    Don't shout at your hard drives..

    he only mentions JBOD. i wonder if some forms of raid would somehow be more resistant?

    Power Usage: What'cha Usin'?

    hmm, good idea! but that means i have to learn how to get the device to monitor usage over time. i know it does it, but i've never used that function. off and hibernate would use the same amount of power. i would bet that, from a electricity usage standpoint, it would be better to use...

    best free VNC software?

    i swore i asked this a long time ago and i can't find the thread and a search for "VNC" doesn't turn up anything. since the free version of realvnc doesn't work on Win7, what's the best program to use? something leightweight and simple is good. i would like to use the built-in remote desktop...

    can i get a disc image of 7?

    yeah, i got that far... ... but i would like to have the "ultimate" discs, both 32 and 64-bit, so i can install any version since i have both a home premium and professional key now.

    can i get a disc image of 7?

    well, i figured how to make a bootable ISO out of the files i DL'd when i purchased it... which basically seems to be the same thing you have linked. nice to have if i need the 32-bit version, though. thanks. will they work for retail and upgrade keys?

    can i get a disc image of 7?

    i have a legit home premium key that i bought through the student deal, but no disc. what's a good way to get a complete, virgin, safe 64-bit image? is it legal to do this or should i pay $13 to MS for them to send me one?

    help me with different versions

    so if you have the OEM version for a while then build a new comp and want to install it on it (no longer using the old install), will it be able to be activated? if it's possible with a quick call to MS, then why would someone get the upgrade version which costs more and hassles you with an old...

    help me with different versions

    i want to upgrade my dad's comp and get him Windows 7 Home Premium when it comes out, but there are 3 versions. here is what (i think) i understand and what i'm not clear on; OEM for System Builders ($110) - can only be installed on one configuration. a major hardware change will void it...

    Digital Audio Cable

    a blu-ray drive sends all the data (video and audio) down the SATA cable to the mobo. then the audio either gets sent to a digital audio out port to be sent to an external receiver and decoded, or to the sound card (onboard or PCI) which would decode it and output analog. what connections does...
