Broke two (expensive!) 3TB drives within a day of getting each. First one was sat on floor and being written to. Knocked on side once, dead. Second one was pulled off a desk by power cable by dog, it was powered on but idle - dead Luckily not my drive nor money and owned by a reasonable person, but rather painful to do  | ||

Some decent percentage of drives ship or arrive mechanically imperfect and may be exposed as unreliable after testing all the sectors. Maybe you just accelerated the testing process to find bad samples?  | ||

I have no empirical basis for this. | ||

I have no empirical basis for this. Yes, and also the difference in weight and size and so on. But anyway, I sure as hell don't have good knowledge or intuition on mechanical systems. Your guess is as good or better than mine. | ||

What download speed internet package are you paying for? Streaming can make a huge difference and 2 streams going at the same time will probably hurt if you don't have a very quick internet speed. | ||

It's probably from a dumb update of Adobe. Any ideas how to remove this behavior? | ||

The catch: I don't have internet or the original cd to be able to download drivers. Edit: The computer now only freezes when I go to type in the password for the wireless. | ||

Radeon 6970 1TB HDD 4GB DDR3 1600 AMD Phenom ii x4 ATX Gigabyte mobo This is what I plan to buy to complete the HTPC: Corsair 650W Modular PSU 3.5" card reader HTPC Case 5.25" Blu-Ray Drive That case will fit my 11" GPU, if I remove one of the HDD cages, but the airflow inside the case will probably be terrible. But I want a horizontal case that resembles an audio component like that. Anyone have any tips for different parts to get? | ||

even the 650m is the same price as tx750m Cases.. you have to be quite picky with small cases, even if everything fits, you only have 2x 80mm fan on that.. Basically a closed environment with less than a strong 120mm fan as your entire airflow | ||

So my process is i7 4770k (I got this for 115$, I don't really care for overclocking no reason to right now) Motherboard is http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813157372 Case is: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B008HD3EFA/ref=oh_details_o03_s00_i00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 I just want a cooler that is easy to install (no back plate). Thanks in advance! I just want to be able to use my CPU without it hitting 85 under full load. | ||

Though you'd be much better off buying a better heatsink that requires a backplate... not sure why you're opposed to one since you have a Define R4 and a K suffix processor along with a Z87. Well looks like a huge pain in the ass to install and I don't want to take my motherboard out of the case. | ||
