x OHCI Compliant IEEE 1394 Bus host controller...
I've been reading up on a64 CPU's and I saw that AMD is offering a San Diego core 3700+ and a Toledo core 3700+ both as single-core CPU's. As I understand it Toledo cores are dual-core, so does that mean that the second core is just lying dormant on that chip? If so, can it be re-enabled? (ala...
I'm looking to sell some parts of my gaming rig, and perhaps sell the whole thing as a pakage if someone wants it that way. I'm selling the whole thing in my shop atm, so I reserve the right to declare it sold at any time. I think I'll put the 6800OC in it if I sell it in the shop.
No...
It's late, I'm tired, but I think I got a sweet idea.. figured I'd throw it out there and see what yall think.
One of the biggest problems with removing the IHS on an A64 CPU is that the core is prone to cracking/chipping due to the pressure exerted by the HS.
If one were to leave the...
Looking at grabbing this for my rig, A7N8X Deluxe, Barton Oc'd to 2.2, 6800 Ultra.
Is this a worthwhile deal or is there something I'm not seeing?

Preliminary Stuff
I have ebay feedback under Nate_Purdin and an empty heatware acct, but I had to start one to leave feedback.

I'm having a helluva time finding the []RAM I need for my system.
I need a 512MB stick of COLOR=DarkRedSingle-sided [/COLOR] DDR (2100-3200, I don't care as all I can use is 2100). The CL on my current RAM is 2.5, so I think it would be wise to get more of that, not sure.
My board is an...
Just need a replacement for my 60mm case fan that gave up the ghost. 3-pin connector, with speed sensor if possible. I'm looking for something in the 20ish CFM range and as quiet as possible.
I saw the reviews and I'm lookijng at the new Panaflo 60mm Low-speed ones with speed sensors. Any...
Before I OC the FSB on my A7N266-c, I wanna know if the board has AGP and PCI locks, since I'm running a 6800 Ultra OC, and I doubt if that chip can take much more before it pops. Anyone know off-hand if this board has locks, or how I can find out?
Thanks
I think I done a bad thing here guys.. but I have no idea what it was. Been needing to add a USB 2.0 card to my Asus A7N266-c, and finally got the card last nite. FIgured while I had the case open I would switch my audigy for the ACR Sound card that came with the mobo. Now here's my problem...
I'm building a Pc for my little bro who's going off to college, looking for something that will last a long time, without putting all insanely priced hardware in now.. something with.. shall we say.. "forward compatibility". Anyone have a suggestion for a mobo to base this system on?
Does thermaltake still use the same tool for lapping as is used for for spiral-cutting hams?
I was just looking on my old Volcano 6cu and saw a really rough spiral on the conductor surface. Looking at getting another Thermaltake, but the new Quiet one, the Silentboost RX K7. Anyone know if...
I need a new Graphics card, without buying a new system. I have an AGP Pro 4x slot and a spare PCI slot. Curious if there's anything worth buying for a 4x slot, or even for a PCI slot. I'm looking for something in the NVIDIA 6600GT Chipset, just wanted to get a bit of input.
Thanks in advance
