bubbaQ Posted October 15, 2008 Share Posted October 15, 2008 Be forewarned, it is LOUD AS HELL... sounds like a jet engine taking off. Link to comment
NAS Posted October 15, 2008 Share Posted October 15, 2008 lol its not that loud. Its not even as loud as a last generation Dell server. If you used to quiet Pcs its loud. if your used to servers its quiet IMHO Link to comment

hypyke Posted October 15, 2008 Share Posted October 15, 2008 RULE: ALWAYS go to newegg first! Link to comment
WeeboTech Posted October 16, 2008 Share Posted October 16, 2008 RULE: ALWAYS go to newegg first! Yes good rule, to add to that... anything you see on eBay that is currently available as new, see newegg or do a web search first. eBay is good for old and used hardware. it's rare to find a low price on a brand new item. (but it does happen... just rarely) Link to comment
Romir Posted October 16, 2008 Share Posted October 16, 2008 http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=180298498079 With the 30% Microsoft cashback that actually is a good deal at $248 shipped. I barely talked myself out of buying one and then succumbed to cheap 1.5tb drives instead. Link to comment
