Sounds like good advice. I'll let you know if Antec responds.

Antec 300 Power Button

I've had this case for ages and it's still going strong, with one exception. Recently the power switch was pushed in. I pulled the cover off the case and the switch itself works just fine, but one of the clips that secures it to case front has broker off. Not even sure what to call this black...

Photo catalog software

Lightroom is indeed a great program, but it is probably overkill for what the OP is asking about. However, I believe there is a 30 day free trial. Check it out and see what you think.

World of Warcraft question

Grinding and questing are very solo friendly. The endgame isn't, but just let the endgame be the, well, end. Unfortunately this can leave the casual player feeling shafted, as ggnl points out. There are minor story lines to the game, but not a core story line that gives you a sense of...

Are gamers the master race?

While I agree that the age old gamer stereotype doesn't hold up, I'd still say a fair bit of skepticism is in order on this "study." For instance: "the average gaming household income ($79,000) is notably higher than that of nongaming households ($54,000)" Household income is a bit misleading...

Photo catalog software

Picasa should work for you. It's free from Google. Just tag all the images you want to print with something like "print" and the you will be able to search for this later.

Foam for HDD RMA, where can I buy it?

@Zap I have the instructions as I've already submitted my normal RMA. Now I just need to ship it. I was thinking carpet pad since it is essentially 1/4" or 1/2" foam sheet. I could just cut it to fit the box and do layers. Not sure of the price until I go to Home Depot.

Foam for HDD RMA, where can I buy it?

I didn't think the Advanced RMA was worth it. This is a 300GB drive, so I think it is worth replacing so long as I can do it for a low sum of money. Unfortunately there isn't a WalMart in the immediate area so I will have to wait until the weekend rather than face the parking lot that is the 405...

Foam for HDD RMA, where can I buy it?

Does anyone one know of a good source for the 2" foam required to RMA a Seagate HDD? I'd like to get this out soon, so online is not an option. I've checked out Staples, Office Depot, and Home Depot online. They don't seem to have anything. You used to be able to find the egg crate style...

Advice on upgrading my rig

Trigger pulled. Now the long wait for the free 3-5 day shipping. I will report back once it all gets put together and is hopefully running smoothly.

Sapphire Radeon HD 4850 512MB.....$149/ar

I'm not into LEDs and windowed cases, so I could care less if it is ugly. What matters to me is does it perform better and cooler.

Does anyone know how it compares to the Palit 4850? The Palit is about $10 cheaper.

Advice on upgrading my rig

Roguestar Thanks again. Looks like I will be pulling the trigger tomorrow if I can get the time at work. I will do a final price check and trawl of the hot deals forum. I'm really looking forward to the upgrade.

Photographers Choice LCD

Honestly, if your not printing or producing work for print then you really don't need a photo-quality monitor. In fact you probably don't even need to use a spyder to callibrate. I think there is freeware out there that will get you close enough just by eyeballing it. Remember that 99.9% of...

Photographers Choice LCD

Do you need high quality, color corrected prints or print worthy files to send to clients for publication? Are we talking print publications or online? If you are dealing with magazines or fine art you will not find a worthy LCD in your price range. If you are printing at home on a high-end...
