are you willing to put an aftermarket cooler on it?

And I was wondering if it would be possible to mod one of these to fit with an air cooler:

Last time I was at a nearby electronics store, they had 1.5 TB HDDs for $100, but they were made by Hitachi. Worth it? (I'd only buy 1 because I'm broke, so no RAID 69 backup magic; plus, I don't even need that much space, so I'd be ok getting a smaller drive so long as it lasted longer; I'm more concerned about the data and not losing it than having enough space for it)

I've had Hitachi's for years, no problems.

Need help buying a new SSD. I heard there is a difference between MLC and SLC. Which one is better and why?. Thanks in advance.

SLC is better, faster and more durable but also much more difficult to manufacture = very costly.

The new MLC drives are good enough for home user, servers still prefer SLC for best io performance.

I wouldn't look at any other SSD atm than Intel X25-M G2 series.

Cool, I might get that soon with my birthday money and some other money, when I get at least a laptop. (Current rig chugs @1440x900, I don't even want to see the performance @ 192x1080) Hopefully I'll be getting a new desktop in the next month or so.

looking at this laptop: http://www.amazon.com/ASUS-U30JC-A1-13- … B0036ZEANO

Thoughts on it are appreciated.

Will be used mostly for school, maybe some older games as well.

to people with a cursory knowledge of CSS/HTML:

how do i add links to my twitter, last.fm and personal website respectively to the side-bar navigation pane of this tumblr theme?

ive seen people modify the standard menu from 'following', 'next page' etc. to include custom fonts and links- i know it's easy, i just can't be bothered to look into such a small superficial change

If you have access to the html file, find this section of code:

Code:

<ul class="faint" id="main_nav">
    <li><a href="/#about" class="rounded">About</a></li>
    <li><a href="/#following" class="rounded">Following</a></li>
    <li><a href="/#search" class="rounded">Search</a></li> 
    <li><a href="/archive" class="rounded">Archive</a></li>
</ul>
Add

Code:

<li><a href="link to twitter" class="rounded">Twitter</a></li>
<li><a href="link to last.fm" class="rounded">last.fm</a></li>
<li><a href="link to your website" class="rounded">My Website</a></li>
before the </ul>

Amazon with free shipping or Newegg with $13 shipping?

Hopefully will be ordering in the next couple days, to use for schoolwork and everything until I get around to getting a desktop after the BSA National Jamboree, so like August...

Vcore testing, ~3.8GHz well under stock voltage. Temps are sound optimized ( very low speed fans), thats why 70c temps.
