there is a fella here has one for $80. There seems to be some difference in some of the boxes. Some can take a 3 1/2 and 5 1/4 drive and some only 3 1/2. I dont think the 3 1/2 is a big limitation, is it? that includes most drives, right?

matter of fact you can get them atone websitefor only $60 something now!!

As for the scsi, yes, I was thinking of that. Friend of mine gave me 4 x 2gig scsi drives. Gotta get a controller for it. Got any suggestions there? Bear in mind that I know nothing about scsi except they are faster than ide!! As for the usb and the hot-swapability thing. If I turn my usb box...

Lintman, I came up with another reason. If I wanted another drive setup other than the standard ide then it might be a better idea to go to firewire over say usb.Usb does not give a person hot-swappability, either that or my usb hard drive is set up wrong!! So firewire, if truly hot-swappable...

Lintman, I like to experience and experiment a bit. Plus, I have a usb box that I use for backup and I am glad I have that. Also, if one is to do certain multimedia stuff then one needs a firewire card, might as well put it to good use and hook up a hard drive to it! Cant take your money to...

thanks, I meant to put milliseconds and forgot. I now know a heck of a lot more than I did thanks to you!!! I believe that the boxes that in which you put yourown hard driveand the ones thatseem to be a single unit are the same, as long as the hard drive chosen has a speed of 5400 rpm's, and...

I do understand that hard drives come in different speeds, 5400 and 7200, even 10,000. I also understand about seek times. for hard drives that is is the 8 to 10 sec area. My lack of knowledge comes in the firewire area. I know that firewire can be and generally is faster than usb, which, in...

guess I've been told, eh? The answer to that one is: You asked for it! Yes I did. The truth is always the truth. thanks

why do you say that?

I just got hold of the INTEL VC820 mobo that takes rdram. Rdram comes in 3 different flavors, 600, 700,800. Can anyone tell me what difference that will mean. Is it worth buying the 800 variety over 700 or 600? Why? thank you

Much to your dismay, I am back!!!!! Thanks again, everyone who I emailed, morningside15, Johnnie, heat23, and everyone else I bugged! What happened? I was in my profile and I took out my email address and type in " pm me to get my email addy" and then I saved it and then I was no longer a...

I can 100% guarantee you that it is not a virus and it is a rogue program. The other fella above mentioned "adaware" and it sure works for me. You can get this prob visiting adult sites and warez sites. Other sites too but those are the main culprits. Actually, there is a better prog than...

that is the thread! And thanks for the info on "linking"

sorry, dont know how to do that yet, but you can easily find his thread, he keeps bumping it all the time. Anyway, just do a search for: forsaleortrade and you will find not only his current thread but his 2 others that the mods locked. He keeps trying to sell used tshirts and toiletries...
