OCZ 2GB DDR2-8500 $189.99 AR @FRYS w/Free Shipping

Have you ever gotten a reading on your system? I'm interested in what the peltier is drawing. The Corsair uses an Hitachi main 400V capacitor and all Nippon-Chemicon secondary capacitors. So longevity isn't an issue either. The Corsair is also more efficient than the Silverstone, across the...

OCZ 2GB DDR2-8500 $189.99 AR @FRYS w/Free Shipping

I strongly suggest you buy a Kill A Watt power meter from Newegg. It cost $18. Then put your computer on it and tell me how many watts your power supply is actually drawing. My gaming rig: Abit IN-9 680i 1 500GB Maxtor HD 1 Samsung 18x SATA DVD Corsair 620HX 2GB Mushkin 8500 @ 1066...

OCZ 2GB DDR2-8500 $189.99 AR @FRYS w/Free Shipping

Yes it is. Runs the SLI'ed GTX's with aplomb. Doesn't even get very warm, though the GTX's throw a lot of heat. Had to get a pair of Thermalright HS-03 Plus VGA coolers for them. Too bad I can't post a pic. It looks like there an engine in my case with all the heat pipes.

Antec SmartPower 2.0 500W Power Supply $29.99 AR

Concur on that. My Smartpower 500 flaked out exactly 13 months after I bought it. Weird crap too, all of a sudden my mobo NIC died, though everything booted okay. Bought a PCI Intel NIC, and then it wouldn't boot at all. Turns out it was the PS. I had a spare 350W PS laying around and that cured...

OCZ 2GB DDR2-8500 $189.99 AR @FRYS w/Free Shipping

Yeah, they lowered the price $10 from yesterday, but the $10 rebate (3/16 - 3/23) should still be in effect. Of course they removed the link to it, but I saved it. Your welcome. $10 Rebate, good till 3/23, so $189.99 AR Hmmm, just checked and Fry's seems to be having problems their...

That's $649 Canadian dollars, significantly less than $629 American dollars. Comprendo?

Corsair 620W PS $124.90 AR at ZZF

**edited for clarity** (Sigh. I used to write so much better.) Yes, the Corsair 620W PS only comes with two 6-pin PCIe connectors so one of the XFX 8800GTX's took those. For the other XFX 8800GTX I used two double-molex to PCIe 6-pin adapters from my EVGA 8800GTX. That means that each PCIe...

Corsair 620W PS $124.90 AR at ZZF

That's my exact setup. e6700 oc'ed to 3.2, EVGA 680i, XFX 8800GTX's, 1 HD, 1 OD, 4GB of 1066 OCZ RAM and a LOT of fans = ~420 watts of draw playing COD2 at max graphics settings. Oh and don't worry about the separate rails thing with this PS. If you read the Jonny Guru review you'll see that...

OCZ DDR2 2GB PC8500 DUAL Memory $189.99 AR + Ship

It's actually a BR, which is the version they give you when you've RMA'ed an AR. Funny enough, 5 days after I got it they announced the A1 and T1. So now I'm wait for an A1. Hmm, wonder if they'll call it a B1. My AR was still working but RAM slot 1 died for some reason, though the stick in it...

Mushkin 550W Modular PSU $79.99 AR Free ship 5yr warr, sleeved cable, etc.

Strictly anecdotal, but I had a crazy problem with a SmartPower 500W. The computer (AMD A64 on a DFI Lanparty UT3 250GB) booted fine, but it couldn't see the onboard NIC. I thought the NIC was dead. Went out and bought a PCI Intel NIC and installed that. No boot after installation. OKAY. WTH is...

OCZ DDR2 2GB PC8500 DUAL Memory $189.99 AR + Ship

This way, I can lower the voltage (hopefully) of the ram back down below 1.9V. The EVGA 680i can be spiky for RAM, even voltage tolerant D9's.

OCZ DDR2 2GB PC8500 DUAL Memory $189.99 AR + Ship

I bought a set of these when it was first posted and I recently bought a set of the OCZ DDR2-8800 (PC2-1100) Gold, for a total of 4Gb in an EVGA 680i system, which is not very RAM friendly. Running linked and synced at 800, 2.05V, with an e6400 humming along at 3.2 GHz. I had been running...

Corsair 620W PS $124.90 AR at ZZF

Highly rated 620W PS, can run 8800GTX's in SLI, which I do. My wall power meter only reads a 420 watt draw (e6700, Abit IN9 680i, 1 HD, 1 OD, 5 x 120mm fans, 3 x 92mm fans, 1x 40mm fan, 2x 50mm fans), so the 620W Corsair puts out plenty. In that range it's also very efficient, 80% or better on...
