Connect3D 9600XT

Does that card come with HL2? It's a retail box, so I imagine it should. If so, that's what I'm getting.

Posted in the other thread about this, but I figure what the hell. :P Did anyone sign up for the Dell e-mail newsletters today, and get the coupon soon after? I signed up a short while ago, and I'm desperately hoping to get the coupon before my 1800FP order (put in two days ago) is ready to...

Small PC cube cases?

Yeh, Dave, actually, that's kind of what I personally would find appealing; I could live with a little taller and wider to get the proportions even. I was kind of hoping there might be one out there, but you're right - most people who buy these are looking for the smallest possible case. How...

Small PC cube cases?

Are there any small, truly cubical cases for the PC? The Soldam Pandora line is a bit closer than the Shuttle Anandtech just reviewed: Pic of Soldam case But it's still elongated, and costs a million dollars. I really like the idea of these PCs, especially mixing the aluminum and acrylic...

Doboji the raving democrat says: YEAH BUSH!!!! GO BUSH!!!!

Right Wing Nuts want to subvert Supreme Court Justice nomination process...film at 11!

It's interesting that this wasn't a high priority for the Christian Coalition (or especially the Republican Senate) when Clinton was president. Heh, they weren't even pushing for this a couple of weeks ago before Jeffords switched. But now that the Senate is Democratic, it's all "ohhh...

How do you punish your children? *update with retort*

It's my understanding that there is no evidence whatsoever that beating/spanking your kids causes them to behave better. There *is* evidence that using positive reinforcement creates better behaved, better adjusted kids in the long run. There was an article recently in the Skeptical Inquirer...

Karl Rove: The first dirtbag thrown out of the White House?

I think most Bush critics here aren't trying to make this a "Dems are better than Repubs" issue; rather, for me anyways, it's a "what GW said to get elected" vs. "what GW actually does." If it's the truth that nearly all politicians engage in ethically questionable...
