I checked the e-mailed ad. They're OEM. link

You guys don't get it. We're wasteful Americans. It's wrong to have a better standard of living than other countries.

Hey check me out! I'm dancing! I'm dancing!

No idea on that one.

Ahhh... The joys of watercooling. I did it once, and wouldn't do it again.

Microcenter has these for $119.99 in store (limit 1).

I'm gonna guess there's a typo in there. 19 in^3 would be 2.66" x 2.66" x 2.66". :rofl:

Yeah, but he's not trying to heat water, he's trying to cool the water block.

Oh sure... now you get thrifty... :p

I'm pretty sure they have thermal protection to stop that. You could fire it up without the HSF and not cook it (if it's like past models).

So it could be that port 3 doesn't support 2000gb drives, not the cable.

When you switched the cables between the drives did you also change the port on the motherboard the cables were plugged into? IE: Drive A to Port 3 with cable A = 1000GB IE: Drive B to Port 4 with cable B = 2000GB swap IE: Drive A to Port 3 with cable B = 2000GB IE: Drive B to Port 4 with...

Are they both connected to the same SATA controller? The 2TB Samsung I bought for my Dad first showed up as ~931GB in Windows / 1000GB in the BIOS until I flashed the computer's BIOS to the latest beta BIOS (nForce 430 chipset). Then it showed up as 2000GB in the BIOS, but still ~931GB in...

At some point you gotta stop pouring money into that thing. :p Replacing the L shaped lamps in the LCD module is not a trivial task. I wouldn't really advise it.

Well, the tubes in the backlight could be old / aged to the point where they are beyond the ability of the inverter to drive them for a long period of time. It's also possible the main control board is malfunctioning and telling the inverter to shut down. That seems somewhat unlikely to me...

Your doctor advised you against using a tracking astrophotography mount and intervalometer for your camera? :dunno: It sounds very peculiar indeed.

Ahh yes, the typically cryptic response.

I drove behind an ugly light green Ford focus today that had the personalized plate of "WHT RBT"

That's his MO.

WD already has drives that use larger sectors. Apparently, it/they doesn't perform well under XP as a results of partition alignment issues. However, I wasn't aware that larger sectors gets around the 2TB limitation Windows XP x86 has though. I'm pretty sure it doesn't. XP doesn't support...

So this will be the first HD drive that is not compatible with Windows XP (x86). Interesting...

You must blow over in the wind or something. :p

I now weight 12.5 stone. I used to weight almost 16 stone (since we're talking in stone and all).

I only wanted one (bought last week). My Dad wanted one too, so I bought another yesterday. So, I'm good for now.

Weird... I tried that last week, and it didn't work (only took off $30). They must have changed it this week.

Apparently.

How did you get 2 of them? Isn't the promo code good for only one use? :dunno:

There was a promo code for $30 off. They had the same deal last week too. I bought myself one last week and my dad one today.

Well, you'll just have to put yours back on the shelf to collect dust then. :lol:

FWIW, Ken Rockwell swears the 5D MkII is now a totally different camera with the 2.04 firmware update that he now loves. :o Link (you'll have to scroll down a bit since I can't link directly to it)

We must have different definitions of "fun". :scratch:

Or these. 4.5" reach would get you anywhere on an 8.5" wide sheet of material. Under $15.

How come you can't use something like this?

So, Udaman finally wore out his welcome? :owneddnce:

But will it have an i7 under the hood? ;)

Hard to say. It depends if the inverter reports back to the control module that it's shut off and then the control module turns off the panel. That sounds a little too smart for it. The CCFL tubes in a backlight are good for maybe 20k hours. They gradually dim over time reaching half...

Before I ever started. ;)

Get a really bright flashlight and see if there's still an image on the screen when it goes blank, meaning the backlight turned off (bad inverter maybe) or if panel goes blank but the backlight stays on (bad logic board maybe). If you test in a dark room you'll be able to tell if the backlight...

I've never stayed in a hotel that didn't have crappy broadband. They all suck. Some just suck a little less than others.

Well, I had to click on it in order to report it. :???:

I've got some Noctua and Scythe's. So far so good.

That sucks. I don't think I have any SilenX fans in any of my systems.

How about taking this issue to PM's? I do not see the need for an unnecessary public lashing of Handy. :bstd:

Funny how that never made it into any media reporting. ;)

What did it say since they pulled it?

For which? The 50GB discs are part of the original format definition.

Well, dual layer Blu-Ray discs are 50GB.

:erm: April fools was 27 days ago... Oh wait... It's not a joke. :o

1) Buy a camera 2) Take some pictures 3) Start a website 4) ... 5) Profit

Well, FWIW you can hook a blu-ray player up to a non HDTV. You could also get a Blu-Ray ROM drive for your PC and use playback software (assuming your display is HDCP compliant).
