As of 1:35PM EST the price has increased. There are two prices shown for new drives shipped from a vendor shown as Electronica Direct. Apparently you can choose to pay Electronica Direct either $118.19 or $107.97 for the same drive. Shipping is shown as $7.87. After two bad experiences I will not sh...

Three of the drives are suspended and one is in a sled. The Solo contains chassis, cpu and psu fans all of which are ve...

ces, Windows 7 can be installed completely without entering a key. The first time you install from the upgrade disk leave the key blank and uncheck the box that says activate online. After Windows 7 has installed the first time boot to your upgrade disk for a second time and reinstall but enter your...

You probably do not need front fans with the Antec Solo. The hard drives have ample airflow with no obstructions. I run four Samsung hard drives which rarely exceed 35 degrees with all airflow provided by a rear Slipstream running at 700 rpm. I threw the metal front fan mount in the trash can. Even ...

This thread is a little old but in reply to Shamgar. I think it would be better to install Windows 7 on a primary partition created by Easeus Partition Master. When the partitioning is handled by Windows 7 a hidden partition is created. I have used Easeus Partition Master to increase the size of a p...

Religion is the perfect scam. Preachers are selling the promise of life after death. The cost of goods sold is zero, the proceeds are tax exempt and the dead cannot demand a refund when the afterlife fails to materialize. People are easily victimized partly because the fear of death is very strong. ...

Hi, if you install Windows 7 on a clean disk it creates a small partition for something. Even if you try to partition the disk as one large one taking the whole space it still does it as it needs it.

I have used Samsung drives exclusively since the first SATA 1 160GB units with JVC or Nidec motors. My two 160GB drives were both silent JVCs so maybe I got lucky.
