    Anyone remember the soyo rebates from 2.5 years ago?

    Today, I got a surprise check from Soyo -- remember the 2 FAR motherboards from 2004 where everyone got fucked on the rebates? Well, got my check today, after two and a half years. Oddly enough, I had already gotten them to send me $65 back when the issue was still current, but the check today...

    New Boot Drive Recommendations?

    Basically, my boot drive -- a WD800JB, started clicking like hell, and it ran out of warranty several months ago. I'll go get a new drive on Monday. I'm needing something as cheap as possible, and size isn't really a big issue, as all that goes on this drive is programs and the OS...

    Needed: Big case.

    Recommend me a big damn case. I've got 3 hard drives, 4 optical drives, and 2 PSUs. I've currently got an Antec SLK2600AMB, and it's way too small. The power connector on my video card makes it almost impossible for me to get the IDE cable connected to one of my hard drives -- that's how...

    Is Video Card the bottleneck here?

    See specs in sig (main rig) I'm getting 1650ish 3DMark 03... Is this entirely due to the video card, or am I missing something? I'm thinking it is. What would I likely get with a 9800 Pro? In the upper 5K's?

    Good price for Canon A70?

    Looking around for the best deal on the Canon A70, I found it at NewEgg for $268. One of the combos is the Lexar 96MB 12x CF card for $28, but it puts on a $40 discount when added. So, 268+28-40=256. Free shipping on all of that. Is this a good deal? Could I find better?
