9800 Pro will run fine on a 250-watt power supply. It comes with a seperate power tap not because the card is overly power hungry, but because some motherboards had problems supplying proper voltage to it across the AGP bus.
The 9800 Pro is a bargain at current close-out pricing and the...
Hmm, not sure where to point you, saxguy. I have the MSI RS480M2-IL. It's a socket 939 microatx motherboard based on the ATI Radeon Xpress 200 chipset. It's full-featured and should fit nicely in the Aria case. It comes with the Xpress 200 integrated graphics processor, but there isn't any...
Hmm, those red rubber disks are normally made of a non-conductive material. They shouldn't have shorted your board directly.
You did make an incorrect assumption, however. Your motherboard should be screwed directly to hex nuts that screw into the motherboard mounting plate. A good solid...
Consider the MSI RS480M2-IL.
It's a socket 939 motherboard with Radeon Xpress 200 integrated graphics as well as 16x PCI-E graphics support.
This is good from your standpoint because the integrated graphics supports ATI's Cinema Display mode. The IGP will work in conjunction with your...
I can't imagine you'd be dissatisfied with either model. Viewsonic and Samsung both make superb CRT displays (as well as LCD).
I did find an awfully sweet deal at Newegg, the Iiyama Vision Master 1451. It's a flat screen 19" CRT priced at $136 plus $25 shipping:

Make sure you download the Doom 3 1.1 patch. I remember my Radeon 9700 had a lot of rendering isssues with the Doom 3 Demo when it was first released. ID actually released a demo patch for ATI users that fixed it.
My 9700 ran Doom 3 just fine at lower resolutions, but I decided to upgrade...
ATI's last quarterly profits were actually larger than Nvidia's, and both companies are quite healthy. ATI's future earnings potential is also quite rosey:
1) XBox 360 chip supplier
2) Ramp up in desktop and notebook chipset business
3) Introduction of ATI multicard rendering solutions...
I have an Athlon 64 3000+ Winchester (1.8Ghz) CPU on an MSI RS480M2-IL motherboard and a Radeon X800XL PCI-E video card.
I have been working on a couple of PCs, and I swiped a stick of PC3200 DDR out of my main PC to test another system. I was hesitant to button up my main gaming machine...
Oh man, I'm such a spaz!!!
I read this over at the Inquirer, and it never said it was a Socket 939 board, I just ASSUMED that it was:

ASUS is reported to be shipping their new P5RD1-V Radeon Xpress 200 motherboard for socket 939 Athlon 64 processors. This new board is radically different from MSI's (excellent) RS480M2-IL motherboard in a number of ways:
-Lots of overclocking features implemented in system bios
-Full ATX...
Don't count out the ATI Radeon Xpress 200 motherboards. I bought the MSI RS480M2-IL back in February and it's been terrific. I have a Winchester 3000+ and a Radeon X800XL on it. It benches slightly faster than any NF4 Ultra boards that I've seen numbers for with the same components.
