I started putting my new rig together and found that the Northbridge heatsink was a little loose. One of the cheapo clip/pins was deformed at the tip and would not keep tension. I had some better pins with nice springs on that would keep the tension nice. The stock Abit pins are the ones without...

Here's the complete internal shot. I spent some time folding and tucking cables and wires!!!:D

The 60GXP's had a few problems, but not near the problems of the 75GXP's. The big stink now is the 120GXP's are only rated for 333hrs. use per month........ See this link here for more info: http://www.viahardware.com/ibm120gxp.shtm I still would not get an IBM drive until these...

Sorry to disagree......... I only buy Maxtor drives. So far, they are the only ones that have not let me down. From my old 4.3GB up to 3 current D740X 60giggers that kick butt. I admit, the IBM will be a tad faster, but are prone to failure lately (over the last 14 months....). Western...

Radeon 8500 64mb DDR on main Herc. Prophet GF2 MX 32mb on spare.........

No can do here either........... Man, now I want to soooo bad!

Here is the CompUSA link: http://www.compusa.com/products/product_info.asp?product_code=286896

I expect this should go in hardware, but I wanted to let everyone know.... Best Buy has the retail Radeon 8500's for this deal: $299.00 original caost $100.00 price drop ------------ $199.00 cost -$10.00 instant rebate ------------- $189.00 cost -$50.00 mail in rebate ------------...

Memory on the 7500 is 64mb DDR. I'm not a big gamer, more graphics worker, so the 7500 should do for a while........ at least 6 months!:D Fury - I'm hoping to get to 2000+ speeds!!! That may be shooting high, but I should be able to hit 1900+ speeds fairly easily.... I hope!!!

No stinkin' way!!!:mad:

I bet the mobo supports XP's though...........:D

Well, I'm to cheap for anything more than dial up, especially since I have broadband at work so the modem was kind of a compromise..... WinXP cost me $5 from the university!;) The Santa Cruz is older, but it is still one of the tops. I've sworn off soundblaster due to past troubles...

Well, most of the parts are on order, and I will soon be putting things together. I haven't been around much lately, my main rig is torn down for this "upgrade" ....... Here is an outline: Abit KR7A-RAID 256mb Crucial DDR AMD XP1700+ Vantec 6035 Copper 60GB Maxtor Diamondmax ATA100...

And here is the RAID performance........

Here is the single drive............

I've been doing this to heat things up a bit!!!

Do you think this Sunon does the job? Or do you think a HDD cooler would do better?

WOW! That 160 sounds nice! I just installed a nice 80GB Maxtor 7200rpm in our server at work. It is real nice and full already! But BD, two 80GB 7200rpm drives in RAID 0 would total 160GB and would only be a shade over $310.00!!!:D I've got room in mine yet................. (2) 30GB...

Damn! You do suck! Seriously, nice set up. How do those round cables seem to work for you? I've been thinking about getting some. Not only are you faster, but you are neater.........
