CoolerMaster Stacker 830 Vs. ThermalTake Armor LCS

I know what u mean with the tia chi. And your rite it is a matter of your own taste i guess i gont like the armor cos it hasnt really changed and its to simple for me. The kandalf looks unusual like my case lol. I've got a NZXT LEXA loaged with all of the blue goodies i coould find lol.

Can't w8 to see the finnished product mate. Don't let us down lol.

I have changed my mind on the video card.

So I think I want to get this one because it has TV tuner abilities.

ATI 100-714800 All-In-Wonder Radeon X1900 256MB 256-bit GDDR3 VIVO PCI Express x16 Video Card

However I will be scrapping the crossfire mode if I wanted to add another video card later. I dont know, I just cant justify spending $1100 for 2 video cards.....and do I even need all that acceleration for graphics anyway?

I think I will be ok with this x1900 all-in-wonder. plus its not terribly expensive at $309.00

ideas?

and one question. whats the difference when I see like tons of different vendors selling the same card? EX: Sapphire x1900, Ati x1900 etc............I mean is it the same card? only different name and $$$?

Thanks
Kyle

for the most part, yes they are the same card...it means they have the exact same gpu, but they could have different amounts of ram on 'em....rarely is this the case but i've seen one before. The other defference is the cooling, some have a bigger fan than others :)

usually the mem and gpu overclock is where those extra pennies go
