Could it be my PSU?? Please help

i am now thinking the problem is with the power adn reset switch connectors from the case to the MB. Are these known to ever go bad? IF they are bad, do they sell switches that can be used instead ofn teh ones on the case?

Any opinions on eCost? I ordered some senheiser headphones from them, and got them quickly and in great shape, adn they were almost half the price of anywhere else. SOme prices on some other things seem almost too good to be true, anything wrong with this company, or do they just have great prices??

Went ahead and bought the Entra Two center channel speaker at eCost. This is a great speaker at an amazing price, considering most places charge a ton for shipping speakers. The entra Threes for 133 are a great deal as well.

HOT! Sharp PG-A10X LCD Portable Projector $999 at Costco

I know, i meant component, not composite. You need a vga to 3rca adapter to hook the projector up to a progressive scan dvd player. This will give you the best. Composite on this things sux bad, s-video is ok, but watching a dvd with component blows everything else away.

If you want to see the true clarity that this thing is capable of, use the composite conection, and play a computer animated flick like toy story, monsters inc, shrek, etc. I was amazed at the picture quality and clarity. And, really, 28 days later was a crappy film by crappy british filmakers...

Thanks for the review. So the x1 is probably better for Satellite TV watching, but the sharp works best with a progressive scan DVD player with component video. If you had an HDTV reciever and feed, do you think the x1 would have the look of an HDTV plasma or front projection TV, or would tehy...
