    GTX 260 or 8800 GT SLI?

    I really like the modular PS's, but this item looks "de-activated" at the egg. I can't say enough for Corsair's HX series. Have both the 520 and 620 and they have worked flawless. http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817139002 Could also try jonny guru's recommends at...

    is it possible that GPU-Z only reports what is sees as hardware processing units and simply does not show the in-active units? In other words, it "sees" the 216 units, but only 192 are active.?

    Ditto. Don't lump everyone into the same catagory.

    I keep reading about PSUs but I am still confused.

    Modular = you only plug in the cables you need = much less clutter in your case & much easier to get in there and switch things out.

    I keep reading about PSUs but I am still confused.

    I agree with Aon. Corsair HX series are great solid PSU's. If you're going to stick with a single card solution 1x8800, then you can go with the hx520. But, if you're going to sli, then I would stick with the HX620. There is a good review on Jonny Guru's website about the Corsair psu's...

    How loud is Freezer 7 Pro?

    This is a great product if you want a good mix of value and quiet. I too cannot stand a noisy box and this works great for me. I rarely hear it unless it is under a large load in a game and then even rarely.

    Abit P35-e issue with IDE DVD

    I purchased the pro version of this mobo when it first came out and burned out 2 pata drives. This board/jmicron controller combo hates that. I finally got a sata burner with a pata dvd and got the bugs worked out. Make sure your bios is set correctly. I don't have it in front of me now, but...
