    Green Hard Drives with Clear Tops and Lights

    I think the windowed hard drive is a good idea, but I don't think that it's something that consumers would necessarily pay a premium for. If I were you I would push to get it as a design feature for all drives, not just some. Stores have enough trouble stocking drives as it is, if they had to...

    Dell Honoring WD 200GB Drive for $22 after $200MIR

    Wow, their estimating sucks. I've been checking my status on their web site, last week, my rebate was Verified and Accepted on 11/19/2003 and my Date Rebate Shipped was 11/24/2003(est). I go to check today and my Date Rebate Shipped is 02/02/2004. They were only off by 2 and a half months. I'm...

    Dell Honoring WD 200GB Drive for $22 after $200MIR

    Hey all, I found a rebate locator on WD's site: http://rebates.westerndigital.young-america.com/LookupbyStreetNumberZipCode.asp It's a bit confusing because they give a date shipped and then a disclaimer saying it may take up to 6 weeks from the date the rebate was shipped to arrive. At the...

    42" plasma screen

    Didn't see this posted yet, Dell Home has the Panasonic TH-42PWD6UY 42" plasma tv for $2696 with free shipping and no tax in most states. Pretty hot if you ask me. Could be even better if there are any coupons floating around...

    calling all USB (thumb)drive owners! post your experiences

    I have one of the Dell 128mb flash drives from my office. Physical Size: a little wider than I would like. Due to the oval design of the body, it sometimes has trouble fitting into front USB ports where the drive's case interferes with it's ability to insert fully into the slot. It's also a...

    What are these dots?

    they are almost definitely being caused by improper video drivers. Try switching back to the last set of drivers that worked without giving you the dots.

    Need "G5" comparable system options: Budget is between $5-10K

    What made you decide on Dell? Personally, I don't find their machines to be all that great, and the configuration options for putting together a system just plain suck. The only reason to get a Dell is for the support, and even that isn't what it used to be. For comparison check out this...

    Photoshop benches: Dual G5 2.0 vs. Dual Xeon 3.06 and others: G5 wins.

    I can't believe no one mentioned the fact that the Dual G5 is being benchmarked vs a Dual Overclocked P4. I'd like to see the benchmarks from a non-overclocked system, or an overclocked 3.06 chip running at 3.2 or higher. As far as Photoshop as a benchmark is concerned, it's a pretty good...

    SCSI Raid vs SATA Raid!!!

    Another thing to keep in mind is that unless you have a fair number of drives (I'm not certain, but I'm guessing at least 3-4, but it would probably take more) then you aren't going to come close to using the full bandwith of a U320 controller. Aside from that, I don't think you'll see a whole...

    iPod users who use their Audigys for Firewire, Please read.

    First off, the 3rd gen ipods come with a firewire ac adapter. Simply plug in the included firewire cable to your adapter and dock and you can charge your ipod with no hassle. Personally, I opted to skip the firewire for transfering files and went out and bought Apple's Firewire to USB cable...

    Any ideas on what I found? Sun monitor

    what you found was a Sun monitor. While Sun monitors use the same connectors as a standard VGA monitor, they have different pin outs, thus the scrolling and the grey. I would suggest finding an adapter online someplace and trying it out, but it's likely that if someone was throwing it out...

    buying a prebuilt computer

    Do you deal with the same Dell I deal with? 4 years ago Dell had the best support in the industry. Today, their support just plain sucks unless you are dealing with their business support. That being said, Dell machines are pretty cheap and fairly reliable, especially on the desktop side of things.

    Booting Problem...Horribly Stuck

    I had nearly the exact same problem when setting up my last machine. I hooked everything up, turned on the computer and saw nothing but a black screen. No beeps, no errors, no POST, no nothing. In a fit of desperation, I decided to read every word in my motherboard's manual to ensure that I...

    Man .... those G5s

    No. Can you show me a G5 for US$1000? The G5 case looks very nice and Apple has a history of making cases that are very easy to upgrade parts in, but it seems to me like the G5 has serious limitations in terms of expansion. Where do I add a second cd drive? or a dvd drive? or a 3rd and 4th...

    Difference between 21" and 22" crt?

    the quoted size is usually the actual diagonal size of the picture tube. The viewable size is the largest diagonal that the tube can project pixels onto. (Keep in mind that often some of the picture tube is covered by the plastic molding around your monitor.)

    best gaming mouse?

    I'm thinking it's your 20 hour gaming sessions that are giving you CTS and not your mouse, although your mouse could be a contributing factor. In so far as the OP's question is concerned, Logitech and MS both make excellent mice with very good resolutions. Definitetly get an optical mouse as...

    New system, what is the best way to connect all these drives?

    Your system is lagging because IDE sucks. :P Basically, IDE controllers are only capable of accessing 1 drive per channel at a time. So if you are running an OS off of a drive on your primary channel, and then try to open a folder on a different drive on the same channel, your system will lag...

    Oh, please put me out of my misery

    What exactly does this mean? Is your system turning off? Is it crashing? Is it freezing? Is it Blue Screen of Deathing? It's possible that you have a video or audio driver conflict that is only coming up when you switch to 3d mode. I don't see anything in your hardware that indicates the...

    Hard Disk Speeds

    Partitioning will not affect hard drive speed. If you are using FAT or FAT32, partitioning will allow you to reduce the sector size of your disk, which in turn means you will have more efficient storage on your drive. For example, if your sector size on your drive is 16k, then any file that is...

    High end video editing rig

    I think firewire would be a must on this system because nearly every dv camera these days has a firewire out on it. I also think a single 120gb drive might not be enough storage space to do real editing. 7200 rpm also seems on the slow side for video. I don't see a real need for a solid 3d card...

    College rig: advice highly appreciated (*LENGTHY*)

    He could get equivilent 2d performance at far less cost by getting a solid 2d video card. I agree that an LCD is nice for college where space is an issue, but despite what people would like to believe, they are not yet ready for high performance gaming. They only work well in their native...

    College rig: advice highly appreciated (*LENGTHY*)

    I'm a little confused as to what you intend to use this computer for. You say you want sharp 2d performance and the ability to do some gaming combined with strong audio performance. However, you have selected a high end 3d card and 1gb of RAM, which indicates it's a gaming machine. Then I see...

    Misprice? LSI Logic 32-bit PCI Ultra2 SCSI LVD Host Adapter $27.55

    I don't see how SATA has killed SCSI at all. SCSI has nearly twice the bandwith (comparing ultra320 to SATA's 150) SCSI has the ability to put 15 devices on the chain comparted to SATA's ability to put 1 device on the chain. SCSI drives have faster spindle speeds which result in much lower...

    Computer Restarted for no reason
