The drives in my Solo do not droop as much yours seem to. Do you loop the cords once to decrease slack?

You doubt my word. Proof positive provided above by xan_user.

Has anyone heard the rumor that the Amish technology geniuses who build the amazing heat surge rolling fireplace plan to fabricate a revolutionary new CPU?

Have you checked out the SAPPHIRE Vapor-X 100283VXL Radeon HD 5770 available at Newegg. This is reputedly the quietest 5770 with the best cooling.

I bought one of these a year ago from Newegg for $20 with free shipping.

SPCR is not the best forum for this question. I would not try the Utorrent forum either because the company that owns utorrent is partnered with all of the big movie studios. You might try torrentfreak or the Vuze forum. I assume you do have encryption employed--that is fundamental.

JVM, I was describing a hijacked smart address bar not a hijacked search bar.

This is my most recent reason to hate Microsoft. I was doing a secure wipe and clean install on my sister's HP XP MCE 2005 computer. I restored the Firefox profile before all critical updates were acquired from Windows Update. Somewhere along the way Microsoft hijacked the Firefox address bar and su...

How can anyone address your concerns without knowing which OS you are running and what you are trying to accomplish?

The Antec Solo rarely needs front fans. You might consider running only the tri-cool initially.

My first attempt at repair would be to run a Disk Check using the Ultimate Boot Disk For Windows.

Four T166 500GB drives no failures.

Four F1 1TB drives no failures.

One new F3 1TB drive is error free.

I will only buy Samsung as long as noise, price, reliability and performance remain strong.

SPCR forum members have found the Extreme Power Supply Calculator web site to produce numbers very close to actual Kill-A-Watt or Seasonic Power Angel readings.

Sweatypickle, you have the patience of Job. You must be a saint.

My APC ES750 also works quietly and flawlessly with the Enermax Modu82+ 425W PSU. Based on previous experience there are no problems with Seasonic units.

Can't you figure out how to boot into DOS? Your complaint makes no sense to me.

I have had succes cracking Vista passwords using the free Ophcrack Live for Vista CD. The program uses rainbow tables to quickly reveal all alpha-numeric passwords of 14 characters or less. You simply download the ISO and burn to disk.

Ther is a good reason Apple treats its customers like idiots. Most of them are idiots.

When you've been dead for more than a few days.

You should avoid codec packs. Instead install FFDShow Tryouts and the Haali Media Splitter. FFDShow provides DirectShow filters and will enable Windows Media Player to handle almost any format. Some people also install Real Alternative and Quicktime Alternative. I prefer to convert Real and Quicktim...

In the 1970s a large number of scientists were predicting an impending ice age. This scare was hyped by many media outlets including the NY Times. I think global warming may be real but the alarmists are nuts.

The Solo is one of the most popular cases here at SPCR and no unusual drive failures have not been noted previously. I have been running various Samsung HDs suspended in a Solo for years with no faults. The problem would seem to be the drives or perhaps dirty power.

Ditto on the Solo or P150. Great airflow, hard drive suspension built in, and much lesss than $200.

I buy most products from Newegg but when it comes to fans and accessories nothing beats Jab-tech. Tigerdirect has a poor rep.

None of my eight Samsung drives has ever failed or become noisy. I have two 1GB F1 drives and I would not hesitate to buy another. I plan to stick with Samsung until I get a bad experience.

According to the review on this site the Enermax fan is bi-voltage not PMW. There is another thread that addresses fan swaps for the Modu82+ and Pro82+ units.

I have two of the Samsung F1 drives that are extremely quiet in an almost silent PC. I have never turned on AAM because there is no need.

Religious people have frequently been known to participate in mass suicides--for example, Jonestown, Heaven's Gate, Branch Davidians and several other groups. There is also a history of religious cults involved in mass murder.

What might have been the motive for the suspect Mrs Huckaby?

Perhaps the Sunday school teacher decided that the eight year old girl was so angelic that she deserved to be in heaven.

Religion might be the most dangerous form of insanity!

I bought a 400 watt Corsair (made by Seasonic) for $30 after rebate with free shipping from Newegg. I was very pleased with the deal but I had to swap the Adda fan for a 1200 rpm Scythe slipstream. The PSU is now inaudible and I gained rpm monitoring. This PSU has very long cables and comes with six...
