    Seagate 2TB $89.99 (FreeShip) @ NewEgg

The internal one had long pauses during file transfers and the external one had the click...

    Seagate 1.5TB $117 Fry's B&M/Online

    Thought I'd save a bunch of you guys some frustration. PLEASE DON'T BUY THIS HARD DRIVE NO MATTER HOW CHEAP IT IS. I just picked up one today at Frys, latest CC1H firmware. plugged into my WHS and noticed some stuttering (pauses or does nothing) when writing to the drive (no clicking tho). Took...

    WHOA Western Digital Caviar GP 1TB SATA/300 ( 139.95 ) NR

    it's a risk. how can you know if they really "fixed" it? or did they just throw a band-aid on it and send it back out? how long was the hard drive used and in what environment before it was sent in to be "fixed"? it is a used part, plain and simple, and it's a huge risk to buy anything...

    RETAIL Intel Q6600 - $189.99 + shipping at FRYs.com

    Keep us updated on what you can get out of your Q. I got mine from Fry's about a week ago and can only get 3.6GHz using 1.5V. My VID is 1.325V and the Batch is L803A... pack date 3/31/08. A lot of the newer batches are poor overclockers. I'm thinking of exchanging mine for a different one before...

    Quality of Tivo vs. HTPC /w PVR-150

    Thanks. I'm looking at using MCE for hassle free operation, but I suppose I can try downloading the demo versions of SageTV and BeyondTV and try them out to see if I can tell the difference.

    Quality of Tivo vs. HTPC /w PVR-150

    Hi, Regarding video quality, is there a noticable difference between a Tivo and a HTPC? I have enough spare computer parts to build a couple of HTPCs for my house. I'm planning to buy some PVR-150s as the tuners. Downstairs I plan to hook up the HTPC to my TV's DVI port, upstairs I plan to...

    Seagate 400GB 7200RPM Serial ATA Hard Drive 169.99 + shipping

    I don't understand the warranty claim though, Seagate offers 5 year warranty on all newer drives. Why is it "90 Days, up to 2 year Seagate Warranty"? Surplus also claims the drive is "new" so what's the deal?

    Biostar Tforce overclocking stories??

    If it is a PSU problem, monitor the voltage line with speedfan and see if it is relatively flat at 12V, if it is really bad, the computer will reboot on you under load. For memory the symptoms have a little more gray area. It could be not being able to post, errors in memtest or prime95 large...

    Biostar Tforce overclocking stories??

    Fact of the matter is, higher voltage yields lower reliability. You can pump as much voltage as your e-penis desires, but you'll pay for it by shortening lifetime over the long haul. I ruined a P4 1.6A with just 1.6V (stock was like 1.4V) and a 50% overclock after a little over a year. People at...

    Biostar Tforce overclocking stories??

    People what's the fuss about having a super high HTT speed? It makes no noticeable difference in benchmarks or any other application. Better to just leave it in spec, you are stressing components for no real gain.

    System Temps with Digital Meat Thermometer

    It varies by motherboard. There is a small chip on top that has its own thermal diode and also reads CPU and chipset thermal diode outputs. A common one used to be the LM75 (has 8 pins), but there are many different ones used now.

    Biostar Tforce overclocking stories??

    from the little that I know about electronics, a voltage regulator keeps voltages flat at a set voltage despite fluctuating current demands. Are you talking about cool n quiet??? EDIT: oh yeah, ok i know what you guys are talking about.The thing that allows you to set your own voltage limits...
