I really could care less, but found it quite odd.

So I lost a drive in the Fileserv, not a huge deal (go RAID5). Anyway, today I jump on to Hitachi's site to file for an RMA, I enter the drive's serial, ect, and before I can get an RMA - This pops up, on an entire screen of it's own, telling me that I have to agree to this: In order to create...

PC Power and Cooling (If you REALLY need some juice), Otherwise Enermax/Antec or bust. Crappy power supplies = crappy computers. The most important component in a PC IMO. Make sure you don't skimp, but I know that you won't.

Smartest thing I've ever seen posted ;)

It's and additional drive, not the inital drive. I think he formatted it through the windows install disk thought, which might explain it. Thanks Merc

Sorry, running XP Pro, everything updated. I can't figure this one out. I know there will be some storage loss, but 30G seems a little too much.

160GB PATA Drive that's showing up as 131G in Windows Disk management, ASUS A7V600 Motherboard, latest bios Anyone have any ideas?

My Linksys WAP54G is my baby... For great signal, get a Hawking antenna for $20. It works 1/2 mile from my house. WPA, WEP, whatever... It works.

Looks pretty solid... I'm still waiting for someone to say when these boards will be available, and what version of the silicon they will be releasing them with.

I thought this was comical, since I was talking to Merc last night and he said someone at best buy offered him Half-Life 2 Source : Bluesnews.com Half-Life 2 for Sale? [November 13, 2004, 8:02 pm EST] - 28 Comments Valve sends an explanation for why Half-Life 2 is not being activated at this...

I caught a little of them on monday, when I was working at 2am...

You forgot Western Digital :lol:

Merc, yet again, I'm not saying that all these things need to be privatized, but social security is a BIG problem. The money that I've been paying in, I will most likely never see. It was a great idea, poorly implemented, and now my generation will have to pay the price for that, unless the...

I'm not saying that all government is bad, but when EVERYTHING is controlled by the government it is... I personally really hate working, then seeing my paycheck flushed down the social security toilet. I just don't comprehend how you are so ready to give up your hard earned money to let the...

I'm confused. I've been trying to keep up on this thread, but WOW there has been a lot of input. The last time I checked, taxpayers weren't paying the majority of health benefits, private companys and individals are. I think that gay people should have the same option as married people do...

Has anyone heard or seen when the nForce 4 boards are going to be available? I've been looking around for information, but I'm coming up short...

Well, this is the first time I've been able to vote, and I'm voting for Michael Badanarik. If we want to end this "Two Party" system, then WE need to do somthing about it. Voting for the lesser of two evils is pointless, they're both evil. In order to create change, you must DO SOMTHING! You...

Well, I pulled the power supply apart, and I couldn't find any bad caps... Same thing with the motherboard/video card. I think I'm more agitated now that I can't find the problem component than the fact that a cap popped.

Fun fun.... Looks like it's time to replace the powersupply in my Shuttle XPC. Fun

I agree, last time I checked, everything in there was pretty much essential

Bacon in clothes can be painful... Why even try it in the nude?

BTW : Hotglue is your new best friend :D

Will they warranty that? Same thing happened to me w/ one of my WD360GD, and both of my roomates 360GDs. I learned my lesson the first time, and when I was assembling my fileserver, I was extremely careful with the 7K250s, and I still broke one. I've been noticing better connectors on the...

Well, last time I checked, a loudass pop and smoke + machine stalling meant somthing was screwed, but last night, my desktop machine did this... Pulled the plug on it, opened up the case, and checked around... Nothing. No burn marks, no evidence of an arc, I have no idea what the hell...

In Windows XP Remote desktop, Start - Windows Security - Shut Down

Thanks for the support guys. I moved out when I was 18, and rented a place for a year, and decided that rental property was pretty much throwing money down the toilet.

Like I said, expensive... I'm 21, with a mediocre job, and a mortgage payment.

So, let me get this stright... $29/mo Unlimited local/long distance, and you keep your current phone number? Where do I sign up again?? The phone company's monopoly is about to hit the fan.

When you're getting 8 DVDs a week, I think your price is fair :lol:

Oh well, less money spent. Oh darn.

I started my Netflix service when Merc mentioned it to me, I thought it was the coolest thing ever, the only reason I got blockbuster was for FreeiPods.com, and I found Blockbuster's service to be terrible. I absolutley hate blockbuster, espically because of their ridiculous in-store rental...

I just turned 21 in September, and I really have no desire to drink... I went out for the "Get smashed on your 21st B-Day" celebration, but my friends were more drunk than I was. Drinking is pretty costly, tastes like crap, and can end you up in jail if you're lacking intelligence. Maybe I'll...

The blockbuster service is HORRIBLE... Takes over two weeks turnaround. Netflix is a week or less. I've been hearing ads for Blockbuster DVD trade in... They're trying to get more DVDs so they can open more shipping depots. Go figure. I doubt they'll be able to keep that 17.49 if they get as...

http://www.storageforum.net/forum/viewtopic.php?t=4081 Thank merc for that one.. You can slipstream anything and remove pretty much anything from the windows install. Very VERY useful

I've never seen the "High Speed" stuff work up to spec. If it costs more, it's not worth it.

I don't have any personal experience with Belkin stuff, but I'm very partial to Linksys. Stay away from the USB adapter if it all possible, from what I've heard they're terrible. I'd look for somthing with WPA, and WiFi Compatable I was amazed by the range of my Linksys WAP54G with one of...

Bozo - Intervideo is a software company that makes WinDVD, and a suite of DVD Authoring / Copying software.

Alcohol Soft Alcohol 120%.

I just noticed that there is no firewire support either. Anyone know how soon to expect production boards?

I like the nForce2 Chipset a lot, and I've been nothing but dissapointed with pretty much anything nVidia has done since then. My main question is, will the 5.1/7.1 onboard audio still exist? The rest of the chipset looks pretty robust, from the built in firewall to the NCQ SATA RAID controller

Well, back to the VIA corner I come... This blows bad. Waiting, waiting, waiting, waiting... DENIED That's pretty damn aggrivating. PAY THE DAMN FEE! We pay for it in the end anyways!

Just an update, nForce4 Will debut on October 19th, and the SLI version somtime shortly after. Sounds like an A-64 is on the X-Mas list :)

Well, Newegg has the Hitachi 400GB in stock.

I have to agree ddrueding, the most I've ever spent on a CPU was a P4 3.06 ($226) for my server. The only reason I bought it was because it's the only 533fsb P4 that has HT. I had a 2.6, but it wouldn't work in the new motherboard.

Personally, I'm waiting for nForce4. Welcome back Soundstorm, DDR2, and PCIe. More than enough said.

The board has no history. I was having problems with the previous board random rebooting all the time, so I RMA'd the bad board. The different hard drive was giving the same IRQL and PAGE_FAULT errors. The board posts fine, goes into Windows starting up, and will just sit there. Yes, top...

Well, on-demand 8 hours later....

Well, swapped out the ram, 3rd different bios. Any other suggestions?

True, but this is basically movies on demand. No more waiting for the mail. Now you don't even have to goto the mailbox, let alone the video store.

Well, TiVo and Netflix are teaming up, despite what looked like to be troubled waters about a month ago. Read more here
