nVidia releases GeForce 9800 GTX !!!

Today will see the official launch of the GeForce 9800 GTX as the third member of the GeForce 9 series. Already we have seen the GeForce 9600 GT performing in the mainstream sector, the 9800 GX2 aimed at the high-end $500+ market, and now the 9800 GTX which sits right in-between. There is also a GeForce 9800 GTS on the way, but we will leave that for another occasion

Replacement HDD

HDD - SATA
I got the HDD’s back. They replaced my 200 GB & 250 GB with a 250GB & a 320 GB… I was quite surprised by that…. Looks like they wanted to compensate me for the LOSS !!! But What am I going to do with more and more storage !!!! I’ll store more stuff and if it crashes …. I have to have to buy a UPS !!!!! I’ll do it next week I guess…

HDD Crash – AGAIN !!!!!

HDD - SATA
I can’t believe my BAD LUCK !!! My second HDD { 250 GB One } failed !!!!!!! I can’t read anything from it… I thought At least I can copy my resume….. No chance !!!!! Over 250 GB Of Movies, Songs, Wallpapers, Photos, Tutorials etc all LOST !!!!! Its a Black day for my Computer ….

Off I go to the shop and give BOTH my HDD’s for replacement … I’m probably thinking about buying a UPS from them as well !!!! I was checking the prices…. APC costs double of Mercury !!! But I’m not sure whether its reliable… Can’t seem to find anyone who has used Mercury UPS !! Anyone I ask – APC UPS !!!!! That shows how many people have APC … I remember 9 years ago when I bought my first computer ( of course funded fully by my dad ) I had got a Zenith …. It worked for 2-3 years without any problems…..

But for myself – with system ON 24/7 & with B’lore POWER, I needed something that can “talk” with my system and work like a portable battery… It should hibernate when there is only 5 min charge is left…. I definitely have to do some R&D before I settle with any…..

HDD Crash !!!!

HDD
Today is not a good day for me…… One of my HDD { the 200GB one } CRASHED today :( !!!!! I don’t know…. But I wonder with 3 HDD’s, 1 DVDRW & Webcam — Does my SMPS have enough juice to keep it running ???? :) Luckily I had a chance to backup some of my stuff … Burn 50 movies & copy all my song collection ( 14 GB ) to my friends external HDD !!! Have backed up all other stuff to my 250GB one… Hope that doesn’t crash :o
