Hey I just brought a Bose Acoustimass 5 system and now I need a receiver to pair up with the set. I'm new to home theater audio but have come down to these 2 choices for a receiver. I just would like some advice on which one would be better for my setup....so please i don't need to hear why did you choose bose...etc. And also i know these receivers are overkill for these speakers but I want something pretty decent in case I decide to upgrade in the future, thanks.

Hey guys, I just brought a new Blu Ray Burner and GTX 570 on my 2 year old build and I realized I still had the stock case fans, can someone reccommend me a couple good case fans. 120mm, I need 2, 1 for the front and the other for the rear of the case, I have the Apevia X Cruiser 2 with the blue lighting, so preferably something with blue led's. Not too loud but I also want something powerful as these are the only fans in the pc. Thanks.

Hey I built my PC almost 2 years ago now...will be 2 years this summer, and it's always done everything I needed to so I never upgraded or anything up until last week. Ever since I got windows vista it ran a little bit less efficiently I guess because I needed more Ram. Anyway now I have 2GB of Ram, I only want to upgrade my cpu heatsink fan for now...and then in a few months I'll get a new video card and sound card...anyway I need help choosing a heatsink. I'm not sure which ones are compatible with my system. Below are my specs.

Aspire X Cruiser Case

Gigabyte GA-K8N Ultra-9

AMD Athlon 64 3700+

2GB Kingston Hyper X PC3200 Ram

Sapphire ATI Radeon X800

SoundBlaster Audigy 2 ZS

Maxtor 200GB Hard Drive

I was looking here...

New Egg Heatsinks

I'm interested in the artic cooling freezer 7 pro but I'm not sure if it's compatible with my system because when I was first building the system I remember reading that some part of my case interferes with certain heatsinks.
