Well this sucks

[quakefiend420]

just got two 400gb hdds in, and one is DOA

at least one works, i suppose...so i can start transferring files around

how is zipzoomfly on RMAs?

Think you'll fill up that first 400GB before yours comes back?

probably

i already have about 200 gigs that i'm transferring from my file server, and another 30 gigs or so on the 15K scsi drive that's the main one in this rig...plus i've got a bunch of stuff to download over the next couple of days..linux iso's and the like, you know

i'm phasing out my ghetto ass fileserver since this new rig is fast enough to stream to my htpc and my laptop at the same time and i don't even notice it

I've only got a 160GB SATA, but that should be plenty for me. I've got a fileserver with only 70GB's, I'd put those drives in this new system, but they're IDE!! :|

yeah, all the drives in that one are ide...a 200gb, 2 60gb's, and a 30gb

i don't know what i'm gonna do with them yet...i have no free ide connectors, this system ony has one ide channel and i have my cd and dvd burners on those...otherwise i'd slap the 200 in here

haha, nope...i was broke as sh1t at the time and needed a fileserver...so i scraped up what i had

check this bad boy out...6 scsi drives and 1 ide...i stacked them on top of each other with anti-static bags in between them...the main psu was only 250w, so i needed another to power all the drives and the system as well..so i rugged the one you see on top and spliced it into the main one to turn on when i powered on the system

i am the master of ghetto computer ****** :laugh:

you should see the watercooling setup i had on my old rig before i upgraded to this one lol
