    He's in Australia, so it probably went in the bush. Everything that get lost in Australia probably went in the bush.

    I agree with Merc regarding the relative importance of monitors (high) and keyboards (low). I can live with a cheapo keyboard (up to a certain point), but I want a certain quality level with my main screen. With most people spending more time typing textos on their phone rather than typing on...

    No no no! He's just the repair guy. Santilli wrote it earlier. Oh but, is it possible that there's another Neil in the same company? Noooo, can't possibly be... He certainly wrote to the company's president for a defective ~100$ keyboard (and got answered). Hey, tell you what, next time I...

    Of course. Why is that even a question? Just create a bootable USB installation and add the latest version of Malwarebytes and whatever other cleaning software you want on it and boot from the USB key. The bootable USB installation Mercutio wrote about in another thread would do just that, if...

    Wow, I watched the first video of that link and I had to concentrate quite a lot to understand some of the parts of her speech. I would expect that kind of accent from a labor worker, but not from a politician. It is not a critique, just an observation. If I ever go to Australia one day like...

    USB Flash Drive

    I've found it, but it will take a while to download. There's an 8GB and a 16GB version and I think I've found the bigger version. 13 compressed 1GB files from a free (meaning slow) file sharing web site. I hope I won't be limited to a single file per day. I know I can only do one at a time.

    Ivy Bridge details

    I don't know if it's a SandyBridge, IvyBridge, SnowyBridge, SunnyBridge, WindyBridge or DirtyBridge, but there's supposed to be an 8-core/16-thread consumer-grade processor coming out soon from Intel and I can't wait to see it in my price lists.

    Do you really need the 12 drives to be in RAID or do you already own the motherboard? If not, you could save a bunch by opting for a motherboard that already has 12 or more SATA ports onboard. That's 600$ cheaper.

    No first-hand experience, but it must be noisy as Hell with that little fan on it. From what I read on the Net, Areca makes above-average products. Except for the noise, you shouln't be disappointed with the performances.

    My car has been paid completely for several years. I own it and the bank cannot take it from me. So no worries about that. In fact, in the state it is, I doubt they'd wish to do so anyway. I'm pretty sure I lock my doors for nothing too.

    There's no longer any interior trim on the driver-side door of my car. The passenger side is a bit better, but has had its fair share of punishment, mainly during the two times I bent the driver-side door so badly that I had to maintain it close with straps and I had to enter my car by the...

    Ok, looking at all the benchmarks, the 7750 actually beats the 6770 slightly, but not in a way the user will notice. It's similar performance for the same price. To the customer's eyes, nothing changed except the number on the box. Disappointing.

    The Radeon HD 7770 will suck at 199$. Can't even beat the cheaper Radeon HD 6850. The Radeon HD 7750 doesn't impress me either, failing to outperform the 120$ Radeon HD 6770.

    Hitachi RMA support : bunch of bastards!

    It's pretty obvious when you deal with their support that Western Digital has yet to merge their support department with Hitachi's. The RMA support building isn't the same either. The filling form and phone support are different too. You can say what you want about WD's products, but their...

    Thanks for the feedback. I've looked at the youtube video of Skyrim's gameplay at 1080p on a Radeon HD 5770 and while it was generally good, there was at least one instance when it was choppy (during a fight). I think a Radeon HD 4870 is a more powerful card than a Radeon HD 6750. One...
