SMART failure, need immediate help!

I received a similar message today: 3rd Master Hard Disk: S.M.A.R.T. Status: Bad. Backup and Replace. Press F1 to resume. Everything seems to be working......so far. How can I further evaluate this problem? How do I know really which drive is having a problem? (i.e. How can I find the...

Any chance of Anandtech reviewing the Voodoo F-1 Liquid Cooling system?

I hang out on the Voodoo forums (the Mutthaboards) quite a bit. Go check them out! :) There's lots of posts about this new cooling or "liquid chilling" system of theirs. Even their president and CEO posts there nearly daily. It is my understanding that Voodoo owns a substantial portion of...

Raptor Said "SeeYa", Video encoding the culprit?

Sorry to hear of the Raptor suffering the big one! :( However, it is my understanding that the Raptor drives are considered highly reliable with a better warranty and greater MTBF as they are enterprise level drives. Also, some formidable and reliable sources (storagereview.com among...

20-21 inch LCD

I just purchased a Planar PL201M. It has a MaximumPC Kick Ass product award. 1600x1200, 25ms response time, 500:1 contrast ratio. It rocks! Even though the native resolution of 1600x1200 may seem small, there are applications that can actually change the font/text sizes w/o compromising the...

Looking for ATC coolermaster case w/ 3 5.25 bays

I may be incorrect here, but doesn't the ATC-201C-SXK have 4 5.25 drives not 3? I haven't been able to find a mention of that model case with just 3 bays exposed. What is the need for 3 drives vs 4.?

Can anyone tell me how to set up RAID 0 on an ASUS P4P800?

I'm not sure if this would work or not. What about moving the driver file to a CD-RW and when the system boots use the F6 and utilize your DVD (CD) drive to install the driver?

Lcd screens for gamers?

Ahh man, I don't think anyone ever asked this before. :) I'm sure you'll find a lot of posts here about this topic. Generally for gaming you are looking for fast total (rise+fall) response times (16ms is a great target, but 25 ms is doable for many), good contrast ratios (400:1 or greater)...

Opinions on NEC LCD2080UX?

Excellent panel. Thin bezel. 25ms. Decent contrast ratio. I think you'll be happy. We'll be waiting a little while yet for 20" panels with 16ms response times. You might want to look at the Planar PL201 though. It does not have a thin bezel, but its contrast ratio is better (500:1 vs...

LCD for gaming yet?

Many of the 17" LCDs these days are very decent for gaming. The native resolutions tend to be 1280x1024, with high contrast ratios (500:1 to 700:1), with 16ms total response times (rise+fall). Add DVI inputs and brightness levels and you have a good combo for gamin. Many 18 and 19 inch LCD...

The best gaming moniter!

Great question! The 19"+ range for gaming LCD's is quite limited. The resolution for these screens seems to max at 1600x1200. Many are waiting for the 16ms or less response time from a panel this size....... and remain waiting. Right now the best seems to be about 25ms. Also look for a...
