I have two Cheetah 9LP 9.1GB 10k drives, ST39102LW. They're 68-pin Ultra2 Wide. These were in a working RAID in an IBM workstation. I have tested them with Seatools and wiped them. http://www.seagate.com/support/disc/specs/scsi/st39102lw.html...

Actually, it makes a very big difference. 1. Power plants are point-sources that can be controlled far more easily than a thousand cars. 2. Power plants are far more efficient than the internal combustion engine. 3. Power plants have more than one fuel; they don't even have to use fossil...

Why would someone register to post in a thread that had been dead for two years?

I should have kept that 8-inch floppy....

This looks to be just a really tall version of the case that I have now. Really tall. If I were building a storage server, this would probably be the case to use. Did I mention that it's tall?

As I rarely walk into a store to buy things, I can usually print up as many "original" receipts as I wish....

Why wouldn't it work? Is there something inherently different, other than the key?

One finds that the difference between a high-end desktop computer and low-end server is the case that you put it in. If you're looking at something that's non-critical and doesn't really need speed, then the expense isn't strictly necessary.

Tell me about it. What are people's feelings on black versus silver?

It's just like doing an "upgrade" install of the Windows over itself... only you'll lose all of the XP Home dysfunctionalities.

I should have mentioned that having a door to cover my highly colour-mismatched optical drives is an aesthetic must. This has to sit on my desk, and I don't want to look at beige-black-ivory everytime I glance to the right.... The Antec case is not described as being EATX-compatible. My...

The lazy bum factor again! This is why I haven't redone my entire collection in vorbis and FLAC yet....

Thanks Gilbo. The TJ05 is a little bit pricier than I'd prefer, but it just seems to have so many useful features. I'll check those other cases that you've mentioned.

Vorbis, FLAC, Theora, and Speex all use the ogg container (although you're far more likely to use raw FLACs than ogg FLACs). HydrogenAudio probably does a more pursuasive job of convincing use of superior codecs.

Looking for an EATX case. Cool, quiet, stylish, etc. for a dual system that I may be putting together. Right now, I'm enamoured with the Silverstone TJ-05: http://www.silverstonetek.com/products-tj05.htm Money is an object in theory, but shouldn't be a barrier. Thoughts? Ideas? Options?

How about it's better? Higher compression and better sound. And so? Maybe they should. It's not as if it'll cost them money.... Ogg is a container; vorbis is the codec. If you don't want lossy compression, MP3 isn't for you either.... Why bother bother with the loss? Just use FLAC or...

I've had problems in the past with the SuSe installer. I dunno if this is something peculiar in my hardware or in YAST.

What do you want to do? Looking to actually change the the organization of the files, or just keep track of them in a database? And please tell me that you're actually going to use vorbis, not MP3.

No, you just mount the motheboard on the other side of the case, allowing use of the wind tunnel.

I hate leet. It's so stupid.

I've heard that it uses a bridge chip. Can anyone confirm or deny this? I'd be interested to know if there are compatability issues with controllers.

Every manufacturer? Single channel support is now AMD's call, as they have the memory controller. And yes, it should work (according to the people who make the chips).

This is because you installed the XP version of the NT OS loader into the boot sector! You should be able to use your Linux boot floppy to get into your installation. From there you should be able to reinstall GRUB and set it up correctly.

What you *should* have done was reinstall GRUB after installing Win2k. The problem here is the WinXP and Win2k only get along with one another when XP is installed last, and they don't get along with Linux at all.

Those are sunglasses.

Reminds me of the problems that Airbus had in implementing fly-by-wire. Sometimes the computer would disagree with the pilot....

To keep the dingoes out!

I question whether Windows98 will work properly on the newer hardware.

The problem with harddrives is that they contain both the mechanics and media; they are the disks and the drive. CDs and DVDs are just the disks; this makes them less susceptible to failure. What you're doing now (two online copies and an offline backup to DVD) is extremely reasonable.

Keeps the dingoes out too!

The rules are: If at all possible, do not -- DO NOT -- use your feet on the ball. This is why they call it football. There's also: When it's time for a commercial break, stop playing.

Merc, look for "Bliss" on Oxygen. It's on after the Canadian sex lady.

It's dense... but how are access times?

They couldn't have gone down hill, as they don't show music videos on MTV anymore.

Are you arguing with Dubya again?

One, two, three... FOURTEEN!

Perhaps we can invade Saudi Arabia and force democratic elections there!

One cannot do this from the recovery console?

Santilli, those look interesting as a cheaper solution. Not sure about the mounting, however. I read throught the manual for the CSE-M35S on the Supermicro website, and I see what you're getting at, Pradeep. My external box only has four 5.25 bays; if I read correctly, this rack takes up...

The problem is that they keep picking the ball up. Even Canadians do that! What's the deal with using the wrong shape ball and touch it? It's football, after all!

The problem that I see right now with going with something like that is that the cable in my enclosure runs between the two external connectors. From the pictures on Supermicro's website, it looks like there's in "in" connector and an "out" connector on the back of the external enclosure. That...

They got it wrong. These jobs are all outsourced to the Phillipines. They have better accents there.

The drives need to be cooled better than they have now; the drives in my external enclosure are running 10 to 15 degrees Celsius hotter than drives in my computer case. Whatever I use needs to have ventilation from the front. My enclosure already has a fan on the back, as well as one in the...

I'm finally getting around to getting something other than adapter brackets and rubber bands to mount the drives in my external enclosure. I'm looking for something which will cool them better and be quiet. Other bells and whistles are welcome, however. I have been looking at several models...

Did you install the proprietary extensions? I personally found that VirtualPC doesn't do much other than run Windows well. VMware does much better with Linux.

I'd do number 4 first. If X doesn't work, you might want to be able to fix it....
