Hi guys,

how do you remove that piece of metal at the bottom of the SLK3000B that the drive cage is clung onto? (The one near the front)

samsungs used to have two types of motors: JVC and NIDEC. NIDEC is generally better (I mean quieter) - read the reviews of spinpoints.

The sata versions i've seen at a polish shop, can't read polish though: http://rodan.net/eSklep/prod?id=250+sata+ii+sp2504c I'm Polish so there goes a translation of the columns' names (post me if you need aught more): Producent: Vendor Model: Model Pojemność: Capacity Prędkość obrotowa: Rotation S...

Well, I know that, but I have no chance to do that - the WinXP setup program terminates before that screen is dispalyed. It says it can't make a swap file.

I've got a problem with my samsung spinpoint sata 80gb (sp0812c). It's connected to the mobo and the BIOS detects it, as well as the nvRAID, but any OS I boot into (Mandrake 10 install, XP install, Win98 floppy) says I have no disk in the computer. I tried making a RAID with it, I could do it but it...

Yep, I'm interested too.

I believe you're not right, since X800XL is as good or even better than 6800GT... but that only leaves me to congratulate you on that particular decision, too

All in all, nice work.

Well I'm not running any CPU intensive task most of the time (no folding at any rate) but I have an ordinary, stock Intel low-profile heatsink. Should be enough?

Hello everyone, I have a noisy machine ( really noisy) where noisemakers are: PSU, CPU HSF and the HDD. The PSU is a 230W monster made by the well-known (at least in the PC silencers community) brand Target :lol: and it's got one 80mm in the back, which just recently got broken. Broken means: it lik...

Gigabyte passive 6600, 6600GT, X800... also think about 6200TC and X300SE but only provided you won't be playing any games

Thanks. I see something bad happened to my message (I wanted to edit it but ended up deleting everything) but at least you were able to read it. I'll stick with the Twinmoses then as they're a lot cheaper. (We also here have reports about them not working very well with Abit boards, for example the ...

Thanks for all feedback, I really appreciate it.

Hi everybody out there, I'm building a new system and thought about posting it here so maybe you could help me on it with a few comments... here it goes: Soltek SL-K890PRO-939 KT890 Athlon 64 3000+ sck939 Twinmos 2x512MB PC3200 DDR 80GB Samsung FDD black NEC ND-3520A black Gigabyte 6600GT Turbo pass...

Thanks, only I'm not sure whether the difference between the two nexuses justify the price rise. Apparently they do, so I'm opting for the upper one. Thanks for recommendations.

Great... but with which of the two cases?

Which one do you think is my best value for money: Nexus Breeze (350W) (151) Antec SLK3000B + Tagan 380W (148) Antec SLK3000B + Nexus 350W (145) Antec SLK3000B + Nexus 4090 400W (171) Arctic Cooling Silentium (115) Those numbers in brackets are retail prices converted to euro in Poland. I'm building...

Hello folks, I think I might use some advice of yours. I'm building myself a fairly quiet system on nForce4 SLI. That's what I guess will be into it: A64 Winchester sck939 3000+ Asus A8N-SLI Zalman CNPS7000B-AlCu Zalman NB47J 2x512MB Twinmos dual value DDR RAM NEC ND-3520A FDD Samsung SpinPoint 80GB...
