The Official PC building thread -3rd Edition

Don't forget the Apollo is very similar to the Lexa, the front intake ducts work quite well.

 

And it's Green! UGH!!! Blue, Red, or Purple would be great, but Green? Even the lock mechanisms are the same ugly Green! (Sorry GM!)

Green is nice in moderation, but I had two Green CCFLs once. Nice novelty, horrible to live with. Red on the other hand, is superb on a day to day basis. Blue is just too common these days, hence the lack of blue case fans in my PC.

 

It's just something you have to see in person. Only two people on these forums have had used these cases and we both love them. They are intuitive, look very nice, and they feel like they were built by people who would use them themselves. Attention to detail.

 

remind you of what i said?

 

Ummm... GO ahead?

 

i bascially said the same thing about lianli, you have to use them ur self, its the little detials, attention to details.

ok all. got my new WD 500gb GP hdd today.installed nice and easly no problems.
heres the question why in the hell does windows take so much of it???7% is what it takes but why? 500gb hdd i should have 500gb to us.after the 7% cut i only got 465gb. where in the hell is my other 35gb of space???

so now i got 3 hdd installed 2x250 and a 500gb the ide250 im gonna take all the stuff off it and put on the 500gb plus some stuff off the sata as well lighten the load on it.

clean out the ide drive then install vista on it to give it a try.
now my main drive the 250gb sata is in the master spot on the stat connectors on the mobo. do i need to move it or unplug it so it will read the ide drive as boot drive?
i know loco talked to me about dual boot drives. can i have it set up to choose which drive to boot from? thats if i like vista? ill give it a month or so to grow on me and learn it a bit before i make a decision to keep it or not

heck once moveing all the stuff i want off the main drive i only have 32gb of stuff on it. mostly programs..lol guess i need a small 80gb hdd for OS.lol

 

Windows doesn't take any, it's just that in windows, a gigabyte is 1024MB, not 1000. So your drive has 500,000,000,000 bytes.
500,000,000,000 bytes = 488,281,250KB
488,281,250 Kilobytes = 476,837MB
476,837 Megabytes = 465.661GB

 

so windows is stealing it...lol i see what your saying sam...its just stupid it does that. 7% thats alot.
heres a shot of everest look at the hdd temps...the WD is way cooler than the 2 seagates granted the one is running XP on it and hte rest are storage.



not bad i'd say.

 

Well Windows isn't stealing it. I personally think Disk Drive manufacturers mis label these drives.

 

They do, and a lawsuit is being prepared against them for it.
