It started making that dreaded clicking noise and Windows went... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~407225863812 Wed, 7 Nov 2007 00:51:42 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_407225863812?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_406174142084?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author hangfire - I have one raid set with the predecessor drive, the WD4000YR, and had good luck with them. Based on that I built the next RAID volume in the SATA-to-SCSI box with this follow-on drive, the WD4000YS. I've had nothing but problems, and now I know why... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~406174142084 Mon, 22 Oct 2007 18:01:14 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_406174142084?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_289782271620?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 2/5 by: Epinions Author hangfire - There was a lot to love when I shopped for the Olympus- previous good experience with the brand, huge rear display, tiny size, handy shape, optical zoom, huge 7.1 Megapixel resolution. I took some pics in the well-lit camera shop, used the zoom feature... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~289782271620 Sun, 10 Dec 2006 02:41:04 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_289782271620?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_209501392516?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author hangfire - After helping build a deck, my Skil 12V was pretty much shot. It was time to buy a new drill driver, and I found this one. It's always a little nerve wracking paying extra for a tool when there are 6 just like it for 30 bucks less, but I was tired of... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~209501392516 Thu, 27 Oct 2005 01:05:45 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_209501392516?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_208105410180?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author hangfire - When my MiniCom KVM (Keyboard/Video/Mouse switch) went South after playing with some very high resolutions, I decided to pick up a KVM that also switched Audio. This would simplify my desktop somewhat, since I had a seperate Audio mixer to consolidate... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~208105410180 Wed, 12 Oct 2005 00:55:47 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_208105410180?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_197501423236?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author hangfire - Update- 10/2007. I am still using this planer on a regular basis, and its performance continues to please while the chip evacution continues to annoy. It is best used outside, where the 30 second bag can be removed and the chips can just blow away... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~197501423236 Sun, 2 Oct 2005 01:15:54 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_197501423236?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_197019799172?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author hangfire - I purchased the HL-2070N for two main reasons. The first is ongoing costs. The second is the depth of Brother's Linux support. Both are working out very well for me. I'll also cover some of the nice features and the excellent warranty. Cost... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~197019799172 Sun, 25 Sep 2005 02:46:04 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_197019799172?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_196451995268?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author hangfire - I've been running the MB for over a year now, so time for a review. :) This was Asus's number two motherboard, second only to the P4C800E Dlx. The only difference between the two is the Intel Chipset- 865 for the P model and 875 for the C. Both of... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~196451995268 Sat, 17 Sep 2005 00:44:14 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_196451995268?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_190389784196?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author hangfire - After struggling for 3 years with a Sears "automatic feed" string trimmer, when tax return season came this year I decided to buy a GOOD trimmer. I did some research which payed off in the form the Stihl KM-110-R. It may seem unfair to compare a... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~190389784196 Wed, 20 Jul 2005 00:30:56 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_190389784196?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_189577465476?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author hangfire - MTD consumer tractor brands include Bolens, Yard Machines, Huskee, the powerfully ugly yellow and green Yard Man, Toro, and at the top, Wheel Horse and Cub Cadet. They are all based on either the large or small frame, and you'll find a remarkable... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~189577465476 Tue, 12 Jul 2005 23:16:37 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_189577465476?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_186845138564?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author hangfire - Update! 5/2008 Three years later and this A/C is still going strong. The strong dehumidification ability really makes my combination garage/workshop livable, plus it knocks 10 degrees off of the hottest summer days. To the fellow who doesn't... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~186845138564 Fri, 24 Jun 2005 00:47:22 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_186845138564?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_184981294724?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author hangfire - You'd think there's not much to review for a peg hook. It either works right, or it doesn't. This one works right. To realize why that matters, you have to take a look at the competition. Specifically, the competing Crawford brand found in many Home... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~184981294724 Wed, 1 Jun 2005 23:34:35 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_184981294724?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_183804137092?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author hangfire - There are actually two versions of this motherboard, with the name GA-K8NS-939, both sporting the nVidia nForce 3 Ultra chipset. The "better" model has IEEE 1394 (aka Firewire), two Gigabit Ethernet ports and two audio-in's on the motherboard. The one I... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~183804137092 Fri, 20 May 2005 00:15:01 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_183804137092?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_154740493956?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author hangfire - Competing with the almighty 440BX chipset, and introduced late in the PIII/Coppermine lifecycle, the Soyo SY-6VCA had a short day in the sun. While rich with overclocking features, lots of expandability (for its time) and flexibility, the Slot 1... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~154740493956 Wed, 8 Sep 2004 11:19:53 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_154740493956?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_154630524548?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author hangfire - Usually when Asus gets to the "E" generation of a board, it is mature and works well, and that describes the P4P800E-Deluxe. The only hazard is sometimes it's also obsolete- but no problems here. It works FAST, and (at this writing) still supports the... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~154630524548 Tue, 7 Sep 2004 10:19:20 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_154630524548?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_153474207364?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author hangfire - The xe Pavillions were marketed through Wal-Mart and the like, I happened to get mine through Egghead Direct as a refurb. I suspect it originally came with Win 98SE but my refurb had ME. I bought it as a simple MS Office/Web surfing machine, and it has... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~153474207364 Fri, 27 Aug 2004 18:00:14 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_153474207364?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_153463721604?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author hangfire - Nice web-based interface, very easy to set-up. (I may not be a judge of this, having too much networking experience to see things from a newbie's point of view.) That's all fine, but... this unit locks up about once a week. Well, sort of.

The new VIA KT266A chipset on board was supposed to fix all of the problems with the original KT266 chipset in previous products. Well, running Win98SE (at that time, still the gamer's choice OS), it... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~153460903556 Fri, 27 Aug 2004 16:34:59 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_153460903556?linkin_id=8003929
