September 04, 2008 at 01:42Jeffsayson another note, I was completely blown away at how cheap hard drives have become lately. I got a 160gb SATA WD for P2,000
September 04, 2008 at 01:42Jeffsaysbrinknotes: yes it is! it looks so much better than the cheap 1,000-peso cases that are everywhere

September 04, 2008 at 07:51Captain Plurkthat is why I am also looking for a cheap NAS, since HDD prices are cheap nowadays
September 08, 2008 at 13:27Cocoy()asksquick question: Vista v. XP? i'm going to get 2-- maybe 3 Whiteboxes but i also want to play games on it. Vista is good or bad?
September 08, 2008 at 13:40Jeffsayscocoy: Vista is not bad at all. re: games, DirectX 10 on Vista looks good on paper, but the reality is there are only a few games today ...
September 08, 2008 at 13:44Jeffsaysthat really take advantage of it, but they run noticeably better than the dumbed-down XP/DirectX 9 modes. as expected, hardware requirements
September 08, 2008 at 13:43Jeffsaysto get acceptable DirectX 10 performance is HUGE. think SLI. you want to eek the most performance without emptying your wallet
September 08, 2008 at 13:46JeffsaysEDIT: if you want to get the most performance within reasonable hardware costs, stick to XP. I remember sticking to Win98 for Warcraft 3 lol
September 08, 2008 at 23:16Cocoy()saysflywheelsmindwipe, thanks man! i'll bear that in mind when i make the purchase later.
