The drives I have at work are 5400Rpm's

Will those work? Do you still need them?

 

[xtc28]

[xtc28]

They are SATA right?

 

[OvrClkr]

Those would be good for a raid........ How many do you have and what will it take foe me to get my hands on them.

 

[xtc28]

low power consumption raid to run off batteries

 

[OvrClkr]

Let me see how many I can get and I will let you know....

 

[xtc28]

SSSSSSWWWWEEEEEETTTT!!!

 

[OvrClkr]

How long will the zotac RMA take?

 

[xtc28]

I dont know when Im going to be able to get one right now. Money is tight and it will have to be when I buy another one, I cant find the manual and stuff *shrugs*
Right now tonight I have install an Asus M3N78-Vm Micro-ATX inthe place of the left hand Zotac for now. I have also finished more brackets to add the next Atx board an ECS RS780M-A. Both boards are equipped with an Athlon X2 5800+ non-BE(all I could spare) It is turning out o be an interesting turn, but it will not last when I get the Other Zotacs.

xtc, How does that ECS work? I heard a lot of stories about them being not very good boards...

 

[xtc28]

I havent had a single problem at all from it..... whatso ever

 

[overshocked]

Hey what do you guys think about making a giant raid array of like $10 7200 rpm drives?

Like 20 of them?

Hmm...That's nice to know for the future...

That would be pretty crazy! But how much space would they each have if they're $10 drives?

 

[overshocked]

^ Say like 80 gigs.

There is a good will spesifically made for electronics around me and they literally have bins full of hard drives.

 

[videl]

That would be very interesting...but I don't think we have any good wills for electronics around here...or at least I'm not sure about it...

 

[the last resort]

i have a question about some heatsink stuff. right now the main theme for my case is as black as possible on the inside. i was thinking of spraypainting my heatsinks the same black as the rest of the inside. Have any of you guys had any experience with this, and do you guys think it will insulate it? I don't want to have super high temps, but i have a headroom of 10 some C on my proc and 70C headroom on my videocard. Ideas anyone?
