    3 x 15kRPM SAS RAID5 vs 4 x 7200RPM RAID 10

    Silly mistake I made in building my home server. Want to get everyones opinions on this, because I think I've been heading in the wrong direction. I went ahead and bought 3 x 146GB 15k SAS Drives for a Dell PE2950 Gen II running 2 x Xeon E5345's and 16GB's of RAM. I have 2 additional 1TB...

    Blackberry Storm, HTC Ozone, or HTC Touch pro?

    it actually feels like a sucessor to a motorola q in some ways, just updated to WM6. Anyways, I think I'm going to go for the HTC Touch pro, and then grab this ROM here: http://forum.ppcgeeks.com/showthread.php?t=69545 People are reporting 2 FULL DAYS of battery life, which is AMAZING, plus...

    Blackberry Storm, HTC Ozone, or HTC Touch pro?

    i already mentioned that the chances are the prices of these phones' replacements are going to be WAYY to expensive and out of my price range. I think im gunna pull the trigger on the Touch Pro. That combined with custom ROMs and I think i'll be set. A hardware keyboard looks nice to me...

    Blackberry Storm, HTC Ozone, or HTC Touch pro?

    Blackberry Storm, HTC Ozone, or HTC Touch pro?

    Uh, hello? the Ozone is $50, not $150... Storm looks like its out of the question then... I knew I'd run into that problem. the browser is what gets me, but then again the touch pro can be modded with custom ROM's and windows mobile 6.5, so thats probably a sweet option to take.

    Blackberry Storm, HTC Ozone, or HTC Touch pro?

    Tour is too much money for what I need. I don't need to spend $200 on the phone when I can get the curve for $50. at that, I don't even like those blackberry's at all to be honest. I really don't want to wait any more. How much better can the touch pro 2 be? And I'm not interested in...

    Logitech MX518 versus Razer Copperhead

    I currently have the choice of a Razer Copperhead mouse, or a Logitech MX 518 mouse, either one for $25 (used off of a message board). For some reason I'm leaning towards the razer, but everybody is telling me the MX518 is the best mouse to get. Opinions?
