Purchased a BFG 9800GTX w/512MB of frame buffer space for $199.99 at Fry's. Now I need to get an upgrade on my old dedicated sli ps unit which I have on order now, the Thermaltake W0158RU. Apparently these GPU's require around 24~26a of current

Adding onto my recent Graphics Card purchase I also did the following: Antec Quad-Power 1KW PS Unit. Trendnet 8-port Gigabit Switch with dozen CAT6 Patch cables of various lengths and colors. And not really something I purchased unless you count the Intel Gigabit PCI NIC, but I was given a Maxspeed Thin Client awhile back for free and created a pfSense VPN Router out of it. If anyone has ever used this distro before then you know it's based on BSD and some Monowall technology. Now I need to tweak it some more

well .... i bought a new laptop .. HP... CQ40 ... but there's sth wrong with it .. so sad .. Bummer, here's to getting this replaced promptly then  I also upgraded my gaming rig, installed some more memory for a total of 8GB's of DDR2/800 using all Kingston HyperX sticks. I then got a pair of Samsung, Spinpoint, 1TB SATA drives and installed them on the remaining onboard SATA ports and then created a 2TB RAID Zero array. Installed Windows 7 RC1, 7100 and away I went. Dual Booting with Vista x64 on one RAID Array and Windows 7 on the other array...

Bought 6 2TB HD's to replace the 6 1TB HD's in my home file server. Went from ICH10 RAID5 to ZFS RAIDZ2
Also went from Windows 2008 Server to FreeNAS.
Finally finished copying 4TB of data back to it last night. How's tha new RAID controller working out and the FreeNAS ??? Are you using gigabit LAN or fiber channel ???

Just a nice mid-range 790GX Motherboard with the SB750 Southbridge. I'm going to use my older MSI board for my fathers upgraded system soon, just need to get a decent CPU, PS Unit/Case and GPU.

Bought 2 1GB PCI express cards for my XPS M1330 (Only has 100Meg NICS that are flaky as hell).
File transfers to my server are now fast and reliable!
Thinking about getting that ATI 5870..... Good job on replacing the faulty nic's and I've been looking at the new Radeon Cards too
