4GB flash drive $69

Have to say, the microdrive is worthless. Flash memory is very resiliant. My 1 gb microdrive, I dropped from 3 feet up, onto a plush carpet. It was toast. Yes, they are that fragile. Imagine them like small panes of glass, not what you'd consider a useful item for mobile computing.

If I recall David Koresh called himself a christian too... so maybe there are ways that aren't correct. Mankind needs to move beyond the fairy tale of religion.

Chaintech SKT600 ATX Mainboard - $38.00 free shipping

Chaintech SKT600 ATX Mainboard - $38.00 free shipping

not a huge bargain. The machspeed awhile back has similar stats and was only $10. You're buying old tech that would be good for an office comp or a media center pc. Chaintech is usually good with OCing but something like this I doubt has an OCing ablilties.

SOYO Rebate Problem

Soyo generally sends out their rebates if you pester them. But you have to wait a long time before you bother calling them on it. My last soyo rebate showed up after 9 months. I am expecting a few more from them to show up any day now since it has been about that long.

Enermax Noisetaker 475W PS - $75+shipping

yeah... I'm one who would give it a thumbs down. Enermax is bundled in some cases and I've had them die on me. Go with a superflower (ttgi). Relatively inexpensive and very reliable. And for all those case-modders out there, the superflowers just look damn cool most times.
