I had a WD crash on me before years and years ago, so I had been using Maxtors (very pleased with them), but I can't knock my WD Raptors, so WD got my vote.

I've never seen a power supply that just stopped working all together. They usually just half die, providing enough power to turn on some lights and spin the fans a bit. That's not ruling out CPU either, but it's just that the power supply is the easiest part to troubleshoot. I also experienced simi...

BTW, I was running some SP2 beta before I reformatted. Something that hasn't been touched on much yet is Windows Update v5. It's basically v4 except it looks different and requires you to enable some of those services you've disabled.

Actually, the 5600 was the original top-end loud-arse biotch. The 5700 is a very new iteration of their now mainstream product.

Under $250, a 5900 is definitely your best bet, especially since it can be flashed to a 5950 Ultra (even though it lacks 256MB).

Go with an MSI card too. Great RMA policy, and, best of all, their cards don't say "OMG!1 I'M A GEFORCE XX with N MB OF VIDEO RAM" for 10 seconds when you reboot like all the others (it's the little things).
