    i dont think any of their soldering is on show, and that that is isn't bad.... but i have to disagree with them saying a 3-pin header is a molex connector.

    AFAIK,

    a molex is a standard 4-pin PSU connector, and
    the 3-pin one is NOT a molex.

    if i'm wrong someone please correct me

    No, I'm in total agreement with you. I had to double take when I saw it too, so I did some research and the power connectors are indeed listed as Molexes, so we're in the clear.

    Not the first time I've seen wildy incorrect information, look at what http://www.3dcool.com have to say about top exhaust fans:

    Q.) Why don't you install a top fan?
    A.) Anyone selling a case with a top fan never tested for airflow. Top fans disrupt airflow and increase temperatures. You never want a top fan under any scenario!

    Mmm.. bold statement :)

    sorry to backtrack KNA, but i've just been researching myself and Molex are, like, the 3rd largest supplier of electronic interconnects on the planet and as such i guess they make BOTH kind of parts.. molex isnt a connector type, it's a BRAND....

    I did actually know that (no, honest :)) but I kinda looked at it in the way that Vacuum Cleaners are called Hoovers and Velcro is called, well Velcro.. they're mostly well known for the power connectors.

    So we're *all* right, hurrah. :)

    and about OCShoot.....

    in the Tweak windows section...

    so if i have 1 gig of ram i'm gonna have a 2.5 gig VRam file??? I think NOT.

    my reccommendation is to have enought VRam to make up 512 meg altogether... unless you do loads of **** at once, in which case i'd make it 768 meg altogether.

    ... and then you're ****ED if you want to get into safe mode....


    but the rest of the schizz i agree with
