    Lian Li: PC-100 "The Hammer" (Put to the Test)

    Do system components stay as cool inside a case with a rotated motherboard design as they do when they are inside a case with a more conventional design? Is the design of the PC-100 well thought-out when it comes to air-flow, thermal-flow & cooling? In this post, I hope to address all these...

    W8 RTM Build Announcement Reportedly Coming in July

    I'm not interested in how well Windows 8 compares to Vista. These are the questions in which I'm interested: How well does the user interface of Windows 8 compare to the user interface of Windows 7 on a desktop that uses a keyboard & mouse? If I much prefer the type of user interface that...

    Adobe Releases Firefox Flash Player Crash Fix

    I think Adobe has more work to do on their end. Be sure to submit a crash report when a crash happens. I'm not sure why you would still want to use Firefox 3. It's not like it's an Adobe: Creative Suite program and it's going to cost you a lot of money to upgrade to the latest version. What...

    I'm using Firefox 14 & SeaMonkey 2.10.1 and I'm not having any problems with either of the browsers or with Adobe: Flash. I know people who are using Firefox 13.01 & the latest version of Adobe: Flash who aren't having any problems either. If you're using any version of Firefox that's older...

    HDDs for home archiving purpose

    I couldn't agreed with you more. I contacted Seagate. Seagate said neither Seagate nor Samsung produce Samsung hard disk drives (HDDs) anymore. He said he is sure of this for the "America regions," but could not speak for other regions. I'm not too concerned about Samsung HDDs because they...

    HDDs for home archiving purpose

    HDDs for home archiving purpose

    That is simply not true. Only Seagate has drastically reduced their warranty coverage. Seagate's Barracuda line now only has a 1 year warranty. To make matters worse, the Barracuda line is only meant for "on as needed use" (8 hours a day, 5 days a week operation) Although, Seagate has recently...

    HDDs for home archiving purpose

    I called Seagate & spoke to pre-sales. I was informed that the Seagate: Barracuda desktop hard drives are designed for only "on as needed" use (8 hours a day, 5 days a week operation). He said leaving the computer on all the time is "always on" use (24 hours a day, 7 days a week operation)...

    HDDs for home archiving purpose

    The Hitachi Deskstar hard drives I bought that weren't DOA didn't last me as long as the Western Digital hard drives have. However, these were the Caviar: Black line, which is Western Digital's top line of consumer drives. After trying different hard drives from Hitachi, Seagate, and Western...
