damn, i was just thinking about buying the exact same hdd. but now this thread makes me want to look over all the harddrive choices again, i hope that you just had a faulty harddrive and not all the harddrives are like that.

thanks, you guys are the best, this is the best place to ask questions

i found this one, SAMSUNG_SPIN P40 80GB 7200RPM UDMA100 (SP8004H) 126,91 USD and then a UDMA133 version. SAMSUNG_SPIN P80 80GB 7200RPM UDMA133 (SP0802N) 105,45 USD the UDMA133 was ~20 USD cheaper than the UDMA100, and SometimesWarrior said that the UDMA133 works with a UDMA-100 motherboard. my concl...

i just checked a computerstore here in sweden, they have lots of samsung harddrives. so it will be no problem to find a samsung drive.

hey, bought a new computer, but i need a bigger harddrive... i need a 80gb drive (7200rpm) UDMA-100 i want it to be as quiet as possible. UDMA-133 does it work with a motherboard with only UDMA-100, is there a big difference between these two? which manufacturers and models would you recommend? than...

hehe, this thread reminds me, i was at church today with my school, then this guy asked if we believe in God, and everybody said no.

then he said, i guess the only one who believes in God in here is the priest, and pointed at him.

then the priest said "yea, but i get paid for it"

my keyboards always brake, so for me it´s kind of stupid to pay 30 bux for a keyboard

some laptops have very special keyboards, they don´t make a sound

ok, i have bunch of computers to choose from, and now i would need your help. i can get these computers real cheap, but i need to know which one of these could be fairly quiet.

isen´t it possible to have long cables for the CD/DVD-drive also?

i have a link to this computer: http://www.fujitsu-siemens.se/file/?5993.pdf

Ralf Hutter: they put in a quiet case and cpu fan, and im going to use this system for linux, and 256 MB is plenty of memory under linux. i don´t know what psu they have in this box, but my guess would be a quiet one.
