Yorkfield build

Thanks for the advice, the Gigabyte motherboard looks good, and you guys must be mind readers because I ordered an eVGA 8800GT yesterday (going to try it out in my current system while waiting for the CPU). I've used eVGA's step-up program before (7800GT to 7800GTX in my current system, a...

Hot again?? Dell 2405 LCD for under $950 shipped...

To anyone who has one of these: does it have a fan? My Sony 23" has a fan that annoys me now that my PC is almost silent. If this one didn't have a fan (or it had one that was inaudible) I'd consider picking up the Dell and selling the Sony.

Spyware remover -- FREE (donation requested) Spy-Bot

I've used SpyBot and AdAware and I think SpyBot is the clear winner. The Immunize feature in SpyBot 1.2 prevents most of the bad stuff from getting saved to my hard drive in the first place, which seems like a useful feature so far.

LCDs that can do 1600x1200?

The Dell 2000fp has a native resolution of 1600x1200. I know this because I am using one right now at that resolution, driven by a DVI cable (connected to a LeadTek geForce3 ti500). This monitor is amazing, even if you ignore the price. If you take the price into account (I paid $1330), it's...

Get a PS2. Most, if not all, the XBox games will be available for your PC (and will run better on your PC, if it's decent) in some shape or form.
