I decided to pull the trigger on the Shimian Lite model this weekend and it was already shipped out today (Monday). The fedex tracking number estimates 7 days for delivery though. Has everyone gotten the same conservative delivery date, but just simply gotten it much sooner? I'm out next week so...
Newegg has this thing now for only $139: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820609393
I know this is an Indilinx based SSD, but it seems like all the nifty firmware releases are being put out by OCZ. Can you flash the Supertalent drive with the same firmware? My guess is...
does intel also gc in the background? or does it just write as efficiently as possible?
also, TRIM does not work currently in Linux - it probably won't be until 2.6.32.
Does anyone have any information about this monitor or its release date in the US?

There doesn't seem to be much information online about its price or where you can buy it, besides from Japan for roughly $795 US. This looks like a good...
just got in on the dell 1907fp deal, and actually got a pretty nice monitor: samsung panel, no dead pixels, great colors. i was worried i'd get the AU Optronics panel. anyway, here's the problem. 1280x1024 is not enough! i don't understand why all 19" non-ws panels are limited to 1280x1024...

40GB Quantum Fireball. you can immediately tell this is an old drive since maxtor bought them out. anyway, it's not the fastest drive...
sorry i didn't take many pics along the way, but it's pretty self explanatory to see what little progress ive made so far. i grabbed a G5 case off of ebay with a dent in the back, and bought a motherboard tray from cool cases USA. unfortunately, the motherboard tray was far too wide to fit...
i have the black and decker RTX rotary.. they advertise it as having 3 speeds but it's really got a wheel with variable speeds on it. pretty nice, definitely good enough for what i do. i'm sure there will be Dremel fan boys saying their tool will last longer, etc, but this is fine for what i...
i'm not sure what this piece is actually called, so i'm going to have to describe it. it's the plastic semi translucent piece inside some lian-li cases near the drive bays. seems to smooth out the sharp edges. is this something i can pick up at home depot or something?
