It seems that they may have bated-and-switched the link. This "lenry.atw.hu" may be up to no good? I only saw ad banners and no content.

Tiki you need to give yourself more credit. Thanks for taking the lead! :)

Got some temperature readings from RealTemp. The one on left: i7-950 (faster processor) with a Cooler Master heatsink. The one on right: i7-930 with an Intel provided heatsink. Both under normal working conditions. Taken starting at about 10:00 am PDT. The difference is about 10 to 15...

Some information from Microsoft about combining multiple physical disk drives to form a virtual volume. They call it "Dynamic Disk". http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa363785(v=VS.85).aspx

Ah! Five-star, finally!!! Thank you thank you thank you! Tikitrader you deserve some recognition! :)

One word: McAfee... LOL :D Yeah, the best is to remove the temptation. A kid wouldn't know Daddy missed a $10000 opportunity because he wants to play Doom (or whatever the equivalent is today) with an online pal...

It takes a minimum of 5 or something...

Where is the link to BUY BUY BUY? I need 128GB for my home SETI project! :D

With today's technologies, the difference may not be that high. I have a D-Link wireless 300N+ router at home. And on my computers they all have USB 300N wifi adapters. From all the SpeedTest tests I made, they showed 18 Mbps most of the time. It is just about as fast as you can get with...

Ah... interesting. I should be able to do a virtual volume to combine the 2 disks. Or maybe I will buy one now and wait for the second one to come down in price in a year. Thanks for the link!

Sure I do rebates. Sometimes. Sure I can wait. This is a back-burner project. It would be great if I can buy through Amazon because I have shopping credits with them through my credit card. :) Thanks Sam!

You have a very good point Kiwi_trader. I thought I would use the SSD for faster data access and thus put all my data on it too. I need to figure out some kind of data archival process to move non-essential data off the SSD.

I am trying to build one of my boxes as a data vault. I want to put everything on it, consolidating from multiple computers. I already have a 1.5TB on it. So I want to have 3TB or (ideally 4TB) at a good price. Speed is not important. Lower rpm okay, SATA 3 okay. Hey... as one of my...

I always advocate multiple dual cards instead of quad cards or hex cards for a few simple reasons: 1. Inexpensive acquisition: 1 quad card = e.g. $300, per monitor price = $75 per monitor 2 dual cards = e.g. $20 each, per monitor price = $10 per monitor 2. Replacement costs: If a...

I pulled up the technical specs of the HP Z200. You have the following expansion slots: 1 PCIe Gen1 x1 mechanical (x1 electrical) 1 PCIe Gen2 x16 mechanical (x16 electrical) 1 PCIe Gen1 x4 mechanical (x1 electrical) 1 PCIe Gen1 x16 mechanical (x4 electrical) 3 PCI (full-height/length) 1...

SSD is the way to go... Today's price... it is still high Intel 320 Series 600 GB SATA 3.0 Gb-s Buy new: $1,206.13 The 120 GB Intel SSD that I installed on my laptop... Already 90% full! I don't know where the storage went!!! :D Want to get a 250 GB SSD but the price seems still...

My older one is HP dv9730us. Shows its age. The current one is dv8t 1100 featuring i7 720QM processor. I like the speed of the new laptop. A bit faster. But it has an issue that the wifi button will go on and off randomly (and the treble/bass softkeys as well). It is really annoying...

Great setup Tiki! You are not kidding about the exercise ball! :) What models are your HP laptops? That's the only brand I use too. For whatever reasons... I became a HP guy. All my desktops, laptops... until I started my own brand. Unfortunately making your own laptop is a lot harder...

That's how I feel too at Fry's. Now if they would let me help myself and use their inhouse sales computer... :D :D
