Naw, local storage is plenty for almost every notebook user. 100+ GB is a lot of documents. Store archived data and other non-essentials (porn?) on external or networked storage for easy access at home or in the office.

That's the thing about notebook docking stations. They offer standard display interfaces (VGA, DVI-I, etc.), better video capabilities (with Lenovo's ThinkPad Advanced Dock, anyways), and more drive expansion options. I am considering the purchase of an eSATA ExpressCard adapter so that I can...

The claim was that notebooks are "expensive," not "more expensive." Big difference. You're right, but I guess the trend towards people purchasing notebooks really shows who are serious gamers and who are casual gamers. Most people know which category they fall into, and if they don't, they...

Notebooks are neither expensive nor difficult to upgrade. I would go so far as to say that most common upgrades are easier on a notebook since the upgrade bays are easy to identify and access, and the proliferation of PC Card, ExpressCard, Bluetooth, etc. devices means that upgrades are...

Price of chassis + drive dropped to $90.

Bump. To anyone interested, I will entertain all serious offers, so give me a shot. I'd really like to get this out the door before school resumes.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but the AIW X800XT doesn't apply to the trade-in program.

He will not upgrade for a while.

How is this videocard? (Radeon 9800SE for $59) http://shop.ati.com/product.asp?sku=2970123

I'm out of the AGP loop, and my brother with an Athlon XP 3200+ wants an AGP upgrade for his decrepit GeForce FX 5200 card. He's into FPS-type games, so that should weigh into the selection. Budget is $150, no more than $200. New or used videocards are okay. Obviously, with a system like...

I'm moving away soon and can't justify a second PC, so I'd like to offer my fellow [H]ers an opportunity to get a foundation for a great Mini-ITX HTPC setup for a great price. ... Casetronic Travla C137 Mini-ITX chassis Official product page...

Though from experience, you never get anywhere near 6 hours in Stamina mode (integrated graphics enabled). With the extended battery which protrudes from the notebook chassis, you might manage that, but I've never used that ugly creature of a battery.

Yes, but it's not compatible with the X series :rolleyes:.

Yes, but a drive failure containing all of your data is a lot more catastrophic. How can you not consider this possibility?

My Sony's polarized coating is only semi-glossy. I love the image quality so far.

Not bad for Seagate's latest - 320 GB for ~$112: http://www.buy.com/retail/product.asp?sku=202557401

Direct CPU interfacing could be interpreted as an advantage. Performance could be better depending on the application--for instance, very latency-sensitive applications would stand to gain from what HTX claims to offer. There aren't any hard numbers to compare, at least none that I've seen...

This is ridiculous. "Power users," as you put it, should know that 5.1 and 7.1 output over a digital connection is the exception, not the rule, in PC audio. M-Audio is certainly in no position to deceive the consumer of that, because the consumer thusfar has not likely encountered a card with...

My sister just ordered a Tom Bihn Soft Cell for her E1505. It was about $30.

If you look at Seagate's press releases, you'll see that these announcements are almost just a roadmap of products to come. Some of the products will not see availability until 2007 (Seagate's words).

Well, it turns out I was getting delayed-write errors due to a few bad sectors in the Master File Table. Using SeaTools from Seagate, I was able to isolate those bad sectors, and now the drive functions properly, without a need to format!

NTFS. I could do that, but it seems unnecessary for a simple USB enclosure.

My recently purchased Bytecc ME-835 enclosure does not appear to work properly with my Seagate Barracuda 7200.8 160 GB drive. When connected to my USB port, using Windows XP SP2, the folders on that drive show up as expected, but when they are opened, some folders are empty, while others...

It's hard to compete with the other players in the game who have more marketing muscle, even if your product is arguably better.

A 12-inch notebook with discrete graphics was certainly a bold move and an effective way for Dell to stand out in the crowd. However, I would have rather seen a thinner 13.3-inch notebook with the same capabilities to compete with the likes of Asus and Sony. Certainly, Dell's offering would...

Hmm, I wonder what a 64-bit peripheral would be like.

So wait, your position on AMD's chipset activities is that because AMD doesn't make many chipsets, the reason for this is because "they don't want to?"

Well, no, I already have an ExpressCard-based eSATA interface card. My question is, could I make an enclosure which supports more than, say, 5 drives using an ATX case and a specialized board with eSATA ports? Otherwise, the way I see it is that I'm basically stuck with whatever external...
