    16MB Cache 250GB SATA Hard Drive $93

    Just as a recommendation. Be sure to have some sort of cooling for your hard drives, especially if you have a bunch of them stacked up together. I have had far less drive failures since moving my hard drive array from a tower case where the drives were pretty closely stacked, to a 4U server...

    16MB Cache 250GB SATA Hard Drive $93

    Here's my take on hard drives. They are all made so fast these days that one brand doesn't really seem to be better than another in the long run. Hard drives die all the time regardless of the brand. Hitachi SCSI drives used to burn up all the time, Maxtor and IBM drives are kind of loud, the...

    FREE Coffee Maker

    I got in on this same deal a month or so ago. Coffee maker is actually pretty good - no problems or complaints here. Coffee is okay, but for $10 for 1 lb. of coffee and a maker, you can't beat it! Just remember to cancel so you don't keep getting coffee (unless you like it).
