    Seagate Barracuda LP Hard Drive - 2TB, 5900RPM $76AR/CB

    Haven't done oem drives before, but dont the rebates need a UPC cut out, and this drive is an OEM purchase, so that may not come with the required UPC?

    Yeah, I realized that an hour after I posted. Only 8gb. hmm, I think they come with an SD slot though. I'm thinking of just getting a cheap normal laptop. Its more versatile. (and sorry for stealing the thread).

    On Fire! Asus 8g 7" Netbook 149 Free Shipping

    Reducing the inital high power requirement when turning on

    Ok, Cool thanks. yeah thats what I needed to confirm about the UPS. I talked to the Datacenter folks, and they said it will trip at 20A, so I MIGHT even be able to get away with this setup. 16A is the recommended maximum. But I'm going to have to just look for a 24port controller or...

    Reducing the inital high power requirement when turning on

    Well its not a question of wiring, its the question of the expense. Another 20A is $3000 or 3600/yr. Or I can replace the controllers, I guess 24pt controller or two controllers... etc. will set me back around $1500. But not sure if the staggered spin up will mitigate the power draw by much...

    Reducing the inital high power requirement when turning on

    Ok, basically I have a co-location rack with 20A of power. And it turns out I can only use 16 to 17A before tripping the circuit breaker (I don't understand why really but whatever). I'm using about 9A now. I have a storage server that I'm putting in this rack (24 750gig drives machine, and...

    Broadcom Raidcore bc4852 drivers

    Oh man, thanks a whole bunch. Strangely, they had a link on their main page that said 'Raidcore drivers' but when you go to its a blank page. Anyway, found a support link and they had downloadable files! heh. They look like driver cd iso's. Can't wait to try 'em out when I get home. I...

    Broadcom Raidcore bc4852 drivers

    Hello! I have a bc4852 raid controller (which is cheap pci-x raid card) that I want to setup for a raid-5 for use at home. Unfortunately I can't find drivers for windows 2003 (32bit). Everything I found, either goes to kb.ciprico.com or broadcom's site. However, kb.ciprico.com is down, and...

    Fry's has had this drive (retail box) for $99.99 for atleast a month I think. I started to look into building a htpc about a month ago and it was $99.99. And when I finally built my htpc last week, it was still $99.99. Maybe its more expensive now. Call your local frys and product id is...

    What's the fastest you ever drove in a car ?

    I've done 165mph once or twice in my Esprit. :) I was driving, and my sister was trying to make a video of the speedometer, but camera was too shaky. Note: I don't do that anymore. Now I don't go 10 or 15 over the speedlimit. :) That was back in the days...

    Vista and XP two different HD

    I know you were talking about two seperate drives, but when I built my new computer, I installed xp first, and then on the same drive, installed Vista on a new partition. The main requirements I had was that whatever windows i'm booted into, its Windows directory show up as "C:" drive. Which...
