Techno Button Master

With the new 10k drive installed, my poor little undersized PSU has hit the wall.

So I can have either..

• Sli, 2 harddrives and no case fans
• Sli, 1 HDD and Case fans
• Single VGA, 3 HDD & 2 Case Fans

I think I will get a bigger PSU (1000W???)

water cooling next anyone?

So everyone knows that one of the biggest bottle necks in a computer is the Harddisk (mostly) and the faster you can make this the better your computer will be, I have always tried to ensure that my computers had at least 7200rm disks due to the faster RPM and inturn better basic performance..

This had been true until I got a proper laptop, where battery life was king, in short I installed a 64GB SSD, Sorted!.

Back to my desktop, as I have been out of the desktop arena for around 5 years I dont fully know about every single new term (read:SATA300) all I know for sure is that a 10,000RPM is better then a 7,200RPM, it has to be, for that money

Strangly its a 2.5″ although its about 50% thicker then a normal one, is that normal?

Fast as 10k can be

It goes nicely into this bay here

antech nice

And install Windows 7 (20mins)

Is it fast? in a word YES, can I prove it.. Ill post some pics.. soon

I just got a new phone, HTC Hero (orange uk)

some good points

• Slightly slimmer and shorter
• higher angle of “chin”
• feels alot better, more solid
• UI is much richer!

Its good to see some more (better) devices being released with the Android OS, windows mobile is dead to me and iphone is far from good enough to support my tinkering nature.

After running the G1 (rooted) I was left wanting more! i installed some custom (cooked) ROMS but although they looked great, they ran not so great! finally I got a UI that looks really good and runs just as good.. now to root..

I saved all my money and then some and got a new computer, desktop. First time in about 5 years! its strange how living in a small room can make you think about laptops differently! anyway, I wanted a good machine that would play Crysis! (I dont play games for years, but wanted to be able to.. haha) so i knew I needed somthing really good.

I went for..

• Intel i7 2.66ghz (920)
• 6x 2GB DDR3
• 2x Nvidia GTX 285 1GB
• Gigabyte x52 Mainboard
• 150GB 10k SATA3 Drive (primary)
• terrabytes of other disks
• Antec Full Tower
• 500W PSU

I had a 24″ Screen (HD) so that was ok.

All in all it was fairly good price and fit togther nicely!

3dmark Vantage = 25000 (approx, will update correctly)

3dmark 06 = 35000 26000

Quake3 Demo001 = 910fps 1152×1024
