I would like to see a front USB-C connector. Agree on the whole sans fans and RGB controller too. Would be nice to have a cheaper option without that stuff. Otherwise, looks great. Count me interested.

Cool, thanks. Picked up Codenames. However, looks like some of the other listed already jumped in price.

I think the music helps with the relaxing part.

I liked the sound of it but the marbles bouncing around in the background is distracting. Still amazing work though.

Reminds me of World of Goo.

The pic on the front page has a case from an old Gateway 2000 case from the 486/Pentium 1 days. Brings back fond memories of the one I had. Looks like it has one of those dual 5.25/3.5 floppy drives too. Even though I thought that machine was the best back in '96, I gotta wonder why someone...

I had this problem too until I found the "cover the pins" trick. I used a very small piece of electrical tape. I also wrapped the tape ever-so-slightly to the other side (but without covering the pins on the other side) to make sure it stayed in place while inserting the card into the slot...

Uber is basically a cab company. Is a NYC cab company worth $17B? I doubt it. Then why would Uber be worth that much?

I was hoping for an easy utility that could modify parameters of the drive but after further research, I think it's more involved than that. It looks like I need a 232 to TTL adapter and connect it up to the extra pins next to the data cable on the drive. Seems doable if I get the adapter but...

Windows 7. I'm using the SAS ports on my Asus P6T Deluxe motherboard if that helps. The Seagate Tools software works with the drive OK but doesn't appear to have the ability to change parameters. Probably because turning off offline scanning would void the warranty but I don't care about that.

I have a Seagate Constellation ES.2 drive I'm using in my desktop for mass storage. There's a feature with the enterprise class drives that auto scans the hard drives for problems when the drive is idle. Since the drive is idle most of the time, the constant hard drive seeking noise is driving...

I need one so I can replace my stupid comcast DVR with an instant-on zero-lag HTPC.

I'm just starting an OpenIndiana + Napp-It build and I'm wondering if this would be a good boot drive for OpenIndiana?
