Awesome bench mate. The PC is coming along nicely.

Nice work shop, and good progress so far.

And Thomas Hardware on Mack Ave. might have something that you can use. They're really a boat hardware store, but they have a ton of stuff.

I've got a question for you guys:

What is faster a ATI 9600XT 256MB or nvidia FX5900 128MB?

I couldnt find a review that compared the two, so I thought someone here would know...

EDIT: I asked my friend who was into graphics cards during those generations. He says that the FX5900XT should be much faster.

After reading up on them, I'm thinking that the 9600 might be better. What about a 9800xt?

Hrm, my friend said the FX5900 and you say the 9600XT...I need a third opinion.

What about a 9800xt?
I wish I had one, but sadly all I've got to chose from are these.

The nvidia one is newer.

The 5900's newer, but also runs hotter - that might be a consideration in that machine.

To be honest, I'd probably put in the 9600XT (assuming the stock heatsink is sufficient - not a Sapphire, is it?) for just that reason. It's not quite as fast, though, and I'm not 100% sure whether it has full (it has at least partial) DX9 support.

Pure fugly beige that deserve to be "beautified"!!! Lol... But wouldn't the HDD be a problem if you need to remove the mobo?

Meh, people have big nice work bench.. I only have my floor
