Asus N53Jf or Asus N61Jv

Need Reference: Physical Data Recovery (Click of Death)

Hi all, I have a 200GB old (~6years) WD hard drive that suddenly got that "click of death". I *think* the problem is that head can no longer calibrate - I've tried freezing it and giving it a good knock but neither worked. I have no idea what's on the drive as I found it in a box of other...

Need Reference: Looking for a *reliable* small business web host

wow! tremendous amounts of information here, thanks! i think for phase 1 we are looking at a single host server for our databases, we do realize the necessity for redundancy incase of server failures or DoS attacks; but we're not big enough to really warrant multiple DB servers... (yet ;)...

Need Reference: Looking for a *reliable* small business web host

Sorry, I knew I should've been more specific here - what I mean by QoS is not like VoIP service or packet conditioning/traffic prioritization; what I mean by QoS is guaranteed uptime, bandwidth, storage. All sites that promote unlimited anything always have a clause in their TOS which state...

I've actually been too afraid to leave the computer on for more than a minute at a time, and my bootup usually takes about 2-3 mins. I've been doing the old school method of touching the heatsink to see if it's hot or not. But I guess I should a) dismantle the sinks and see if the contact is...
