Damn Asus chose not use the 12V line! All the 2.x ones emphasize the 12V line and leave you with 20-25A 5V rails. Was going to use my ThermalTake 750W that's sitting here waiting for Asus Rampage to be released but it's not enough 5V amps. Even refurb sesonic Tornado is too low spec AFAIK asuming I could find one. Looking for last minute shopping deals? Find them fast with Yahoo!

Re: [H] probably a really dumb question
j, Can not help much. My A7N8X-deluxe is powered by a PCPC TC300-slim. It is no longer made. I also have 2 PCPC T51ATX-DX powering my 2 A7N8X-E-deluxe m/bs. They are 510W w/40A on the +5v line. Can not find them either on the PCPC site.. :( I know the PCPC is expensive, but I have has perfect service from them. I have not yet replaced one of the PCPC psus. Several are now 8-10yrs old. You may wish to look at the Seasonic brand also.

Re: [H] probably a really dumb question
I would look for a Sparkle/FSP FSP400-60PFN or FSP400-60GN(12V) or something like that. They offer 40.0A on the +5v rail. I got one off fleabay for $30 a while back for a dual K7 board. Sparkle/SPI/FSP units have always been among the best. As far as Antec, yes, they were awful. Antec PSUs were, for years, OEM'd by CWT. They've since shifted most of their production to SeaSonic for lines such as the TruePower Trio and EarthWatts...I wouldn't mind those, but I've seen many a TPI and TPII with very low +5v rails. Even had a TPI explode. :) I personally wouldn't ever buy anything that wasn't SeaSonic or SPI/FSP OEM'd. Funny thing is that most of the PCPC units were, at least up until the new models post-OCZ acquisition, actually made by SeaSonic (Silencer) or Win-tact (Turbo Cool). Not sure anymore.

Re: [H] Vista class action
The plot thickens. 158 pages of internal Microsoft emails on the matter have turned up as part of the court discovery process. This page has a good overview as well as links to the whole pdf: http://apcmag.com/8344/has_vista_lost_all_credibility Some gems: In the end, however, the need to placate other hardware vendors became a major factor -- particularly Intel, which was keen to keep selling its 915 graphics chipset, which couldn't handle Aero at that point. 'In the end, we lowered the requirement to help Intel make their quarterly earnings so they could continue to sell motherboards with 915 graphics embedded, general manager John Kalkman wrote. It was a mistake on our part to change the original graphics requirements.' In an email to Ballmer, Steven Sinofsky wrote, 'No one really believed we would ever ship, so they didn't start the work until late 2006. This led to lack of availability. For example, my home multi-function printer did not have drivers until 2/2 and even pulled their drivers and re-released them [Brother].' Sinofsky continued, 'Massive changes in the underpinning for video and audio led to a really poor experience at RTM, especially with respect to Windows Media Center. This change led to incompatibilities. For example, you don't get Aero with an XP [graphics] driver, but your card might not (ever) have a Vista driver.' That last one many of us saw coming a mile away, as Microsoft was forced to re-write the entire audio/video subsystem at the last minute to placate the Hollywood crowd and allow for HD playback. --- Brian
Re: [H] Vista class action
Brian, I know the pain about lowering graphics requirements for Vista, I have a MPC that is almost unusable with Vista Premium. Although, plays videos and songs very nicely. Too bad no video games though. My laptop is a XPS Gen 2 and it is still going strong with Vista Ultimate installed (Installed it because of work requirements). The total opposite can be said for my gaming computer. It has Windows Vista Ultimate and it runs just as fast as it did with XP MCD. Of course this computer has upper end gear though. Only thing I am pissed about is Directsound and the inability to decode 5.1 on SD-PIF. But, alas I live with it. I have a question though, were did the e-mails come from? Did Microsoft give them freely or was there a court order for them? I did not remember anything of mentioning that. If they have not been given freely by Microsoft or a court order was used the person that handed them can be charged for theft of the e-mails, since the e-mail belong to Microsoft.

Re: [H] Vista class action
Unknown how the emails were obtained as of yet. All I have read is that they were introduced into the court session as evidence. A few were read out and then the rest were sealed until the session starts up again on Monday. If the judge allowed them to be introduced as actual evidence I would assume that they were obtained legally, but we will have to see.
