Gainward 4870GS and Sapphire 4870 Toxic seems like a solid card.

I personally think the cooler which blow to the side (IceQ4) is not that efficient compare to those blow both side (4850GS). Any thought?

Hard to say, but anyone with both cards can try it out?  rclxms.gif Though, make sure it isn't a one sided review  notworthy.gif

Well, because I saw most after market cooler is not utilize side blowing fan except for AKASA. But I might be wrong.

600W with 75++% efficiency. Um. What's wrong with Vantec PSU anyway? I like the sleeves  rolleyes.gif

Nothing wrong with the Vantec. I was actually planning to get Vantec 550W but I can't find any review about it and no one in LYN give me any feedback about this PSU, so I just skip it.

To me it seems like a solid PSU with a very affordable price. And yeah, I love the blue sleeve cables too. smile.gif

Heard that MSi 4850 Quad-PiPE most coolest 4800series in town. 39c(standby), while 57c(load).
Anyone try this one? Planning to get this baby.  laugh.gif  flex.gif
MSi 4850 QUAD-PIPE
*
The heatsink is much smaller than Gainward 4850GS but the fan is bigger; Gainward 65mm vs MSI 80mm. But Gainward is custom PCB with better VRAM chips while MSI Quad Pipe is reference card with better cooler. I would go for Gainward anytime since Gainward is a GC company which MSI is not exclusively GC company.

1 terabyte is quite affordable now. the fastest hdd is ssd now, but, it is almost beyond the reach of normal consumers.
for the comparison of nvidia vs ati, please google it and see the performance.
or just dig out this thread, or click on netraid's links.

1 TB HHD is good but once it kaput then all your 1TB data also kaput with it. smile.gif
SO, I prefer to buy 2 HDD instead of 1.

HD4850 got Tv-out right? Actually can I buy the cable or perhaps extension around 5 metres to connect it to my TV? Will the signal lost or anything?

4850 does not have  tv out (although it looks like 1) ...thats for the component out to use 1..if not mistaken the head is different.
*
That is S-video is not mistaken and I tried using S-Video to connect to my TV before. (using geforce3 last time) Only Video signal and no audio. But last time the cable I use is 1Metre only. So I was wondering 5M can or not?

Play games in TV is like play games on PS3 ma. I want to try DCM4 on TV. smile.gif

even if can, the cable to long will result in delay in getting the video from the gpu/pc. so totally not recommended bro, +dmc4, looks damn good on  tv thumbup.gif although i would recommend using hdmi smile.gif window output setting only need to change if using Vista if not mistaken.
*
So, using HDMI can it be long cable such as 5 metres? Hmmm, I think I need to do more googling on this. smile.gif

Ya agree it will result delay, try using 10 meter long DVI cable (maybe more longer rolleyes.gif )  before. There's lack about few second to transfer the frame to the far away LCD monitor, but still in acceptable range.
DMC4 really nice for playing if able play on large TV, plus if you have the xbox controller. Haha i just try it on my 24 inch LCD with the xbox wireless controller, feeling like play xbox tongue.gif lotiman2003 bro, you should try the controller if u play on TV smile.gif

Thx for the reply, I was planning to buy a USB adapter for my PS2 dual shock 2 controller to play games. (But not sure whether it is supported in Vista)

yeah, hdmi no problem..+ quality superb rclxms.gif once and a while use pc connected to lcd for some movie or gaming biggrin.gif

So, you mean HDMI can be 5M long without losing signal?
Oh, I nearly forgot, I'm not using those brand new LCD TV. I'm using those conventional Sony Trinitron only tongue.gif
I guess HDMI is impossible for me. Only S-Video. So, right now I have to figure out a way to connect S-Video to my old TV through very long cable. tongue.gif
