WOW, ok to be 100% honest this really is the biggest amount of overkill/overpriced/unnecessary/useless parts i've seen put together in... in quite awhile actually :D

Lets review one part at a...

Hello,

Well i'm building a backup PC from some components i have around and some new ones. Here's the hardware i plan on putting in this:

Gigabyte 890GPA-UD3H
AMD Athlon 2 X3
2x1Gb Kingmax...

Come on... what's up with all the skinny people hate in here?
She's slim... not skinny. And in every case i'd much rather prefer it that way than someone with a bunch of blubber all over.
...

Are you sure its an F3? Because as far as i know that is reserved for the 7200rpm line... the 5400 drives are usually F2 EcoGreen.
I haven't even heard that Samsung released an 7200 drive @ 2 Tb...

The LSI SAS 9211-4i goes for ~300$ where i live, so basically i need another ~300$ card if i want to expand the LSI card to more than 4 drives...
Thanx for clearing that up :)

I guess i'm better...

Thank you for the reply... i will try to google most of what you said, because i'm really new into this RAID/HBA controller stuff.

I was thinking, could i use something like this:...

I started thinking about a different storage build a few days ago... and the most expiriences i've had with RAID controllers is basically plug&play :)

So here's the deal i have 20 drives in my...

That is where i think you're mistaken. The ONLY 2 games i ever bothered playing online were Starcraft & UT 1999. Multiplayer isn't the path most people want games to go, its just the way kids want...

I don't understand how any company can require constant internet connection for a simple game. Personally, i'm not connected to the internet when i'm not specifically using it (meaning, i disable my...

1. Starcraft & SC: Brood War
2. Half Life series
3. Heroes Of Might & Magic 2 & 3
4. Unreal Tournament (1999)
5. Mass Effect 1&2

Sorry, i was away on working, and we only had satellite links which we could only use for work (really in the middle of nowhere).

Anyways, i'm back home now... my storage system was working 24/7...

Hello, i had to cross over to Win7 as a part of a process we're going at the company i work... kind of checking to see if we're compatible and all that,

So here's the thing, i remember when i...

Hello,

I'm building a kind of a cheap gaming machine for my son, and i don't really wanna spend a bunch of cash on SSD's....

So i remembered i read here somewhere about short stroking HDD's to...

Most definatley the F3... have a bunch of F1's WD Blacks & F3's at home and the new Samsungs are by far the quietest, coolest and all run pretty much @the same speed. Except that the linear read from...

Thank you very much... i looked around and found everything i am looking for.

I know there's probably an answer to my question somewhere in the 50 pages of this topic, but it would take ages to read all of it, so i'll just ask... can someone tell me if any web-shops in Europe...

OK, after playing the Single player, i'm massively disappointed. All the review sites are screaming "Game of the year" but i just don't see it.
- Single player is really short (maybe shorter than...

Couldn't agree more... there are a ton of similar games out there that can easily replace COD

I really, really wish consoles would die a quick but very painful death :)

How do you even play a FPS on a joypad? consoles are supposed to run games like mortal kombat or some football game, not...

Totally agree. The reason why i want LAN in every game is that i can enjoy playing with my friends once or twice a year... i bet it would be really fun to try and play with 2Mb down / 256kbit up ...

why, oh why do they keep on making the HDD bay 90° from the standard position. The is the single feature i really hate in the modern cases.
The cooling of such drives is basically pathetic. I have...

I wrote a post about my opinion of all this, but apparently even mentioning that i don't plan to buy it is reason enough to delete a post :D

Anyways, most people here complain about MP, but i only...

I found the game really entertaining, but the end-game really sucks. I mean couldn't they think of something more challenging or creative? After playing 30+ hours of the game i didn't get that...

The F2 is a good choice. I just checked out my new F3 drives, and i have to admit i'm really impressed. Fast, quiet and totally cold. I mean, after 2.5 hours of formatting the drive heated up 3°C...

OK, i understood you wrong in the 1st post... i figured you're replacing the RAID6 with 6X1TB drives in the same form of RAID :)

But now i see you're only looking for a single drive... well then,...
