If it only had not gone through the mail in nothing but a padded envelope and was not making the occasional weird noise, I might trust. It is amazing it made it though the mail functioning at all!

Yeps. It's a POS LCT20

I bought this drive on eBay for $40 shipped. It is 20GB. ATA100. I'm guessing it is 5400RPM but I'm not sure. My motherboard BIOS identifies this drive as "Generic A8E.P100" upon boot up. It would probably be a decent drive if the seller didn't ship it in a padded envelope (no shit it is...

I heard this condition varys with the revision of board you have. Just an FYI, new boards probably don't have this issue... C

Ug ug UGLY! You can buy adjustable speed fans (by Enermax) cheap. 6 internal bays is nice but since I no longer play with IDE RAID, I do not need them. Did I mention that is one ugly case? (IMO) :-) C

I took a week break when I was on vacation. I turned my machines off because I figured they would lose connectivity during my Comcast.net transition to the new network anyway. I've been pleased with my progress since starting my two boxes back up. I was 7th and am now in a game of tit-tat...

Wowowow. That is a terrible safety issue. I have encountered a lot of LCA testing at the Lab I used to work at and, indeed, heavy braking over chatter bumps is a worst case scenario for LCA attachments. WHat you have there must be some type of manufacturing defect in the casting. I would not...

Cool. THis slotket worked great with my 133 mhz 1Ghz P3 (in an Abit BF6) so I think it will be OK with the Celeron III 950 (in the Epox)... C

I can set the slotket to tell the mobo the CPU needs to run at a specific voltage but I don't think I'll have to. I believe the BX3 will do 1.7v no problem so I will be leaving it at autodetect. Thx, C BTW: My main concern is related to the PS which I neglected to mention. I'm using a 250W...

Hi- I'm going to upgrade my Father-in-laws BX Board: http://www.epox.com/html/english/products/motherboard/ep-bx3.htm I plan on putting a Celeron 950 into this board with a MSI Master Slotket. I think it should work fine although it is not officially supported. The board supports at least a...

I believe I tried Network Connections before but it didn't work. I'm trying it again to be sure. THe others just don't seem to be the right one based on their description...? Also, Network DDE and DDE DSDM are not 'Started' now and my net access is fine. Hmmm. I'll check again in the AM...

Ack it didn't work... Hrm..

Actually, I think I found the answer...set the NetLogin service to Automatic.... I think....anyway. We'll know shortly if the UD program can communicate after I reboot! Clocker

http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;EN-US;q137890 I've used the techniqe above with great success to have my United Devices THINK program launch even though no one has actually logged onto my WinXP box. It is really easy actually. However, does anyone how I can enable my network...

THis is a real TNT2 16MB AGP card, not the choked down M64 version. $20 shipped anywhere in the USA. C

Thanks T. I won't be messing with the system until they tell me they need to use USB. At that point, I can throw in my SM56 56K Winmodem. Their 28.8 AOL connection sux anyway and they won't want to put down the bux for a nice external model. THat ISA internal they have has always been nice...

WIth the exception of the 8MB cache WD IDE drive, I think you should go on the premise that the typical user will not be able to tell the different between any two drives of the same generation, spindle speed, size, and interface. I think you should sell the 7,200 rpm brand that you have found...

I was messing with a friends computer upgrading some things. Installed a TV tuner card, replaced Savage4 PSO video card with a TNT2 16MB. Motherboard is an Abit VH6 (VIA 694 chipset) with Celeron 600: http://www.abit-usa.com/eng/product/mb/vh6.htm Her Diamond Supra 56i internal ISA modem...

Yes. I might be able to Sunday night (tomorrow). C

Thanks for the input guys. It turns out that the CD-Reader was bad. Doug- I just used Nero's default settings for burning a disk (whatever those are). I put a new drive in there and it worked fine.... Thanks, Clocker

I created a CD with Nero so I could get some drivers installed on a friends machine. Their machine, which is runnng WIn98SE, refuses to properly read the CD. It is very very slow (minutes instead of seconds) to copy files and then when they do copy over they are corrupt. This is an old 24x...

I heard on the news that they kill him by first slitting is throat and then decapitating him. What barbarians these terrorists are. They deserve a really slow death in the gas chamber. Clocker

Was it KCComp?

You can really do that? Wow! How do they do it?

One Seagate Medalist Pro (IDE) ST36530A RMAd after getting too hot. It was one of the first 7,200 RPM IDE drives (if not '*the* first, can't . remember). The identical replacement (reburb) part was fine and I sold it on eBay. C

I'm not 100% that is going to happen. Heck, they just released a new vewsion of the software yesterday: http://members.ud.com/download/gold/ud.htm We'll wait and see I guess!! C

Everything I see in the tekram store indicates it is 5V operation. Can you point me to where it says 3.3v? C

Magnets Are the Future of Data Storage I doubt this is the future on th edesktop but it is interesting nonetheless.... A 'plastic' magnet that responds to light could lead to new ways of storing and reading large amounts of computer data. Light would be used to store information in cheap...

Great job, Doug!! Clocker

Well, I got the call today. THe TV is repaired and ready for my pickup. $166 was the damage. Not too bad I guess. I'm sure it probably only cost a fractino of that to repair it but they are in it to make money I guess. Time to pick it up tomorrow and but a surge protector! Clocker

What SMART utility? I'll try it too if it works on my SCSI drives. C

Where can I find good deals and reviews on TVs? Just incase it is not practical to repair my broken Trinitron, I want to make an educated buying decision. Good picture quality & low price are important to me. I don't have to have a flat screen though. I want the best value in a TV that will...

I'm pretty sure a power surge caused it as the alarm on the surge protector in the other room is beeping like hell telling me to replace it. My 27" Sony Trinitron TV is dead now. It just won't power on. Nothing happens when I hit the power button. I see a small 6.3A 125V inline fuse which...

I wonder if the Antrax research will continue? C

Steve GIbson @ www.grc.com raised a big stink about WinXP using raw sockets and it being such a big security risk. According to Steve, WinXP boxes are so insecure, home users should not be using it. We all need ZoneAlarm accoring to Steve. However, his ShieldsUp page which uses his new...

Interesting info: http://zdnet.com.com/2100-1103-838981.html I wonder if they have made tribological advancements to help compensate for the added power consumption that a faster spinning drive will have, or if they just reduced the size/mass of the platters via advances in aerial density...

I'm thinking about upgrading my video card. I currently have a Geforce2 GTS. I'd prefer a DX8 compliant card at a reasonable price so the two options I'm considering are: Geforce 4 Ti 4200 (a bit pricy) vs Geforce 3 Ti 300 (not sure on price) If you were buying, which would you choose and...

AFAIK, Think only downloads one unit at a time. You work on it until it is done and then the results are uploaded and a new 'job' is retrieved. Jobs can vary in size from anywhere in the range of several hours to a few days long... C

Makes no difference. Units is units! C

I will continue to visit SR on a regular basis. But, I'm now calling SF my new online habitat. The SR Computers & For Sale forums seem useful but the B&G is dead. It's you guys who made SR great (for me) so I'm now committed to SF. Clocker
