Hi all.
I have been using various SSD's in my computers for several years now. But for a while now, work and family issues have kept me from spending as much time here in the forums as I would like, so I am getting a bit out of touch with the current state of the art.
1 particular system...
I recently built a new rig with 3 Patriot Warp 64 gig SSDs in RAID 0. I was happy with the performance, so I stole one of them to use in my work laptop. It was a horrible experience. It had aggravating stutters the time. But it booted a lot quicker so I knew there was potential there.
I...
I was recently contacted by a data recovery firm after they read a post here on [H]ardforum that they wanted to buy my WD 1 TB GP drive. Seems the WD10EACS-00ZJB0 version of the drive is a bit rare and they needed it to help recover a customer's data. They offered me $165 for a drive I paid...
Hey, I am just getting into liquid cooling, and have a couple of questions.
A little background would be in order I guess. I just picked up this kit from Microcenter for 135 bux. It installed in just fine, and everything is nice and quiet, except that the fan on my 4850 vid card is now the...
Well, I have some time and money, so I thought I would put together a fast storage setup for my system.
I went with a Perc 5i controller with 256 meg of cache. $115 off of ebay with the BBU and the 4 X sata cable.
I wanted to make sure I capped out the read speed on the controller so I...
Well, after a particularly bad holiday season, I have decided to embark on a little "Retail Therapy," and do some upgrades on my computer.
First thing I did was upgrade my ram from 2 gig to 8 gig, and purchase Ramdisk Pro 9 from superspeed. My pagefile now resides on a 4 gig ramdisk. Hard...
Well, I realised I needed to upgrade my Nas box last month when I ran out of room for my Po... er the wife's digital picture collection. So, I dug around a bit and decided on a Thecus N5200 from Newegg with 3 WD Green Power 1 TB drives from Zip Zoom Fly.
I decided to give ZZF a try because I...
Well, I am not a big fan of REBATES, but this is a pretty good deal.
Coolermaster 690 @ Microcenter for 20 bux after MIR. It is 60 bux with a $40 dollar rebate.
I bit, and am very happy with it so far. In fact, I am thinking of going back and getting a second one, and sending the rebate...
Hi all, I don't know a whole lot about Ram, so I have a few questions for my new build I am starting.
I am looking at getting a Q6600, and either a P35 or X38 chipset motherboard. I do not plan to ever SLI or Crossfire, so I am looking at either a 8800GT or a 3870. I am prolly going to...
Well, I'm back in the DC thing after an abscence caused by a new job, and I decided to join UD since ya'll are kicking so much ass in F@H.
Anyway, I loaded the client on my Dual 2.66 Hyperthreaded XEON system, and it is only running about 25% utlilization in my Task Manager CPU usage. There...
Hi everybody.
I've got an HP XV8000 system that I just purchased a second processor for off of EBAY. I need to get a heatsink for it. I'm not planning on overclocking or anything. I just have a question though.
The chip in my system now is a 2.66/533/512K with a stepping of SL6VM, and...
Hi all, I am in the process of trying to recycle a couple of Intel 440 BX based systems. They have dual CUMine 933's, and 256 meg of ram. The MBs are Nexcom 6320VL motherboards. I got the latest bios from Nexcom, since the original bios was some kind of custom setup from the OEM.
Now, when...
Just got this in an email from Tigerdirect.com.
Tigerdirect.com 512 meg pc3200 19.99 after MIR
Looks like a good deal if you don't mind a rebate. The actual price is 60 bux with a 40 dollar rebate. :rolleyes:
Looks like the deal is good through Friday night.
Good hunting!

Hi all.
I got called up to the Cardiac Cath Lab at the hospital that I work at today to figure out why they could not transfer images from an xray system over to a DICOM network for permanent storage and retrieval. I found there was an interface PC between the xray system and the DICOM...
