    n00b SATA questions

    I'm building a new box and for the first time I'll be using SATA drives. It will have 2 drives, a 150gb raptor (SATA150) & a 500gb barracuda (SATA 3.0 gb/s). Both drives are OEM and do not come with cables. Is there a preferred cable brand/type for SATA drives? Does cable insulation...

Her old machine cost just over 4K, and was (near) top of the line when it was purchased (I didn't...

    Building new machine

    I've been tasked with building a new machine for my better-half. For a little background the system I will be replacing has been in service (with only 3 upgrades) since 1997. It's a P2/400. So what I'm looking to build is a machine with stability and longevity. Here is what I have already...
