I just ordered 2.

they're not SATA though :-(

I chuckle at your measly 7200rpm drives.
I rock the sata 10,000, bub.

yeah, but they are perfect for an external case. I'm going to swap my 2 320gbs in a case for 2 of these since my work back up is getting full already. then I'm going to use my 320s at home in a case with2x250, 2x500, 1x120, 1x100

find me a 500gb 10K SATA for $150 and I'll feel bad.

I dont chuckle however, at the fact of your being able to afford them....
2 kids + xmas = Ramen noodles broke.

You must have like what, 14 computers?

no, my laptop blew an inverter and my desktop blew a power supply.

I have my work laptop, my home laptop (hooked to an LCD), a MAC upstairs, and an old craptop from the 90s. I'm going to ditch the AMD 1900+ desktop (with the broken power supply) since it just sits there and pulls things off tivo/stores things. I'm going to replace it with this laptop with a broken inverter and then buy a new laptop.
all the harddrives from inside the broken desktop will be in a case in the basement hooked to my broken laptop with a 16' usb cable.

At one point, I was all about having 40905430458 computers, but it's just a waste now. I'm consolodating and making their foot prints smaller. I think carina is also getting a 17" laptop. the thing that will get in the way are going to be the LCD monitors. I just ordered a 24" one (well, carina ordered it for me)

Macintosh = manlove.
Carina should take it away from you, unless she wants the sweet fragrance of penetrated rectum to again adorn the bedroom...

I got it free and use is as a unix box/ dvd player. actually, carina uses it as a dvd player.

Lord knows that what the reverend wants. anyway, fuck off, infoterror.

it's funny cause the mac is under the bed.

some day infoterror will go to therapy for the sodomizing he suffered from his dad from the age of 6-15. his dad's nickname was Mac and his used to put it in infoterror's toish.

WD Raptor?

fug.. that was me

msd, think of all the pr0n, snuff and stuff!

wait a second... msd, do our cases support 500gb drives?

Are you referring to our Aspire X-Dreamer II's? Or our AMS Venus enclosures?

I'd buy one of these, but my motherboard fried recently and the new one I got only has 2 SATA ports. I already have 2 drives at the moment.. a 74GB raptor and a 300GB 7200rpm Seagate.

I want to build a HTPC so bad. I'm trying to pick out a 50 - 60" 1080p HDCP compatible TV (probably DLP). I need to figure out what to do with audio though. I suppose I'd need a receiver or something so I can hook multiple stuff up (HTPC, cable box, etc..) I know I can get an HDCP compatible graphics card, DVD sofware, and a BluRay drive at least though for the computer.

I can't get my computer to do 1080p to my TV that supports it.. it only does VGA over the DVI port.

yep 150 gig.

what do you mean? Do you have a 16:9 TV but the computer won't do a 1920x1080 res?

powerkok said:

I fucking love those things. Soooooooooo fast.

porn porn porn!

pron

my computer will do just about every resolution, but when I try to send it to the TV, it only shows 640x480 of it.

Are you sure your card handles the res? I don't think my card even does 16:9 resolutions.

I have a 256MB ATI all in wonder card that said that it did 1080p, 720p, etc... that's why I bought it.

ahhh. I wonder what's wrong, then.

no clue, just never worked. sucks.. $200 down the drain or whatever. I should just sell the card on ebay.

do you have the right connections going to the tv?
or the right drivers installed on your computer for the card to run at those high res pictures?

yes, I forget now, but I think it was DVI-i and I tried component.

I used some program called powerstrip or something like that. I tried using the settings people said to use, but it was a no-go. doesn't matter music now, does it?

You should find friend with an HD TV with a DVI input and bring your computer over.

I don't know which part of that computer doesn't work that you don't understand...
Also, I have not 1, but 2 HDTVs and it didn't work with either of them. on my 46", the most I could get was 640x480 and on the 32" LCD, I could get 800xsome other widescreen number.

You didn't mention that, you bastard. I was thinking you could rule out the display as an issue, but it looks like you've already done that.

don't you have every single post I've made memorized by now?

there is a HD forum and I was on there for a while trying powerstrip settings to get it to work... never got it working.

No, not since I lost my flash cards.

you must realize the truth... there is no spoon.

umm aaron...you said above you want to use them in an external case...not what you told me last night...also...since i lost my HD doesn't this mean i'm getting one now?
