Same...maybe what we need is a new Myst game using this engine :D

Is the "L" a bong? :D

Cereal Killer is that you?

Posted...hope I win ;)

Mine...started with an old Centuri Track & Field cabinet that I got for free:

ahh the good old days of the $10k desk...username has changed since then but the memory lives on :D

Yeah, but what does it tell you when the company ignores the problem for several months, and deletes posts relating to the matter from their official support forums? The bad press regarding the drives blew up over the past week, and I think that's what made Seagate finally act. This problem...

Seagate has finally released a firmware upgrade for the defective drives. The problem is in fact a firmware bug: http://seagate.custkb.com/seagate/crm/selfservice/search.jsp?DocId=207931 I'll be calling them tonight for the firmware update for my six 1TB drives since it doesn't look like...

Seagate's warranty is down to 3 years now? What a bunch of BS. I had been a Seagate user for approximately the last 10 years, and I have three computers still running 80GB Seagates that must be about 6 years old, and they're still going strong. That track record inspired me to spend about...

I can at least confirm this line is true, since that user was me (search my previous posts regarding putting the drives in a RAID 5 array using an Areca ARC-1222 card): "One user in particular reports having set up a 6 TB drive array and over the course of 1 month having half the drives...

Alright, so sounds like it's just a flaw of PVA. I'd like to switch to IPS and it looks like the HP LP2475w is the monitor to get for that technology. I have a center channel speaker however and the base of the HP looks like its just too big...I'd have to put the center channel way out in front...

lol...see what I mean? :D I've actually exchanged the monitor twice now through Dell. The first monitor I received had a very bad brightness gradient from left to right, and the new one (which I have now) didn't have that issue, however it does have the issue I mentioned above regarding being...

I have a Dell 2408WFP 24" monitor, and towards the center of the screen there is a blueish hue that I see when looking directly at it (most noticeable when viewing a pure white screen). This causes colors in this area to be darker than the surrounding areas. At first I thought this was a...

The ARC-1220 came with eight SATA cables so that's why I was curious. Are AMCC/3Ware cables compatible with Areca cards as well? They're a little less expensive and are the longer length that I need for my case (0.6 meters): http://www.ewiz.com/detail.php?name=CBLSFFCF06

Great, thanks again for taking the time to test! Just spoke with eWiz and they are allowing me to return the ARC-1220 with no restocking fee as a result of purchasing the ARC-1222 (essentially an exchange). Does the retail ARC-1222 come with cables (I'll need SAS to SATA breakouts I guess)? I...

Has anyone had experiences with the Dell 2408WFP (Rev A01) and could offer a comparison of the two (colors, input lag, overall issues)? I bought a 2408WFP that initially had an issue with uneven colors/brightness from left to right, exchanged it for another that didn't have the issue as bad but...

Thanks for the suggestion, I'll start looking into it. I basically need something that has accurate color reproduction but relatively low input lag (for a non-TN panel). I do game every so often so I don't want lag to be an issue...

Well I now retract this statement...exchange #2 arrived today and it's revision A00 (refurbished). I took it out of the box just to test to see if it had the same brightness/color issues as the A01 I currently have (no intentions of keeping it since it's the older revision), and it turns out the...

You mean the 1222 right? With Seagate 1TB ST31000340AS drives? Just making sure before I try to do an exchange through eWiz. Inconveniently, my ARC-1220 arrives today...this thread came about a day after I placed my order :rolleyes:

Get a chance to try the Seagate drives yet axan?

Just in case it comes to it, can anyone recommend another monitor that is similar to the 2408WFP in picture quality (and has low input lag)? I may never get a 2408WFP that doesn't have obvious flaws...

Just phoned in for exchange #2. I guess I'll just have to keep exchanging them until I get one I like :D Maybe the third monitor's a charm... The first exchange I did they sent me a refurb A01. I believe they do exchanges based on model number, so I guess in theory any time I exchange it I...

Nice. If they work with it I'm going to have to think up something creative. eWiz doesn't accept exchanges for a different item (have to return previous item + 15% restocking fee first :eek:).

While not a hard drive, I recently had to RMA a Zalman CPU HSF through Zip Zoom Fly and the turnaround time was quick on their end (though ground shipping from NY to CA takes about a week). I did order six Seagate 1TB from them and all arrived in working condition, as well as in those nice...

I'm mostly just concerned with compatiblity with my drives and motherboard. I'm not actually using the card in a server; it's my main workstation and will be used for high definition video storage. The motherboard is an EVGA (nForce) 780i, and the drives are standard 1TB Seagate desktop hard...

Ok, thanks. I'd really appreciate it!

I'd be interested in hearing the results of this test! I just put an order in for an ARC-1220 yesterday to use with six Seagate 1TB SATA drives (ST31000340AS) in RAID 5. If the ARC-1222 will work with the *AS series drives, I'd be interested in upgrading to the ARC-1222 if it's worth the...

Ok, I've been reading up and looking into this some more, and the problem is actually a matter of insufficient OptionROM. What I didn't mention in my original post was that with both RAID cards (onboard and Silicon Image 3132) enabled, a message would be output after the onboard RAID...

I'm building a new machine with an EVGA 780i motherboard with which I'd like to put 6 hard drives into RAID 5 using the onboard MediaShield RAID. These drives will be used for non-bootable storage as a GPT disk only (I'm using XP 64-bit). In addition, I also installed a Rosewill RC-211 PCI-E...

My replacement (exchange) monitor arrived today, refurbished unit since I'm outside of the "new" exchange window. It's the A01 firmware, and does not have as bad of uneven brightness as my previous one where the leftmost 1/4 was brighter than the rightmost 3/4. However the center is still a...

That's the same issue I'm having (see a couple posts up). Unfortunately it sounds like this is a known issue with these monitors, which for $600+ is not acceptable in my opinion.I haven't actually used it with games yet so I'm not really sure if I'll notice the input lag. I'm going to...

Hmm this sounds familiar: :D http://www.break.com/index/dana_carvey_snl_gerald_ford_is_dead.html

Just bought a 2408WFP with revision A01 firmware, and after hooking it up I noticed that there's a slight blue/gray "gradient" that runs from the left side of the screen to the right, progressively getting darker. For example, if I view a purely white screen (ie. maximized Notepad), the first 3"...

Brandon Dicamillo and Bam Margera did this prank in their first CKY video about 9 years ago: <embed width="425" height="350" src="http://static.videoegg.com/videoegg/loader.swf"...

In my opinion Microsoft's system of activation for legitimate copies only makes it MORE likely for people to want an illegitimate copy just to make life easier, especially those who change their hardware frequently. In response to the original post, yes I just upgraded a legit copy of Vista...

lol yea, and get this: it was my development machine so I was running SQL Server 2005, Netbeans, Weblogic 9.2, Dreamweaver, and occasionally Photoshop CS2 all at once on it. We had bought two desktops from Dell (it's a small company) and we figured we'd give Vista a try. Found out early on that...

Nope, nothing came up. I opened up the SP1 installer, enabled automatic rebooting, came back and logged into my username and proceeded to be slapped across the mouth by Vista. Luckily it's my work computer, so I'll have plenty of time during the rest of the week to put all my shortcuts back...

Well it looks like I get to be one of the first to run into problems after the SP1 upgrade! After it finished installing I logged into my username and lo and behold, all the programs shortcuts in the start menu have disappeared except for a couple standard Windows icons such as...

Alright well I whipped up something kind of fast, but from what I tested it seemed to work. For some reason my EQ settings are in fact loading at startup WITHOUT having to run my program (no clue why; my program is meant to be a run-each-startup thing). Please take into account that this is...
