OK now I see. Back in the 70s we called the cars low riders. I dunno about the "rice." The PS for the lights should have some safety device but maybe they are poorly designed. I am glad there was no serious damage. I would not have a light in the case cause dust accumulates easily and...

It has 22A on the 12V rail. The video card is old cool one that has no fan and there is only one P4 CPU. There should be should be power left for four hard drives I think.

:o (Sorry, couldn't resist.) The Ultra 133 cards are fine.

I played with the wires and I see nothing unusual in the event logs. The Asus probe was running last week and did not alarm. The failure must be fast. This is the P4 system so a drop on the 12V rail could cause all sorts of errors. Assuming it is the PSU, that would be the least expensive...

Over the past few weeks one of the hard drives in my PC has been spontaneously spinning down and then quickly restarting. I think it is the Cheetah 15k.3 (C: drive) because the BSOD is immediate but there are three other hard drives too. I switched around the molex plugs from the PSU in case...

Is the nanode a complete minature PC or just the barebones? There is no mention of the hard drive. Is it a standard 2.5" notebook drive?

RAM seems to be going up for sure. I do not know about other components. How many kids or parents are buying new PCs in March compared to August? Less I think.

What are fluorescent lights doing inside the computer case? Is it like a refrigerator where the lights come on when the cover is opened?

Is that a new drive or the same one that was announced a few months ago for embedded applications? It must be cheaper than flash or what is the point?

Forget all the server stuff, I merely desire a pair of 36GB single platter 15K drives.

Hakuba and Slik may be good options at the low end, but I have no experience with them. There are often used Hakubas floating around as people upgrade. The number of sections is often a big factor in cost. Even the cheaper Gitzo 3-section CF tripod legs would be in your price range, <$300...

Does the number represent only the people who are logged in?

That is ridiculous! Try filling the bogus partitions with spanned winRAR files until the entire drive is full. Then test the files. ;)

Will there soon be equivalent offerings from Seagate and Maxtor? I prefer the Cheetahs.

Most small ball heads do not have a quick release plate. You could buy a small one. What will you 'pull over' to shoot?

Of course I knew Tony was Tea, Tannin, CNN Sport (longest thread ever at the old SR), Grammar Police (not "Policy" I think), but does Ekaf-amI = I'm a fake?

Is there a definitive x-ref list of personalities? Gary has a bunch of them but most of the others alter egos are confusing.

Then please keep on posting. :) I am also curious to see what happens when the odometer rolls over to 10K.

I'm glad that you are still here, literally. Last year I had some real concerns. :(

Here. I replaced a Fujitsu 5400 rpm drive with one. The 7k60 is really fast for a notebook drive and quiet too. :) (Ok, it is not a 15K.3, but still.) I wish they also made one in the 30Gb capacity.

Only 5400 rpm? Where are the Seagate fast notebook drives such as Hitachi/IBM 7200 rpm, already available for six months?

It means that for example, say there is an incident or situation in Europe. I am in the US and some other members are at various locations in Germany, Japan, Scotland, US and England. In that case it was only a 1.5 hour domestica flight. I was standing by basically 24/7 at one of our US...

I go in if I can function. We get no sick days per se, so vacation days are lost. The worst is travelling when sick. It's no fun being part of the global respnse team and having to fly to a site, sit around three days when the temps are well below zero, and suffer with a "10" cold virus. :(

I missed the 5 platters, Blake. These drives are a good indication that the technology is progressing. Even 60GB/platter is a healthy increase over the available 36GB/platter 10K drives. The other players may be holding out for 72GB/platter at 10K to achieve the traditional 2x SCSI capacity...

Very impressive, but won't Seagate, Maxtor and Fujitsu also have similar drives? I would like a big Cheetah if it is not a long wait. Seagate has been good for me.

Mine is also about:blank.

Doug, You know that 2.7 has been around for about 3 months, right? The best part is that the new HDTach DTR test is even faster and less accurate than ever. ;) :(

Thanks. It acts the same on two systems. It is now connected to the laptop. The power saving is set to 30 minutes so that is not a cause. I think there is something in the firmware of generic Oxford 911 bridge.

I have the IDE drive in an external FireWire/USB 2 enclosure. The drive spins down about every 10 minutes if not accessed. When accessed, the computer hesitates until the drive spins up again. Yeah, the behaviour is normal, but is there something that can be done? Maybe some simple ap that...

Same here. One or more large drives is on sale w/rebate at a major store every day. I like the retail packaging and ability to return the odd drive that is bad out of the box, too. The loudest drive ever was a WD-BB and each of the half-dozen WD drives >30GB/platter were noisy. I sold all...

I'm just glad it is over. I never liked Feb. 14 even in the 70s and 80s when I had some contact with women. It seemed like a contrived compensation for acting badly the other 364.2425 days of the year.

I would vote for the blocking if I could. :lol:

Oh, I don't like that one bit. :x Where will the devices fit in the typical 10-bay tower?

"Life sucks and then you die." :roll:

That is too practical. Unfortunately some persons at some other sites are single-mindedly interested in benchmarks as the task. ;)

:o I can't believe you still have those striped 30GB 75GXP drives chugging along! When was that, Q3 '00?

SR is all wacky now with much garbage on the home page. :(

Not all chipsets have this limitation. If yours has CSA, then use the integrated LAN to reduce traffic on the PCI bus.

Jan 2003: XP (Palamino) @1.87GHz, 2048MB PC2100, 15K.3, Western Digital, etc., two geriatric 32x12x48 CD-RW. Jan 2004: P4 @3.45 GHz, 2048MB PC3200, 15K.3, Western Digital, etc., Lite-on 16x48x24x48 DVD/CD-RW and DVR-106D. Same old mouse, monitor, keyboard and most of the same hard drives. It...

The installer killed my system!

OK. I have a better understanding now. :o *sigh* If only I could be a regular as in the good old days at SR. :(

Maybe a rounding error? He left for SR. Kids. :roll:

The top 10 members represent nearly 50% of the posts. Is that a healthy proportion? Where is the P Wiz lately?

It was -21°C (-6°F) in NH this morning with 13 MPH winds, so the wind chill made it even worse. At some point the numbers are kinda meaningless. I just know it was truly cold.

Has SR finally passed on? Is it just another MFB situation?

It is getting worse. TA is up to his old delusions. Maybe TA and the GHz are alter egos? Must refrain from posting at SR. Must refrain. :x

I think Gary is a Nikon guy. I shot Nikon for over 25 years, so I know a little about that system, too. :wink: The 1Ds is full frame as well, but in a totally different class. It is built on the rugged, high-performance 1v body. The Kodak is a hybrid built from some of the cheaper Nikon...
