Lian-li PC65

Do you think the V1100B would be a better choice? I am just looking for a good quality case that offers decent cooling and perferably has a window.

Lian-li PC65

In the manual for the MoBo it says it is ATX Form Factor 12in x 9.6in (30.5cm x 24.4cm) i thought by the looks of the case the hard drives had to go in the bottom cage. So I could take that cage out and put the 2 hard drives and the floppy drive in the top cage?

The thing is AVG hardly ever updates thats what has me worried. I mean Kaspersky updates every hour. I was lucky to get AVG to update 3 times a month. As for email I use Outlook 2000. I have a MSN Email address so I dont think I can configure that to work with thunderbird can you?

So do you think with a firewall, and safe web habits it would be ok to just run the free programs instead of paying for virus and firewall protection? I use FireFox exclusivly unless I have to use IE. I dont go to porn or crack sites, I basically just go to forums, ebay, and shopping when I...

What is so bad about the registration of AVG? I am currently using it and Kerio Firewall and have never had a problem with anything maybe I should just stick to this combo and forget about paying for protection

How hard is Kaspersky to remove if I try the trial and then I dont like it or find the incapatabilty of some games? Also I have always steered clear of trial version stuff because of the registry tracks left. Does this pose a real problem and is there a program that cleans out the registry of...

Your review has it in the mid 20's which seems kind of high compared to NOD but NOD32 scored well on one test and bad on another. The thing that scares me with KES is that I have read where it interfeared with some games but that was one revision ago. Not sure if this still persists with the new...

9800 pro 128 to 6800GT?

Well I might go higher on the res but I have never had a card that would do more than that at any game and I am not sure my monitor would support any higher either. Does the Gt have all the same features as the ULTRA but with just lower core and clock speeds or does the ULTRA contain some...

I have decided I am going to either get a 6800Gt or Ultra. I was gonna go with a overpriced X800XT PE till I seen where it didnt suppourt Pixel Shader 3.0 and the Ultra does so I am sure the Ultra would be more future proof. Only thing I dont like is that it requires a 480W PS and mine is...

I dont really think my 9800 is running up to snuff. I have benchmarked it several times and I dont really get close to what other people are getting. In doom 3 with 1280x940 I am only getting like 25fps on high settings. I think it should perform bettter than that. i did have it OC'd for a...

I am very serioulsy considering upgrading my video card from the 9800 Pro 128 to a BFG 6800GT. What do you guys think would this be a big difference or isnt it worth money to upgrade to that card yet? Also do you think the 6800GT could last about 1.5 years before the next upgrade?

Thanks guys, I did a complete reinstall of windows and it seems to be working fine. As for the Virus and Firewall I always install those before I put in my internet connection. I use McAffe Virus Protection and Firewall. Probably not the best but its what I got.
