I am trying to learn and since i have nothing to tell me whether i am understanding anything i "Assume" to be true or not, i need guidance, hehe. We all know what a disk array is, a backplane, etc....I want to build my own and have the edge that it will be cheaper compared to it's expandability potential. I need it to be standalone so lets start from scratch and fill me in on anything here. I will acquire a case with many 5.25 external bays for the purpose of using backplanes. Found an awesome deal for a backplane that uses 3 bays for 4 SATA drives for under $100 with great reviews so it's sold me on that. Now, without a motherboard required, i install a PSU that is stron…

I've must have been out of the loop for a while... Any of you guys heard about this new device by Microsoft? They are releasing it as a new console at the end of 2010 for a projected price of $499 or an addon for your current xbox360 system for approximately $200-$300... If you haven't heard about this.. i suggest searching for project natal.... the next gen of gaming. www.kickasskungfu.net presented it earlier than microsoft but they are out of the country. Microsoft has now brought it home to us US people. Project Natal is like the Wii but without any controllers and FAR FAR more advanced! You can bring objects with you in the game that support it and when fighting som…

So I finally got a dvd writable drive that is of this generation... Using Nero Vison Express 2 to try and burn down a few movies that I've DL'd. My concern is that it's slated to take 2+ hours to burn xxxx.divx down to a DVD disc. Nero is handling the format conversion, but 2 hours? I've been Googling, and I've found this converter... Would this be worth a shot? Otherwise, wtf am I missing? I used to be able to burn down a DVD in <15 minutes. Thanks

So, my daughters PC needs to have RAID drivers installed for it to read a SATA drive.....and M$ in their infinite wisdom, has made it so you still need a floppy...booo..... So I decided to try to make a slipstreamed version of XP for my install. After hours of searching on the web for more information, I found a program that makes all the changes that a guy needs to get this done. nLite is what it is called. And, boy oh boy does it work. I am happy that I found a piece of freeware that actually works. So, if anyone else is interested in doing the same, may I suggest looking into this program.
