Hmmm, nice deal. The same with brand new components, but without the Swiftech heatsink would cost ~355U$ here and shipping wouldn't be included. A 60U$ saving plus good heatsink and free shipping should ring a bell in someone's head. Too bad I don't need/have cash for it currently.

I changed the OptoRite for a Lite-On LTR-32123S and so far it performs better, while being significantly quieter. The OptoRite wasn't a boeing, but it was just a tad less noisy than, let's say, a 50x Asus CD-ROM (which I consider very noisy). The Lite-On LTR-32123S is a bit noisier than my LG...

Bill, Did you take a picture of you for your avatar? I mean, you are a 50 years old seller and the guy in the picture looks like a 50 years old seller. I wonder... Steve, Great effort to lose that much weight. However, you lost it way too quickly. What you did was to lower your body...

Thank you time. I'll try it soon, probably in my next review (if any).

I know, but since the article I linked dated from February, I figured the patch could have been integrated into a prior version of 4in1 driver. Thinking about it, it must not have been. I'll see if I can install it on my KT-266A based motherboard, even if I currently doesn't need it.

NRG=MC², Hopefully, your return will fill the hole created by the departure of Bartender's soon-to-be-gone customers' box. BTW, is "several box" writen "box" or "boxes"? My pocket dictionary doesn't tell me.

Very well writen, although it is a bit too old to be posted on the front page. I think it worths being read anyway as it is very informative. From the tecChannel.de, learn. BTW, anyone knows if the latest 4in1 v4.38 include the VIA patch 1.04?

Thanks to new member Bwm, who asked Western Digital for a way to differenciate the older 2 platters WD400BB from the newer 1 platter WD400BB. In his comment for the news concerning lower capacity Special Edition 7200rpm WD hard drive on the front page, Bwm wrote : So no more need to go to your...

Hi, Some of you might have notice it, but I'll say it anyway : we have taken the lead again over Team Pfeffer. And this time, it should be for good, unless we lose other soldiers in the battle (StorageForum.net seems to be our latest loss :(). However, browsing Statsman's team progession...

It looks like a modified Antec Performance Serie, with a 120mm hole in the rear instead of two 80mm. See the side panel's handle, very similar to the one of the Antec. It must not be bad. I don't despise drive rails as much as some of you. There are good and bad rails, just like any other...

According to SR testing, the Samsung P40 is underperforming compared to other 7200rpm modern drives. I wouldn't use unless all the others would be much dearer and as reliable as a bunch of 75GXP. The Barracuda ATA IV seems to be less noisy and quicker overall. I like the Maxtor D740X because...

Our Bartender has been on steroids lately. More productive than even Doug. Impressive. We now have four members in the three digits/day processed units, plus another who's very close to that beat too (JoJo). This has allowed us to keep the pace with team Pfeffer during the last two days, not...

Thanks again Buck, you are very helpful. I'll try it again tomorrow evening when I'll be back.

Hi, sorry for the slow reply. I sent the message to webmaster@handruin.com I think, or maybe webmaster@storageforum.net, I don't remember. I've been able to connect via the command line like Buck told me to do, but I didn't know how to copy the files from my hard drive to the server (copy and...

Well, as a second thought, FTP isn't for me. Check your mail Doug.

It worked, thanks

No, I'm a ftp retard.

In the case of SF, what would be the whatever.whomever.net? I tried ftp ftp.storagefrum.net, but it didn't work.

You will love me... I tried to connect to your FTP server without success with the first FTP tool I grab at download.com. I included the error message I got in the e-mail I sent you...with all the rest of the pictures and the pseudo-review. It's not all that bad you know, only approximately...

Yes, but we aren't :(

I currently have a GeForce 3Ti 200 and a TNT-2 Pro at home, as well as an ATI Radeon 32MB DDR on a foreign computer. I didn't think the Radeon 32MB DDR was so low-end by now, but I'm still very satisfied with the performances of my GF3 Ti 200. The GeForce 4Ti 4200 is performing really well...

That poor chicken must be tired by now.

It doesn't worth being mentioned on the front page, but I post it here for curiosity purpose. http://www.tomshardware.com/graphic/02q2/020418/index.html Maybe you'll want to compare it to your own listing.

No, what is it supposed to do?

Actually, there's a bunch of things we cannot do. We can't project our adversary head first on the ground, no headbutt, no choking, no bitting, etc. I'm all for it. Who wants to play we me? HellDiver? ;-)

I'll send you the screenshots with the explanations on what went wrong. I'll try to make it looks like a review, although it will lack enthusiasm. Reviewing poor pieces of hardware isn't inspiring. Tomorrow you should receive an e-mail about it. If it's too big to fit one message, I'll split...

I wasn't clear. It worked on the system without the reversed buttons (under Paint), but nothing worked on the system with the wrong keyboard layout.

ditto Unless there's a significant impact on the performances of the server, I think it will worth it with the time.

I regret to have stopped running the Genome@home client in order to run the tests on the OptoRite. It wasn't worth the scant unit loss.

Well, now that the tests are completed, I'm not even sure it worths a review. To sum it up, I'm going to return the POS tomorrow and grab something else instead. The only purpose of the review would be to warn other potential buyers in the unknown against spending their hard earned money on...

That's good news JoJo. We badly need you 24/7. Team Pfeffer finally manged to pass us, but it doesn't mean we cannot reverse the steam. I hope NRG=MC² will also be able to install the client so that it won't disturb him anymore.

I'll simply edit the .bmp created by Paint with PhotoMAX to convert it to a more Net-friendly format. In the mean time, I found out why it didn't work on one of my two systems. I feel real stupid. Last time I reconstructed my keyboard, I reversed the Scroll and Print Screen buttons :oops...

BTW, when Alt+Print Screen doesn't work, Print Screen alone doesn't either...I tried with no success.

Alt+Print Screen works on one system (but I can only paste in Paint, not PhotoMAX), but not on the other. Problem is, it doesn't work on the system on which I run the test :( Winblows is so whimsical sometimes, damn! (I was about to say sometime sexist, by I'll refrain ;-)) I don't have any...

Hi, Question is probably for those MCSE guys among you. I tried to capture benchmark images using Alt+PrtnSrn and then paste the copied image into an imaging application (Arcsoft PhotoMAX Pro 2.0, came with a past Epson Stylus 860 I once had). But it doesn't work. It worked fine when I had...

I know mine (SL-75DRV2) has worked flawlessly from day one.

I like the 3D effects, but not the color used. Red makes me agressive and I fear that after a while (especially during one of my argument with HellDiver) I'll be tempted to throw my fist on my pricey 19" Sony G400. Please keep the colors in the cold tones.

I'm one of those who voted for 50, but only because I had sympathy for people on dialup. Since Mercutio doesn't seem to care, I would change my vote from 50 to 100, which would bring the actual result to 4 against 6 in favor of going for 100 posts per page. I say we do it and we wait for...

Possible explanation for the removal of SOI for Barton (from X-bit Labs) : Motorola partnership failure in favor of UMC could be the reason.

Ok, I found CD Speed 0.85e and CD DAE 99 0.2B on this site. I'll post the results here tomorow so you'll have the world première review of the OptoRite 32x/12x/40x (Searching Optorite + review yields no result on Google).

I utterly refuse to translate the work of Tony, Santilli, The Giver and some post from HellDiver. There's long and long and their posts ARE long. I don't have THAT much time to kill. Ask another slave. I knew you would love it :D BTW, he's Greek, not Italiano.

Hi, I bought an OptoRite burner and I would like to test it before I send it to my customers. I don't have enough time to order the CD Winbench CD-ROM from e-testing Labs. Any suggestions would be appreciated. I want to know what this baby can do. Sorry for being brief. Thunderstorm is...

You mean like Rammstein? Err, perhaps. I don't think an e-mail will be necessary. As writen in this news at X-bit Labs : :(

Thanks for the tip Doug, I'll see what I can do with this. Bill, I'm not sure I understand well what you mean. Are your asking me if I could attract more people if I would create an additional French front page? Or am I misunderstanding your question (poor little me currently has a hard...

550,000U$:eekers: Honestly Bill, I think we'll find a way to live without it. Burst bust, but at least it's cheap.

Hi, I've been more active than usual on the front page lately. It's been a very busy week regarding the news in the IT world, that's why. I would like to have your opinion about the frequency of the news posted on the front page. I still have at least 3 or 4 more stories that I could add...

Thanks Buck for the suggestion. But no matter how good my letter would be, I don't know where to send it. There's apparently no one officially in charge of the marketing at AMD (there is, of course, but I don't see his/her e-mail address). Who should I contact in that list? My pick would...

The two best motherboards ever produced for socket-7 processors were the EPoX EP-MVP3G2 and Tyan Trinity S1598. The Tyan was a bit quicker, but had less features. Both were also available with a 2MB cache version (EP-MVP3G5 and Trinity S1598C2), but the 2MB cache versions (particularly the one...

Why did no one submited the news/rumor on the front page? It would be a lot easier for me to just click on "accept" rather than writing the whole announcement. You have no heart for me.
