    I actually agree with Bill on this one. :eek4: Let's take something simple and make it way too complicated, expensive and inefficient. :idea:

    I am just so screwed - in two different ways. :x The good news is that the candy bar I had today contained no HFCS and the Tums contained sucrose. :elephant:

    There are probably other limits, such as one per street address. I remember in the olden days I had 4 Radio Shack accounts with slightly different names at the same address - plenty of free batteries. :)

    I had a feeling it was something gross.:puke-l: It reminds me of that British dish that must prepared just so in the oven.

    I thought it was 48 hrs or some such interval.

    Because it is disgusting? I have teeth and refuse to eat soft potatoes. I am not sure what gravy is, but I don't like the look of it.

    There are reasons to buy from a reliable supplier, but Eggs were out of stock. Slow shipping would probably have been worse.

    Heh, I have a friend who visits Thailand a couple times a year for around 6 weeks each time. He's had a lot of physical therapy there. :sunny:

    Those high stock numbers are often bogus. I think it means that some distributor has 250 on order. 50 websites probably show those same quantities. :(

    Weird free space problem with 2TB drive

    Oh crap. :crap: I forgot if there is a Samsung utility to align the partition like the one WD has.

    Lucky you. I discovered that my last copy was a Newegg ripoff, so I don't have any. What did you find at retail?

    Areca ARC 11xx + SF-1200 or X25m

    There are a gazillion PCI cards to SATA in the $15-20 range. I suggest buying one. :)

    3TB HD from WD

    Yeah, well two unproven 3TB WD drives in RAID 0 are a gamble. :smurf: I'd rather use them individually.

    You bought new 500GB drives? Why not get at least 1TB drives, which are very cheap now?

    I'm sure that Seagate is old news. We really need larger amounts of flash - maybe even the option to use it as a separate drive.

    You must have cables or something connecting it to everything else. Where are the monitor and printers?

    LCD Woes

    The leopards, lions, hyenas and even cheetahs don't have any power tools so they can be messy. :bsmurf: Hyenas are particularly nasty as they don't wait to for the prey animal to die before starting in on it.

    I've nothing else to do and there is the recovery of life. You of all people should remember the olden times. OTOH, I think it was a reference to Tony. ;)

    3TB HD from WD

    I don't understand that. Say the drives are 75% full (4TB) and you generate and delete 100GB per day. How long will it take to synchronize the drives and how long is the rebuild time across the network when one fails?

    Toshiba, Realtek and Microsoft shit eaters.

    Acer notebooks are awesome. Still have one where the SD card slot does not work due to the cruddy driver.

    Don't they provide or sell a recovery disk?

    When to Build New System

    That case is probably fine, but it it a lesser concern at the moment. It is not available in the stores and right now I have no way to receive a case. There is no RAM, so it is kind of screwed this week anyway.

    Weird free space problem with 2TB drive

    I'd zap the MBR and start over. Also consider running the full diagnostic utility. I have an empty F4 here that I could test, for something.

    When to Build New System

    What? Maybe Tony's arboreal alterego could manage, but I use the left hand for direct access. Primarily I turn on/off the large red rocker switch for some of the drives; that is easy to reach without looking. The computer power is remote controlled via mini X-10 RF xmitter located a few...

    When to Build New System

    I'm sure a rack case would fit somewhere with long cables and/or remotes, but I want the computer near my left leg for direct access.

    Two 3TB drives in RAID 0. What can go wrong? :o

    3TB HD from WD

    WD has been good for me. Much better than the DOA or dying Seagates and somewhat better than the one out of five Samsungs that have bad sectors from the start.

    When to Build New System

    I will be using this HSF. I will use the Antec Soltana II for now, until I decide where to go in caseland. I can't decide what to do since the RAM is MIA, but I need to put everything together this weekend.

    Why 4, are you configuring them for RAD 10?

    There were 6 left at $130. SD should buy them all. I have no use for F3 drives at that price. If anything I want more WD2001FASS drives. :)
