Re the steel vs. aluminum: you might want to head over to SPCR and read what they have to say about it. SPCR and Aluminum Anti-Bias? and plenty of other topics that discuss this issue. here's a couple of P180 topics: http://forums.silentpcreview.com/viewtopic.php?t=18160...

using DTemp, for some reason it only shows me the temp of my IBM 60GXP drive and not the WD 200BB drive. can't even find a way to select drive. SpeedFan Charts tab - same. Everest report - same. looking at the SMART info, it appears that the IBM returns a value for an attribute called...

really !? i'm surprised. i was sure i've read that the drives must be identical, RAID works better! i guess i was wrong! so i needn't worry about the (apparently) different chipsets.

alas, i can't do it just now. work leave me very little time for tinkering just now (and the next few days). and my case is cr*p only space for 2 HDs. i'm a n00b about RAID etc., but i would've thought it shouldn't be a problem. just wanted to ask the gurus around here. also, i wanted...

thanks guys. Quentin: are these mods difficult for a beginner? do you have a link to an article or a forum topic that explains how to do it? (or is it general knowlege? or is it very commonly discussed and searching the forum will help?) @brazzmunk: i installed the drivers from the CD...

hi. looking for some help. my current setup: CPU - Athlon Thunderbird 1400MHz mobo - Asus A7N8X Deluxe rev 1.04 memory - Kingston ValueRAM 2x256MB KVR266X64C25/256 (yeah right PC2100 memory). i'm thinking of getting a mobile AthlonXP to replace the 1.4 Athlon, thinking of maybe a...
