Pretty sure it has :) If I'm lucky I'll get a Radeon HD 4850 as a replacement, 'cause the 740mhz Alpha Dog Edition of my 9600gt has been discontinued :D The 4850 is a lot more powerful, but the support guy didn't seem to know or mind. We'll see what I get once it arrives from their return...

I finally found the problem; for real this time. I took my graphics card to a friend's place and tried it in his computer. Because of his traditional case design, the cooling conditions were a lot better, and I nearly gave up after 3 hours of testing different games on high settings. Dead Space...

Well, crap. Yeah, crap. It wasn't the audio card. I thought I had confirmed it by leaving a game on overnight, but apparently the scene didn't put enough stress on the system. It's still shutting down. Let's get to the bottom of this. It's not the motherboard or the cpu, because both have...

It turns out it was the sound card all along; the problem persisted despite a new motherboard and processor, but stopped when I removed the Audigy 2. I should have figured, as it's quite old by now. Had I tried removing the it earlier -- which I REALLY should have >.> -- I might not have...

I got tired of waiting and ordered the Asus P5N7A-VM instead; it's got good reviews and I like its layout. It's newer than the P5E, so it's got more features, but it's also less tested. Here's hoping there'll be no nasty surprises :P

I'm well aware of the quality of the Antec PSU -- I wouldn't have bought the case otherwise. Mine might be broken, however, and rather than going through the motions of getting a replacement (time > money), I was considering getting a high-efficiency modular PSU. We'll see what happens when I'm...

Well, I'm sorry; I was under the impression it used a smaller PSU. No need to be snarky.

Does anyone know if there are any good third party PSUs that fit in the Antec Fusion HTPC case?

I would also like to hear more about your experience with this board. I've been on the hunt for a good mATX for a while now, and this looks like a proper contender. I especially like how there's basically nothing behind and to the left of the PCI-E port, leaving good space for a dedicated...

I'm sorry; I'm a jackass: it's the south bridge heat sink that's loose. Could this still be the source of my problem? I noticed something else that is strange, however. When I plug an usb device (doesn't matter what kind) into the front usb connector of the case, the system is prone to reboot...

I'm having trouble with my HTPC, and before I go about replacing parts, I want to run it by you guys. First off, its specs: • Antec Fusion case (430w power supply) • AMD x2 4850e 65w • 2x2GiB RAM (Kingston KHX6400D2K2) @ specced 5-5-5-15 1.8v • XFX GeForce 9600GT 740M • Audigy 2 Platinum...

I want to upgrade the components in my Antec Fusion HTPC case (currently an AMD x2 4850e, 4GiB RAM, 9600GT, Gigabyte GA-MA78GM-S2H), as it's a bit on the slow side and I think the motherboard is malfunctioning. I was thinking I'd start with a new motherboard and processor, with the E8400 /...
