Would you recommend a couple of these bad boys in RAID 0 then? Will I notice much difference?

Seagate Barracuda 7200.10 500GB ST3500630AS SATA-II 16MB Cache - OEM

Thanks

Nic

That's precisely what I would do, and you will not notice a difference.

Also

1TB 4TW!!!!!

Nic Miller · 22 Mar 2007 at 16:11

what does 4TW mean ?!

masslac · 22 Mar 2007 at 16:21

For the win.

Nic Miller · 22 Mar 2007 at 16:41

Can you use 4Gb in XP? Just wondering as I have the money now and won't be upgrading again for a long time, so makes sense (to me) to put in 4Gb and forget about it.

Also is an E6600 easy to overclock for a beginner - nothing major, just up to E6700 speeds to prevent me from buying that chip!

Thanks

XP can only utilise 2GB. TBH even under Vista I don't think it's gonna be worth running 4GB till later in the year anyway.

Nic Miller · 22 Mar 2007 at 22:39

Cheers! 2Gb it is!

Has anyone used this keyboard ?

Razer Tarantula Advanced Gaming Keyboard - Black

Thanks!

Mishima - it's the best, Custom PC said so

So if Custom PC told you to pur your hand in the fire would you?

I think you ll find that all the top coolers available (Tower, Noctua, Infinity and Ultra 120) all performs pretty well and it will probably down to personal taste on which one they get.

Also I got my TJ-09 yesterday and it looks lush, you ll love it. Shame my components wont come till monday

Nic Miller · 22 Mar 2007 at 22:55

Yeah the case looks great - did you get black or silver?

Just need to decide on this damn keyboard! down to either the G15 or the razor tarantula...............pls help !

mishima · 22 Mar 2007 at 22:59

Have no idea on keyboard as I prefer to use dell slim-lines. G15 looks better though

Nic Miller · 22 Mar 2007 at 23:19

Personally I think the Tarantula looks tha canines cajones ! Very stylish which is important. Gets good writeups - only down side is the lack of lit keys - but then there is some add on which you can get.

I think the G15 looks a bit naff to be honest! Looks a bit cheap and gimmicky. Would never use the LCD. The macro buttons are on the wrong side of the keyboard as well!

mishima · 22 Mar 2007 at 23:20

Looks like you have answered your Q then

Nic Miller · 22 Mar 2007 at 23:26

Would really like someone who has used one to confirm that they are a great keyboard though!

Cheers

As long as they did a full review on how the fire wasn't hot really, and gave it a nice 'Custom PC recommended' badge

g00dsh0t · 23 Mar 2007 at 22:25

G15 owns(Saitek inc)+ its nice to see how much a game is using my pcs resources while gaming.
a gaming rig isnt a gaming rig without raptors m8 lol tbh if i had the choice again id still have the raptors!..why? they are the fasted sata drives you can get.period
c ya

Nic Miller · 24 Mar 2007 at 00:26

Damn! I had decided on 2x500Gb seagates.......

Which do I do....1x 150 raptor or 2x500Gb Seagate......seems a no brainer for the same price considering the tiny speed increase!
