The hum happens because of interference between the two drives. The platters in them don't rotate at the same frequency, which then causes resonance, and which is then transferred to the case. Rubber gromets won't do anything about that.

You need to suspend the drives.

I'm getting somewhat annoyed with my B&W 302s... But unfortunately, I don't have money to replace them with something better

Actually, the more paste there is, the harder it is for the excess to be squeezed-out. What does come out, in the case of AS5, can be very dangerous.

Do you happen to know the % gamut relative to NTSC of the 2009 iMac 24 inch screen? I am happy with what I see on it, so it's a solid reference point for me.

I think it's wide gamut, but MacOS knows how to deal with it.

sRGB is 72% of NTSC gamut. Everything above that is considered wide gamut, and the higher the number, the less accurate the colours.

Don't most monitors include, besides the various "color temperature" selectors, an individual color level adjuster on a per-color-channel scale? They do. Since your monitor's controls are broken, go into your graphics card settings and you'll find some colour sliders there - lower one of the channe...

There is one color that I think one can most easilly notice is over-saturated: that is color red. For instance, looking at pictures with people (where they show their skin), the skin looks too reddish. Looking at images with red objects: red is very very vivid, maybe too vivid. Hard to tell. Maybe ...

It's an option, but it does nothing - it almost never does. Only top-end, *really* expensive monitors with 12-bit LUTs and the like can emulate sRGB gamut. This monitor can't.

The sRGB setting does absolutely nothing on this monitor.

Wide gamut is an inherent property of the backlight, and the electronics of the panel aren't capable of toning it down to sRGB. Whatever WideColor is, it carries no relevance to the subject of gamut. That said, if you are using the monitor in a colour-managed environment (and photo and video-editing...

That is far, far too much paste. Even "grain of rice" is too much.

Let me fix that for you: Come to Australia! Strong Central and Eastern European communities here and guaranteed minimum spiders of 478 per week and a minimum of 1 world's most poisonous snake in your bathroom per day provided by Federal Law. And there's the kangaroos... *shudder* I like it here. The...

No, I meant monthly

I will consider the X25-M when it doesn't cost the price of a desktop computer, notebook or netbook here in Australia. Lowest price I can find currently is AUD$499. When it drops down to AUD$100, I will consider jumping on the SSD bandwagon. AUD$499 and you're complaining? :) Let me dig up some pri...

The only way you could be idling at 45C is if the cooler isn't making good contact with the core. That's hard to believe, especially when load temperature is less than 15C higher. Temperature monitoring on new Intel CPUs just plain sucks. You can't trust it. Is the computer working? It is. So turn o...

OMG, I just googled Antec 200...

http://img.hexus.net/v2/internationalev ... 63-big.jpg

I guess we can safely conclude that Antec is dead.

People in my office are running on very old 20 GB Maxtor drivezzzzzzzzzbbbzzzzzzzzz and nobody is complaining because they have no reason to. They don't need anything faster. I have an 80 GB Seagate and while it's a bit slow because of high access time, it's not really that annoying, and doesn't hur...

A standard office setup could run on a dinosaur-age 10 GB drive. We're talking mainstream here.

1) $225 *will* translate to at least 225€ or £225

2) People content with 80 GB of storage space are also content with an old HDD

SSDs are still very far from having great value. But should I manage to win the lottery and stop worrying about putting food on my table, I'll consider them

I'd be willing to pay 50€ for a 128 GB version. Still much, much too expensive.

It's such a gorgeous case from the outside, but such a disaster from the inside... That's truly a shame.

What Antec needs is a Solo with the looks of the Sonata, and it would sell like a lady of the night.

Well, the next time the guy appears there, stop all usage of your internet connection (you and your housemates), and see if the traffic on the router increases.

Uhm... Where did you get that quote from? This critical flaw (which *has* been used for 0-day malware delivery) is only present in Fx 3.5 because of an issue in TraceMonkey.

Artificial leather. (The last time I said that, people were laughing, but what can you do.)

Firefox has been plagued by serious security flaws since it was first released - you only have the impression that this is something new or that Firefox really is secure. In reality, it's worse than new versions of IE.

Check if you can access those sites through their IP addresses.

Even if seek time was equal, the Velociraptor would stil pwn a short-stroked drive in real-world usage... Why? Because it has better firmware.

Anyway, like people have said already, it's called "partitioning".

Open CCC, unlock Overdrive, see what happens.
