I have two Samsung 120gigers. Couple things though: 1. Doesn't work in my dual bay 3.5" firewire bay. 2. After 1 year, my 2nd Samsung developed a slightly louder sound. Both HD's are quieter than my Seagate IV and V's but now the 2nd Samsung is now just as loud as my Seagate V 120gig. 3...

I have the same HD, and yes, that is normal. Don't worry about it, I have a 80gig WD and that's hot enough to cause 3rd degree burns on my fingers (no joke). I do recommend to put a fan on it. That drops the temp all the way down to 29-31 C. It doesn't have to be a high speed fan, I'm using a...

Gack... close this thread, I found the answer... Damn annoying, no wonder I was losing data. XP didn't have the LBA register set to On. I thought SP1 update would automatically set that. Ok, I turned the registry on. Now it works.

Ok, yeah, I read the info alot more closely. I was planning to get the P4P800 dlx, didn't know the 800E was missing the extra headerboard. Beautiful... I have no SATA drives at all. Time to buy a ATA/SATA converter. Okay, let's stick with just question #2 as I listed above. I need to know the...

One small problem... there's only 1 RAID connector. That's right, just one. That's what threw me off, I built my father's PC that has RAID built in, and that had 2 header boards on it. This mobo has 1.

Hey guys, need some help here. Question #1 The Via RAID is performing slow as hell. Maybe I have it physically connected the wrong way, but at the moment, I have 1 80-pin IDE cable connected to both 120gig Samsung's as Master/Slave. In Sandra, I'm getting max of 41meg/sec with 64k cluster and...

I just bought this 3.5" two bay Firewire 400 case about 2 days ago. Contrary to what it says, it does come with 6ft long firewire cable. Decent quality, but it does the job. http://www.compgeeks.com/details.asp?invtid=MAP-302F-01&cat=CAS Couple catches with this thing. 1) It doesn't like...

Bah, nothing worked. Like I said, no sounds, no case LEDs, no post, nothing. No grounding issue either. Just PSU fan running, all voltage reports fine (tested with my multimeter), and mobo LED light is on. The 9700 Pro works fine in all my older 8x and 4x AGP mobos. One of those PC's will get...

Hey guys, need a hand here. Got a brand new ASUS P4P800 mobo. It wouldn't POST, no Power LED, no sounds, no video, nothing. Took it all apart to the bare essentials (1 stick 512meg DDR400, video card, CPU, nothing else) and finally narrowed it down to the Saphire Radeon 9700Pro. I've already...

I actually have two of those Samsung DDR400 512meg CAS 2.5. I bought them after discovering that the Corsairs won't run at DDR400 or faster. Running without a hitch on my GA-8SG667, 2.66 OC 3.0Ghz for past 2 weeks. Like any other Samsung DDR, you need to burn them to get your maximum performance...

No, read it carefully. I'm building a leechstation. It has two purposes: 1. Download stuff off the net through Kazaa, IRC, DC, Hotline. All 4 take a while to leech stuff. 2. Run mIRC Sysreset fserve (sorta like ftp). Running fserves give me additional permissions in IRC so I can leech stuff...

Relax and chill... I know what I'm talking about. I have a Pentium 200MX station. I already tried to use it as a leech station. The problem I encountered was: 1. WinXP doesn't run on this system. Incompatible. Go figure. Win98 is too unstable on this POS 2. sysboard and processor is too slow...

Got a question for you hot shots... Goal: Build a super quiet PC leech station for Kazaa Lite, IRC, ftp, DC, hotline, etc. Criteria: 1. Must be super quiet. Cannot exceed 30 dBa, no exception. Strongly prefer 20 dBa. 2. Low heat. Current leech PC outputs enough heat to raise the room temp...
