I just read a review putting the ATI 2900XT up against it's Nvidia rival the 8800 Ultra.

Not surprisingly to me, the 8800 Ultra whooped the 2900XT's butt, but what was a shock was the margin by which the 8800 Ultra lost.

Take this into account:

3DMark06 Scores @ stock settings (1280x1024) and no OCing:

8800 Ultra: 11944
2900XT: 10801
8800 GTX: 10609
8800 GTS: 9528

So I've made the jump to DX10 officially.

I just ordered my XFX 8800GTS 320MB, Evga 680i SLI (A1), and broke my bank for this month.

Anyways, keep a look out for good benchmarks from me in the near future. This new Evga board has some better NB & SB cooling than my stock cooling on the...

So today I was cutting a very small hole in my Lian Li PC-V2000plus for a single tube in my WC setup to pass through.

As I'm cutting, my Dremel starts kicking, sputters, and dies.



Even worse, I figured (having made a deep-groved outline of the cut) I could just use snips to get the piece out before moving on to fixing my Dremel. . . . bad idea. I'll leave it at that.

I haven't been working much on my latest mod (well, if you can even call it a mod), but I have the money now to get the ball rolling again!

What I should receive this week:

OCZ 2GB DDR2-800
3x 36'' SATAII cables

Not much, but I've been really broke lately and trying to save money for a move. Hopefully that is all I will need to get my system back together and running. The other mods I have planed shouldn't require me to take everything out of...
