Once in a while, javascript is the better way to implement specific functionality. It would be nice if we could just program for CSS3 and HTML5. But when IE8 is your lowest common denominator, you need to be creative. I do look for PHP solutions first, but sometimes PHP isn't practical. So, my...

Maybe it's because of what the Bartender wrote about you here.

The WD Archive (Ae) drive is a PMR datacenter drive, but is SATA III. It'll work in your machine like any other SATA III drive. What is the price you are seeing for this product in your area? In the US it's ~415AUD.

It was the Viviti manufacturing facility in Shenzhen, the Viviti Mars product lines, and a supply of Western Digital Malaysia heads that went to Toshiba. HGST and WD still do not manufacture together or do R&D together.

To me it seems that the board members want this to help improve long-term stock prices, quantities, options and possibly portfolio offerings. A CEO is just a front-man who needs to get done what the board wants to accomplish.

I want one with the art pen and airbrush pen. This would be a great off-desk companion for my Photoshop/Illustrator/InDesign work.

Brief but nice article about running Windows 10 on a Mac.

The 4770 power draw results I mentioned are for a whole system.

Actually, New England has a serious problem with immigration. The southern states, especially the south west just receive more publicity because the immigrants are on the other side of the border. New England typically gets immigrants from places besides Mexico. The whole U.S. immigration...

Exercise or some time type of physical training is not just for weight loss and does not necessarily always result in weight loss. However, it is also very good for the process of managing stress. Hence, a small amount of Coug's suggestion might just make you feel less anxious about the troubles...

Power-wise, the XFX 4770 draws about the same amount of watts as the Asus GTX 970 Mini. The 4770 uses a 6-pin power connector, the 970 uses an 8-pin. Either unit should not be drawing more than 230 watts when under full load from a game (e.g. Crysis DX10 at 1,920 x 1,200 0xAA 16xAF for the 4770).

Perhaps there was sarcasm in Coug's post? But I like them because I could sell a couple of the 3.8TB units.

Nice! And in a standard 2.5" form-factor.

David, I agree.

The system does not have discrete graphics and only 1 SSD. The enclosure has a good ventilation system. But why an i7? For the same reason that he has an i7 Alienware laptop in his garage - he's the type of customer that wouldn't have anything less, even though he will never need it. His wife...

I recently purchased a 2002 E320 and the wood looks great. The previous owner never parked the car indoors.

I just sold a mini-ITX system using the Asus H97I-Plus board. It's my first build in a long while that has an Asus board. Let's hope it goes well. I combined it with an i7-4790K and 16GB or RAM. But we're still using and selling WIN7 Pro. How has your experience been with WIN10 for this install?

Are the new brackets the same as what you were trying to use?

Nice. What screen resolution do you use for gaming?

I prefer ergonomic/split keyboards. One of my favorites: Microsoft Ergonomic Keyboard, back in the day.

I like Civ 5 and it played well on my GTX 560ti at 1600 x 1200.

The other day I visited a different bar for lunch (yes bartender, this is not the only bar I visit). It's actually a restaurant with a great bar setup, including 5 televisions. A few of us were watching horse racing. Two guys began to bet ($2 a race) and the one guy had no cash, which is ironic...

I forecast that need based on the type of customer and build it into the price.

Another request for a sub $1,500.00 system (estimate is $1,440.00). I'd rather take the profit from a $4k+ system. :-)

The impression this launch gives me is to claim the current 'capacity crown'. While the truly reasonable (there will be a small drop in price come Q4) pricing structure will follow in 6+ months as Samsung transitions V-NAND dies away from 40nm.

From what I have found so far, the difference for the 850 PRO versions are: NEW GEN 2TB: 128Gbit 40nm MLC V-NAND 32-layers OLD GEN 1TB: 86Gbit 40nm MLC V-NAND 32-layers Both use the same 7mm 2.5” SSD enclosure. Warranty on the drive is the same (10 years), but endurance for the 850 Pro doubles...

Well done Joe! Great contributions to the forum, even if they don't have the same frequency as Merc, Dave or Lunar.

Hopefully, the product is more transparent then the picture shows. Otherwise, using it as a bulletproof window will be useless. "Hey, we're protected from bullets! But I can't see where I am going!! [CRASH]"

I still enjoy my Beyerdynamic DT831.

Indeed. I miss the Intel branded motherboards.

Not until you mentioned it! Ark looks cool! Thanks!

Merc, I gave you the specs on the two patterns. You have a cooler for the square pattern, 80x80, and have a board for the narrow pattern, 56x94. You can even see in the picture for your board that it is not the same pattern. You're not missing hardware, the documentation is not wrong. You have...

PC Gaming - Rust This probably sounds backwards, considering the inherent purpose of the game, but I do enjoy playing Rust because of its building characteristics. It is safe to say, I play on PVE servers. Currently, I am on my first modded server, where resources abound and stack in great...

Isn't the NH-D9L for a square ILM 80 x 80 mm mounting pattern and the board is narrow ILM 56 x 94 mm mounting pattern?

I think you would need the NH-D9DX i4 3U to meet the 2011 R3 spec with that C612 board.

Is there just not enough room for it?

hahaha, I know, that's why I'm asking Tony. I tend to be in the $2k to $4k range, with some exceptions. I have recently built some non-gaming ITX systems for loyal customers that hate OEM bloat and like the idea of a custom, reliable build.

I have yet to go the X99 route. My customer builds are still Z97. So far, the GIGABYTE GA-Z97X-UD5H has served me well. For CPU cooling, the Noctua NH-U14S is great, if the enclosure has the space.

Tea, what motherboards is Tony using these days for Intel systems?

I use Adobe Acrobat Pro because it is part of my Adobe Creative Suite - Design Premium.

WD Black drives are a waste of time. I am sure you have the good sense to never own one again. Although I use WD drives quite often, that is just one model line that I find to be lame. A SSD + some 5400 rpm drive for storage is much, much better. The WD Red drives (6TB) have been good for me...

I am wondering why Backblaze would use desktop drives in Storage Pods. They should be using Datacenter drives. They will always see a higher failure rate when using a product in an environment for which it was not designed. Granted, a 90% failure rate is related to quality issues. But taking a...

Quite right mubs. I switched Firefox from using it's PDF plugin to Adobe Acrobat Pro.

Low tech ways to keep cool in hot weather. I like the picture of tea toward the end of the article.

What I dislike about Chrome, is that it has an issue rendering fonts if your installed fonts exceed 1,750. So, for example, I specify this in my CSS: font-family: 'Oxygen', Calibri, Helvetica, Arial, Verdana, sans-serif; Because of the bug in Chrome, it will default to Calibri and not Oxygen.

Tony is correct when it comes to hard disk drives that have a higher prime capacity then what you have in hand. When Seagate released the 3TB drive related to the news article, 3TB was the prime capacity. They were manufactured with the prime format and all heads operating. A 3TB drive today...

For me, it would be a toss-up between Foodnetwork and HGTV. Better yet, not turning on the TV is my first choice.

You can hold off with your fatwah on HGST a bit longer.

HGST manufacturers all of their storage devices separate from WD. They did not sell their desktop drives to Toshiba. WD did sell one manufacturing plant to Toshiba as part of the deal in order to satisfy regulators. HGST also continues to do their own R&D for products, keeping completely...
