Fujitsu 5400RPM ATA/100 20GB HDD ( only about 3 weeks old )

Bought this hard drive while I was getting one replaced, but dont need it anymore. Its a pretty good drive for a 5400 though...

Where do u live? north pole?

I had a post wanting to buy a good psu, and somebody messaged me with this brand that they said was good, Ive never heard of it, and cant find anything on it anywhere..does anybody know anything about these??

Yup, you need an ata66/100 cable for that HDD or posibly the DVD according to what model it is Should increase yer performance a lil if you get one of these cables.

nVIDIA is a pretty small company compared to others, like ATI, it was said that their staff was too divided to focus on the 6mo cycle with all the new products they're working on, and btw, I cant wait to see what nForce brings to the table
