the WD green ones are tops, dont use much power in comparison to other hdd's

WD

[Normsta]

I've had nothing but problems with WD, so I'm going Seagate.

[Madaz]

no troubles here with WD

[bezender]

wd are the most consistant hdd's I have come across. (used to make hardware firewalls with em that would need to run constantly and un-maintained for many months). in some cases a couple years

seagate r ok too. nothing wrong with em, they have not proved themselves to me tho.

just steer clear of deskstar drves... they are time bombs

[Cubes]

Only issue with WD's I've found is heat. If you run the computer in a poorly ventilated case and the room does not have good aircon on those summer days expect the click of death following a good year of use.

Aren't the "green" drives only 5400 rpm though?

[Normsta]

My problem with WD was vibrations. It was so bad that after removing it, the computer is about half as loud as it used to be.

[Cubes]

My 640gb WD aaks definitely vibrates a lot more than my seagate drives.

BUT the WD drive is a hell of a lot quieter when seeking.

Rubber mounted HD's FTW!

[bezender]

yeah the green drives go at 5400 rpm, but i just use 3 of em to store movies n shows...

got a couple raptors for a boot drive and for running games.

jus wondering what ppl use for a browser?

i use firefox with a few choice extensions:

adblock plus

self explanatory really, blocks all those frikkin ads

download statusbar

statusbar that sits at the bottom of the browser, instead of opening a separate window

ie tab

allows u to open a page within firefox using the ie engine

smart bookmarks bar

love this one, strips the name of the url off the book mark and just leaves the logo

url fixer

fixes typos that u put in the address bar

what extensions do u guys use?

oh btw am trying the google browser and it fails... so slow

[DamageInc]

on firefox i use foxmarks , backs all your bookmarks up to a server so when you go places or reformat you can either login to the site and browse your saved sites or download them exactly how you have them setup

highly recommend this app!!

[Chris#3]

Firefox 3.0 (haven't installed 3.1 yet)

NoScript (A security feature)

Piclens (Allows better browsing of most picture/video hosts such as youtube, photobucket, etc)

Video download (Let's you download flash videos from youtube, etc)

Abduction (An advanced version of print screen basically)

[Mayuri Krab]

Firefox 3 on main com

with that plugin that allows you to rip videos off you tube

IE7 on my laptop, couldn't be bothered to change.

+1 for the SAU cod4 clan thing.

FF3 with AdBlockPlus

I hate IE with a passion. Previous workplace implimented FF as their primary browser across the organisation. Was awesome!

FF is alot easier to fix, diagnose, customise, etc etc etc
