I think I still prefer the SOLO to the SOLO II. I like the removable PSU support bar, but would prefer to have an easier opening front door, and more external drive facades. This is fine if all I'm going to have is a DVD and Bluray burner pair, but if I add any A/V front inputs or additional front-c...

My subjective opinion on the F3EG. I bought four drives this past week and hooked them up over the weekend. One I'm using as unattached backup, while the other three are being run in RAID. Two of the drives have greater vibration than my 500GB blue Caviar, while the other two have less. [The three d...

The WD is quieter. ;) I have both hdds and they are very together evry short, but the slightly quieter Sorry, I'm not sure I followed that.

From what I can see there, looks like the "Gold" premium is $20 (a bit more, really, considering the downsize in watt rati...

Will the 550LT ever show up? It's been >7 months since I started looking for it. I'd like to echo my interest in the answer to that question. I have a similar system I'm building to Hammer's (smaller video card, though -- and I'm putting it in a case :)) I'd like to have the Gold/silent/modular X65...
