This raptor is every bit faster than its predecessors, you can barely hear the chatter with the hard drive out in the open. It's really silent! I'll be picking up another drive on friday and put them in RAID0.

Yeah, and Newegg.com pleads ignorance and disregard to their illicit use of my photo on more than half a dozen sales advertisements.

wow, you did a terrific job manta! Dremel tools are the bomb for modding a case.

you're simply changing a few GUI functions in the firmware that are only enabled to a specific carrier. Take the Motorola RAZR for example, Verizon has most of the RAZR's options tailored and enabled to their service. If you went to Sprint and picked up the same phone, you will clearly find that a plethora of options ARE turned off. Like the ability to use the GPS, or download ring tones, and video clips, etc. That's how these phone carriers monopolize the market. There are quite a few other options the general public doesn't even know exists on the V3M. Like having an entire song play as a ring tone, not just a portion of it, or the ability to upload via USB...games, documents, spreadsheets, ring tones, music videos, your music collection, and record video clips up to a gigabyte. Use your PC's USB connection charge the RAZR, use the razr as your thumb drive, grab a 6GB microSD card while you're at it. Would you brick your phone if you knew that you could attain those options? Most of them can be easily enabled/disabled if done carefully with no harm whatsoever. Verizon has limited functionality, strategically tailored for you to PAY for wallpapers, video clips, and ring tones through their online service. You couldn't add them any other way, even if you had internet service at home. Essentially people were pissed off. Would you purchase a PC from Sprint if they were the only company that enabled writing to a blank CD? BS similar to that is happening with the phone market. I have two RAZRs, one from each of the above carriers to prove it. I learned how to enable every option without being tied to Verizon's limitation. Why must you have to pay for music that you already bought on CD, simply to have it play on your cell phone? Is that why people are so attracted to the IPhone? Well folks, you don't need an Apple IPhone to do that.

I'm curious as to what comes out. =)

the Attache's are durable enough. Besides the durability factor doesn't warrant such over-inflated price tag. Heck remove the shell from the 16GB, dunk it in some epoxy resin, let it dry, and you can run it over with a bus.

With that amount of money you can double your capacity and opt for the PNY - Attaché 16GB Flash Drive from BestBuy and save $20.

That's true, I'm downloading Linux.

I have Big Typhoon in my Antec 900. Silent, huge, but very effective cooling characteristics. It can even handle heat from an Intel Core 2 Quad processor.
