    Cooler for 4850?

    I'm looking for a decent but quiet aftermarket cooler for my 4850. The accelero rev2 looks to be a nice option. There's the HR-03gt which is better, but is it $50 better?

    Seagate Barracuda 7200.11 1TB Failure Rates?

    The 1tb 7200.11 drives are under $100 now over on Newegg and I'm looking to upgrade from my 300gb 7200.7. I'm a little cautious though because there seems to be a high amount of drive failures with this particular drive. Has the been a fix for the failures? Is it worth the taking the risk?
