recommend me a clean, classy looking case - $50-100

Antec Solo: This doesn't seem to meet the OP's requirements. First, the hd mounting systems are not toolless unless you use the bands (which may work for the OP given their statements, but the bands don't really satisfy me for securely mounting hd's) and the other system utilizing individual...

Intel's legal woes...

As for which has the higher proportion of GNU/Linux instances in the wild (x86 vs x86_64), I really don't know and haven't seen any statistics on the subject (I haven't looked, either). I'd guess x86, but not for the reasons you stated: A) The drivers in the kernel source tree are open source...

newegg just...(aka I cant read)

ah yes, the revolving rebate fiasco at newegg. triple check & bookmark their "rebate form archive" page thing... if you can even find it. They're not screwing anyone I don't think, it's just one thing you have to really triple check before mailing it in since they have *tons* of rebates where...

All Barcelona Shipments Halted

As more pieces of the Hindenburg catch fire and explode and the crew jumps ship, it's refreshing to see someone explain away each incident as 'ordinary.' :)

Will a quality ~$120 PSU now be outdated 2-3 years from now?

Assuming they don't come out with a 16-pin pci-e connector and such soon, you should be alright with any new psu of worthwhile quality (such as the corsair & seasonic mentioned).

MY ending with AMD

I think they lost somewhere around $2.1billion in the last 4 consecutive quarters (Q4.06 Q1.07 Q2.07 Q3.07 ), though this last one wasn't as bad (~400mil vs. ~600mil for the preceeding three). This quarters report should be interesting, given that the barcelona launch that was supposed to be a...

8800 GT = Biggest paper launch of 2007???

paper launch? Far too many people have these cards in their hands for this to be called a paper launch. This card's performance for its price is insane, and it's price-point is low enough that a lot of non-hardcore enthusiasts are looking to get one, so it's no wonder the demand for it is...

AT's Phenom review up (11/19)

I think everyone knew what the article was going to say months before it was written. What I didn't expect to see was comments like "The reason you're finding this rant in here today is because I am concerned for the future of the company." Comments like this from respected reviewers is very...

AMD To sell Fab 38 to TSMC?

my guess is they're shedding as much dead-weight as possible in preparation for their acquisition by IBM in another quarter or two, as per my prediction some months ago :P My predictions aside, you just can't bleed the kind of money AMD has been bleeding for four consecutive quarters and not do...

64-bit Linux and 32-bit apps

Depends on the distro. Fedora is about the only I've personally used that doesn't fall on its face in this regard and require chroots or exotic configure arguments, though at the expense of having two copies of a lot of rpms installed (one x86_64, the other i386; and you can't get around this...
