Thanks for posting: "Comparison of Graphics Cards with NVIDIA's RIVA TNT Chip". I'd just read a glowing review of the STB Velocity 4400 card and had it at the top of my dream machine graphics card list. Your post saved me some unnecessary problems.

>>I picked up an Addtronics 6890a medium sized tower ($80 COD, w/o power supply), its the next size down from this tower..<<

I'm still stumbling and fumbling trying to figure out what case to go with, so if you don't mind, I'm wondering why you chose to go with the Addtronics case instead of XYZ's case?

>>I've added the PC Power & Cooling Silencer 275 ATX power supply $119... (I wanted a quiet 34db unit... also the fan has ball bearings.)<<

Sounds interesting! But raises further questions :-)
Several years ago I had to replace the p/s in my system and the OEM I bought it from had no idea what p/s was in my system. They sent me one but the location where the switch was and where the wires came out of the p/s didn't match the original. The second p/s they sent me still wasn't exactly right and I ended up having to splice some of the original wires onto the wires of the new p/s.

What did you have to go through in order to get a p/s that was configured properly (location of wires, switch, etc.) for the case you bought?

RE the hardware for mounting the p/s in the case: Did the mounting hardware come with the p/s or do you have to order it separately?

TIA - Emory
