    Samsung 850 pro warranty: How long to reach 150TBW ?

    Data: 150 TBW – Tera Bytes Written Time: 10 years Working backwards, this gives: 150 TB / (10 x 365) = 40GB daily write workload Therefore, if you write on average of 40GB to your drive, your warranty will be over in 10 years. If you double this amount per day, you will half your warranty...

    Func Announces HS 260 Gaming Headset with Removable Mic

    Moving the volume control and mute function for mic (which are normally on the in-line remote on the cables of headsets) to the ear pieces is the best thing I have ever seen on a headset. It is a great innovation. This, combined with detachable cable (with no in-line remote), makes this the most...

    Lian Li PC-A17A - drive cage be removed from the front?

    Nevermind. I found the answer here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2oFdNU2X2RU go to 2:50. It's not exactly the same case, but I believe most Lian Li cases have similar functions and the drive bay looks the same as that of the A17A. Therefore it should be removable the same way. This topic...

    Lian Li PC-A17A - drive cage be removed from the front?

    Four Lian Li cases. Which ones the best?

    Thanks for the input on your mod and config. Yes you are right about the budget lol. Those full towers are too much for me too. If they were worth the extra cost and would do me good in the long run, I would compromise and get one of those. But I'm not seeing too much benefits compared to the...
