I am looking into investing in a new case for my computer. I've been considering the Antec Nine Hundred. Is it a good case? I'm also open to suggestions, thanks. A case should reflect the owner more than anything in general, so if this case fits you needs and is what you can afford, go for it. Antec makes some really cool cases thats for sure, for myself I use cool master but I'm not into gaming but it has 2 HD and everything else I need, was built 2 1/2 yrs ago, it fits me.

Do you think Windows 7 will be better than Windows Vista? Well so far the Beta version we have been testing is sweet, loaded fast, runs smooth and seems to have none of the problems that were the major issues of Vista. If it continues to run like this and we can install all the programs we like, just like XP then I would have no problem using or install on my next system. As far as I know it will not be out till August.

When I let my 15yr old girl go to a friends house, whether I know them or not, I ask to talk to mom to make sure everything is on the up and up. My daughter gets upset & says nobody elses mom does that. Am I right? Better safe than sorry, she will understand someday when shes older and has her own kids. I would rather have her upset at me than not know where she is or who she is with. I am a mother of 2 grown kids and a Aunt to 14 nieces & nephews & grandmother to 7 so I understand perfectly. They just don't understand because other kids parents aren't as caring as you are.
