I would definitely choose Corsair VX550W, it's cheap with 5 year warranty. Some 600 Watt PSU's would not be enough to run with one 8800GT or 8800GTS. It depends on how good the PSU is and the Amps on the +12V rail are very good. If you plan to use SLI, the GPU power requirements of the 8800GT's in SLi are 183W (Idle) and 358W (Load In F.E.A.R.) and ~38Amps on the +12V Rail. To clarify, that's total system power consumption. The 8800GT itself only uses about 110-120W of power each at max load. A Q6600 is another 100W or so. The rest of this system will take about another 150W total in a worst-case scenario, so ideally you're really going to use about 370W of power in a worst-case scenario unless you overclocks the heck out of that CPU/Video Card. Since that's about 80% on the +12V rail, you're going to need something with at least 32-35A on the +12V rail, and the VX550 should be perfect. You never want to load the PSU to 100% load because the fan will be spinning up too fast and loud and the components' lifespans will be shortened by running near their capacity. But 3/4 of the max load is fine, and at idle I imagine you'll use only 1/3 of that, or about 10-12A on the +12V. I will first answer your question about MBO and SLi. I chose Asus since I had Asus P4C800Deluxe MBO with my old system (which I sold now). I was more than satisfied with it and it was stable for 4 years along with OC of P4. Asus P5E has a new x38 chipset and supports PCIE 2.0 While I was deciding what to choose for my PC, I planned that I'll go SLi sometime in the future, but decided that I won't after all. The main reason is that GPU industry is developing very fast and I'd rather buy a new card in one year than buy another OLD card to have SLI. The question is to whom will I sell that 2 cards after two years.. (That's just my opinion). So, I won't use SLi and that's why I didn't care will my board support SLi. For instance, and to comment your selection of graphic card, I bought XFX 8800GTS, 640 MB card and was happy for one day although I didn't unpack it yet. I've found out that a new 8800GT was out the other day, which was 150$ cheaper, faster and better than my 8800GTS.. Here are some links that should help you choose 8800GT instead of 8800GTS: http://www.firingsquad.com/hardware/nvidia...nce/default.asp http://www.anandtech.com/video/showdoc.aspx?i=3140&p=1 http://www.vr-zone.com/articles/Nvidia_GeF...iew/5369-1.html http://www.hothardware.com/articles/NVIDIA..._Flight/?page=1

LOL... :icon_cool:

But don't you guys have username and password saved, so you just need to click OK to login? Anyway, that's two of you now which will find this option disabled very useful..

Although it's less secure to have this option disabled, I've did it for you.. If you get better connection in time, please let me know

Fixed.

cool!

Nice, although my opinion isn't actual since I currently have Conjuctivitis and have problems with brightness.. :crying_anim02:

Blue themes are too bright IMO.. Too bad that you can't retain windows and taskbar transparency with it.. Black theme is nice, although very similar to original Vista theme.. Anyway, nice work Vishal. :prop:

Downloading, thank you.. :thumbsup_anim:

Well Makave, I'd suggest you to take machine similar as my new machine that I still haven't put together.. MBO ASUS P5E, X38/ICH9R Intel Core 2 Quad Q6600 BOX, (4

Yes, I'm glad we have so many knowledgeable people here. Better and better each day :icon_cool:

Nice work mate, a lot of new addons from you. Congratz on the new member status.. :icon_cool:

Off Topic: Do you already have a new Unreal Torunament 3?

Well, I really don't know how they did it, but obviously they succeded in stealing Wolf's skin from WinCert.net http://gloucesterlane.com/

Will it the new PNG fade out like the default skin?

Thx guys, I will use them :icon_cool:

BTW, a noob question, how do I change the sidebar skin on Vista? :confused02:

I like the system properties pic :icon_cool:

Nice work mate, moved the topic to a proper section..

Awesome post mate, will be sticked.. :thumbsup_anim:

Hi Vishal Gupta, I'm glad that I see you here.. I recently started to be more active at Microsoft Community newsgroups and your name is very known to me.. I've also visit your site often.. Hopefully you'll stick with us and help us to make this community even better.. Thx..

Do we have a new addon maker on wincert? :icon_cool:

Hi guys, I recently watched the Chaos movie and I liked it a lot. I also liked the music at the end of the movie from TREVOR JONES-CHAOS theme.. But....I can't find that song anywhere, anyone can help me? Seems that I'm not the only one http://www.muchmusic.net/node/4284 I've found the link but it's only cut from the divx, it's not proper mp3, but you can listen to it..
