hey does anyone know if this burner/case combo would work with a mac powerbook? i don't see why not, but their site claims compatibility with windows and doesn't say anything about mac...

For folks who live in the bay area, a good alternative is the Alameda County Computer Resource Center (http://www.accrc.org/). They charge a small fee for recycling, but a lot of the hardware that they receive gets rebuilt/repaired and then shipped off as actual working machines to people who...

i think it's kind of a toss up as well. i built the machine i'm using about 3 yrs ago (yikes) after a ridiculous amount of research and for the most part it's served me well, but there are a few small nagging issues that i've never quite been able to resolve. it's built from parts that were all...

in my past experience, WDs i've owned have been pretty noisy -- the drive will be used for audio, so the quieter the better...

wondering if there are any new opinions about this -- i'm also in the market for a good 120-160GB external firewire/USB2 HDD in the $120-$160 range. thoughts? anyone know what's inside that simpletech 120GB drive?

cool thanks for the reply...
