I recently built an A8N SLi rig (3200+, eVGA 6800GT, Centurion tower, etc) and it's one of the most solid computers I've used to date. I have 3 firewire controllers total in there, so that's fun (mobo's, Creative ZS's, +PCI card) as I...

Well, depending on whether you use the IDE or the SATA raid, it should be a configuration in your BIOS. There is also, typically, a "second" BIOS screen that one usually hits a key-combo to access the RAID utility. In this...

Bought it in February 2003 (2 years ago) - so I still have 1 year on the +2 year Philips warranty (through colorbeware)... not sure if it's worth the hassle of all that to get it working again. I'm currently on a home-built AMD rig...

Yes, 'tis true... it's a 12# brick now... the dual drives and such are still good and all, but there's a mobo/chipset issue, I think (it'll even freeze sitting at a Bios screen or Linux boot-CD). I might put it up in the FS section...

My 8887 hard freezes right after about 1-2 min. of use (whether windows boots or not). I've cleaned it and re-did the thermal paste, etc., but it's a doorstop now. It gave a good run for it's time, though. And while I have the...

Remember kramer? Someone just dug up his old post on getting his linksys 802.11g to work in his 8887 (I tired in mine with 2 different ones, but didn't ever get it to work). I don't even know if there is a miniUSB in the 8887, must...

Wow, resurrecting a long-dead thread... anyway, I had tried a regular 802.11g linksys miniPCI and did not get it to work (though windows found and installed the drivers, etc.). Another user (kramer?) DID get his to work, so it's not a...

I have used a Brother MFC-42xx in the past; it is pretty decent. There was a great review a short while ago (znet or someplace like that). Basically, there isn't "a best one" but rather one's that excel in one area (graphics,...

Thread cleaned.

Two quick things: I thought the 80GB/4200rpm drives were about as fast as the 5400's (or better) when talking about 2.5" laptop drives... Also, while I think iTunes is nice (pc version) and I am impressed with the whole iLife...
