I picked up a Chenbro RM24508M3RP5 rack mount chassis which seemed like a perfect way to build a low-cost storage server with some shucked 14 TB drives. Overall I'm moderately happy with the chassis except for one big issue - the fans are in high gear at all times, in wind turbine territory...

They've been pushing very hard to change that and it's only a matter of time from what Microsoft employees and Microsoft authorized distributors have been saying. According to them, the retail skus were supposed to disappear in November. However they're still available so who knows if...

While we're on the topic of what people clearly don't understand: GFC-02733 - Windows 7 Home Premium 64Bit Service Pack 1Pack English DVD License Pack Brown Box Local stock levels at one distributer, Toronto - 3232, Vancouver - 425, etc. WN7-00615 - Windows 8.1 Edition 64Bit 1Pack...

I also have a Razer DeathAdder, the original and the newer 2013 with 6400 dpi and I'm at the point of my life where I hate Razer products. Despite the great tracking and nice feel of the mouse, the quality of their products is terrible and their drivers require you to create an account...

I'm using a Dell U3011 which I picked up on sale about a year ago and while most wouldn't call it a gaming monitor, it's been excellent and I have zero complaints. The picture is sharp, colourful and black all the way around. The only downside is I wasn't able to get a smooth gaming experience...

I've had two ZR2740w's and both have been running fine without issue. I believe one of them is a couple years old now and I have zero complaints. Using DisplayPort via AMD video card on one and Intel onboard something or other via DVI for the other. Wish I could offer advice but it might be...

I'd like to know if they've created an efficiently usable interface for their new operating system. Mac OS has a 'dock' on the same screen that you work, this other operating system had a 'start menu', various flavours of *nix have GUI's with menus... Windows 8 though, it has this stupid page...

I reverted back to previous version drivers which were a few months prior, few versions earlier, and the problem still exists. Tried on a different monitor, same problem. Wasn't under or over scanned but simply... looked like shit. So I took the card, tried it in a brand new system and a fresh...

Yea, I tried all those settings and then some, both the GPU scaling and the ITC processing, and neither of them have a positive effect on my view. No matter what I check and uncheck, small text is unreadable and large text is blurry. I'm going to try this on a fresh system and see if it's...

I recently replaced my trusty old shader unlocked Sapphire 6950 which was hosting two 27" LCD's with an HIS Radeon HD 7950 that was on sale last week at NCIX. Never heard of HIS but I figured I'd take a chance... Basically, I removed the old video card and plugged the new one in, hooking...

I sent mine back and ordered a Dell that was on sale for the same price. The Dell may have been the lesser of the two monitors based on arguable specs; unfortunately the monitor would only display at 720 x 1280 through dual link DVI cable (tested many, including the supplied cable). According to...

Snagged them all, great selection, thanks! Are there any file hacks for Tropico that can be done to support resolutions like 1080p? I tried hardware rendering over software and it glitches the graphics (ATI card). Edit: Just noticed the manual, in PDF format is in the...

I call bullshit on this fluff piece article. You're a bad driver if you're stopped by the police. Period. What?! Driven the wrong way down a one way street? What the frak does that have to do with gaming, almost everyone has done that once in their life. That doesn't make you a bad driver and...

Intel ICH9R RAID5 array, had a couple of volumes in the array, deleted a smaller 200GB volume and only one 3.5 TB array left and want to add the left over 200GB to the 3.5TB array. Attempting to "increase size" prompts me if I'm sure, I click yes and then I immediately receive the error message...

Called again, same response, could not speak to a manager for an inexplicable reason, there was a large communication breakdown. I was basically told the same thing I was told previously, regarding firmware, but in different words. I was also told I could replace the drives with factory repaired...

Thanks for the replies, gents. novadude, that's a great link, I'm going to cite that in my next call. I miss support of the olden days, when you'd get people that cared to help you. The guy I spoke with today, in whatever country he was in, didn't seem to care at all about helping and gave...

I called Western Digital and met with failure. Response from support: 1) There are no firmware updates available for this drive, at least not from them (what?!) 2) After holding he went to see if there was anything else that could be done, and he said I could send the drives back for...

Wow, your googling beat mine. I found the 0C06 from Dell's page. I'll directly ask them about that version of firmware. Wish there was a method I could obtain online or some person that had the files they could send me today... :(

Yea, I'd contact their support, if they weren't strangely closed for New Years, which is bizarre since they outsource it to another third world country. Only open Monday - Friday, regular business hours CST... and I need to have this ready for Monday. Arghh!

I am attempting to build a RAID5 array on an Intel hardware controller card. The array either fails during slow initialization, or after initialization when I start dumping data to it in Windows. Other drives on this card work fine in RAID5; however I need WD1002FBYS to work in particular as...

Still for sale! References available upon request :)

Happy Easter! :)

Bump for $100 savings :D

Bumpity bump. Anyone with $900 burning a hole in their pocket?

Bump to curse pc299.

For sale is one brand new, unopened, retail boxed Intel Core i7-965 Processor Extreme Edition CPU for $900 US including shipping to your location in USA or Canada. Newegg.com's price - $999.99 USD + tax Newegg.ca's price - $1,249.99 CA + tax Again, this CPU has never been used and is in brand...

Not to mention, you're not even selling OEM software, wtf. If there's no COA, that's not OEM. You're a scammer.

You are completely incorrect. This does not meet MS OEM requirements. Microsot has explicitely stated since 2007 what constitutes as a PC which MUST be sold with Microsoft OEM sftware. Unless you are a Microsoft authorized distributer, you can not resell Microsoft OEM software... worst of...

As I said, drives are fine. This is happening with two of my USB / SATA connectors... ah well, I got around the problem. Maybe both chips have flaked out... thanks.

Wow, people in this thread argue about the cause more than people in the affected countries. If they don't care so much, why do you!? Egypt was only affected for about a day, and even then many people still had internet and access to various services. Services like MSN weren't working...

I've seen this problem before and I don't remember what my resolution was... I have hard drives that work fine inside a PC. Plug them into an external USB connector and they show up as "unknown" & "not initialized" in disk management. I obviously don't want to initialize them as I'll lose my...

Amazing drive... we primarily sell these and haven't had a single one come back on RMA. Not only are they fast, but they run cool and are whisper quiet.

Actually, it's interesting to note that most people 'over there' don't relate this to America at all. In fact, it seems to be the Americans that are creating the majority of the conspiracy theories. Now, as before, most of the people in the middle east that are experiencing this disruption...

i might have some SCA drives. I'll check.

Emulators are fine and dandy, and are decently accurate on PC and Xbox (I've modded several NES controllers for both Xbox and USB), but they'll never have the same precision accuracy that's noticeable to someone who grew up with these machines, as original system. I have a sizable collection...

Thanks for the bump... I'd also have the following that I'd add (all or some) towards the 6 mega-man: Kid Icarus, Rygar, Sky Shark Top Gun Top Gun 2 : Second Mission Tiger-Heli F-15 Strike Eagle Ultimate Air Combat I also have the following boxed with manuals for any...

I'm looking to buy the Mega Man collection for NES in one shot. I saw one auction go for $45 for all 6 last week, but I missed it.... everyone else seems to be charging $100 + shipping or even more outrageous pricing. I'm too impatient to wait to see them cheaper again, so was wondering if any...

Whoops, I probably should have mentioned, I was talking about workstations and not servers.

Our company mainly specializes in selling systems to business or corporate clients that often require systems with 24/7 uptime, continually processing data or systems of 'high reliability.' For years we'd built our systems with Western Digital's enterprise or "RE" line of products and in 5...

Seagate (R) is the kiss of death and has huge notoriety amongst resellers, where R = failure within 5 months. This might be different in USA, but here in Canada, anyone I know who's ever repaired or resold PC's on a large scale is aware of this notoriety.
