For you, friendo.
for what fucking purpose? Why couldn't they just make big heatsinks? Why this rollercoaster shit? Getting a decent air cooler on there must have been a bitch and a half.

this is more of a useful thing if you're trying to repair an old laptop that uses IDE instead of SATA drives, as IDE laptop drives are nearly impossible to find new-stock of these days.
There's no speed increase, obviously, since you're limited by the ATA133 spec (if you're even that lucky).

they should have swapped the d-pad and analog stick positions. this way if you use the 4 buttons on the right and the stick on the left your hands are not at the same level, making the whole thing much harder to carry. how can you fuck up this bad? also, all the buttons and also the sticks look like they cost 0,00001$ to produce

>>52026336
Some people like long boot up times, and like to saviour the loading times. with SSDs there is pretty much no loading times at all. You basically lose that feature AND you pay money to lose loading screens people have spent time coding. that is why SSDs are memes.

I think he means significant speed increases.
With an ssd you usually go from a hard drive limited to around 80MB/s iirc, to 550MB/s, but with the pata ssd you go from around 40MB/s to 80-90 MB/s, which is a decent improvement especially when you factor in seek and spin, but not worth the price for such an old system.

What makes the SSD so good is not that it has high raw throughput but rather that the seek times are a tenth of what they are on the HDD.
>>52030913
>PATA hard drive

No. The original Raptor came out at the changeover (it was a PATA drive with a SATA bridge) and it maxed out at 63MB outer track.

My 7990 and e5-2670 disagree
>>52031122
How shitty is your environment that air cooling won't work for you?
I'd actually take back my statement as Liquid Cooling could be useful for servers, but It doesn't need to be marketed for the average "gaymur" the way that it is right now.
>>52031137
>I'd actually take back my statement as Liquid Cooling could be useful for servers, but It doesn't need to be marketed for the average "gaymur" the way that it is right now.
Oh no i totally agree on that, it's just that at a certain point you need to start turning up the fans if you want adequate cooling. liquid can remain silent.
The only issue with this current setup is that the 7990 has a piece of shit heatsink and fans.
The processor just doenst give a fuck.

Wireless Home Digital Interface (WHDI) is a consumer electronic specification for a wireless HDTV connectivity throughout the home.
WHDI enables delivery of uncompressed high-definition digital video over a wireless radio channel connecting any video source (computers, mobile phones, Blu-ray players etc.) to any compatible display device. WHDI is supported and driven by Amimon, Hitachi Ltd., LG Electronics, Motorola, Samsung Group, Sharp Corporation and Sony.[1]

I mean I guess you CAN move the source of the noise out of your room by putting the radiator and pump elsewhere, but then it's easier to just move the PC into another room and run cables through the wall.

They're supposed to provide better ping times which is nothing but a marketing gimmick. They're not as common today, but back in the early 2000's when broadband internet first started to become popular they were a pretty big deal. I never bought into them or bought one. Always just used modems my ISP provided me and never had an issue.
