Well actually, if the water was demineralized (aka "distilled") it would be okay temporarily, so long as they were quickly air dried after the fact (and maybe put away under some dessicant). Going with an educated guess that's not what happened here.

I have a 1300w Seasonic Gold, so makes no difference to me. (Currently running a 6600xt, for your amusement :LOL:)

jonyahStupid. The company, not this worker. This company just fired their star coder. Regardless of whether or not he did the actual work, it was all legit work. He got the job done that he was given, despite his artistic way of doing it. Yes, he was smart to get someone else to do it for...

koga73Ha 100,000 over a stupid button that says "I'm 18. Enter" that stops NOBODY.Anyways it's not playboys responsibility to "'protect children from pornographic material" that responsibility belongs to the parents. That's the UK, and the majority there are lost on this concept of personal...

didgetmasterThe other barrier to adoption is a lack of good data management systems that automatically put the right data on the right device without a lot of complicated user setup and continued vigilance to keep everything in the right place. You mean if Microsoft and Apple spent their...

And that, folks, is why you never, EVER buy someone a gift card as a gift!

This just confirms my beliefs that the average Dell customer is a sucker.

....Orrrrr.... People could just keep sticking to Win 7....

UPDATE: Giving up, unless someone has a solution. Went into Windows partition manager after installing the Marvell drivers manually (auto-detect didn't work), created a mirror array out of both drives. However, it's my understanding that performance is seriously degraded runnning a "RAID 1"...

Cannot for my life seem to get the Marvell RAID controller (3gb/s) onboard to create a RAID array. It just hangs, even after I set SATA to RAID mode in the BIOS (which, from my limited research, will also mean I will need to reinstall Windows on my SSD hanging off the Intel channel, as SATA is...

Anyone handle this thing? Only possible reason I can think of to go Dell is the Gorilla glass. (Due out sometime soon?) The base model isn't even cheaper than the upgraded Acer... And god help you if you decide to put some common options on it! (Still looking for a Toshiba ultrabook for myself.)

That 9000 Pro was the cat;s meow for the price. A real deal of sorts. Just pretty disappointed you skipped over the 9800 Pro 128mb. It was the epic of all epic (especially for the price), right before al the graphics' manufacturers went over to new (major) architectures. (Anyone remember...

FOr the record, I have a D-Link Xtreme PCI-E 4x card. Still wondering what to do with that PCI-X slot though. :p

I have a Kingston Value drive with the JMicron controller... Whomever said it was stutter-free is full of BS. That being said, it's blazing-fast compared to the IDE drive I was running before.

Someone is gonna feel mighty stupid when the internal battery dies in 10 years, and the card is worthless. :p
