I actually thought of that but its a brand new sony bluray drive I don't want to damage it. Its a shame my silverstone chassis won't fit the drive. I was just with it being a media system the use of an external enclosure would limit me to only data.

Thanks.. hmm I wonder what the 2pin digital audio was for never came across it before.

Not sure what you by fly cable. Its a four pin wire that connects to where it says analog audio on the back of the cd drive. I know from when I used to build pcs a long time ago that it was there so you could play audio cd's directly. Theres also a two pin connector for digital audio. will I...

Hello I'm building a new system and my chassis has a door or flap in front of the cd drive bay. I installed the cd drive and realized the door is too small for drive to open. I decided I needed an external enclosure for my drive and was wondering if anyone knows of an external enclosure that...

Thanks for the recommendations I've researched raid a bit since I posted this. I'll definetly check out the boards you mentioned. I'm going to go with the new seagate drives 15k 146g SAS 8mb cache x2.. From what i've read raid 0 will fulfill my needs as I really need fast transfer rates rather...

Hey I'm new to SAS and RAID, in fact I have no clue what RAID levels are or anything. Basically I'm going to have several SAS 10k 15k drives in a new system i'm putting together and don't know what to look for in a controller card. Not really concerned about compatibility with SATA/II but want...

Thank you for taking the time to answer my question. I've been running my current system into the ground its about 5 years old now. I need to run many apps at the same time such as cinema 4d, painter (using 75meg + files), excel, firefox, games etc.. my current system is just inadequate and I...

Need a fast hard drive with fairly large capacity. what is faster the scsi ultra 160/320's or a sata setup? also do SATA drives plug straight into a backplane or do they use a cable. Thanks

Thanks, although I couldn't figure out how to limit the amount of characters inputed using getch()I managed to use the isdigit instead of using my own function. I had to change my program around because for some reason it would compile okay but whenever I entered a number it would crash. I...

Like I said I just bashed out the code from the proper program to test what wasn't working right, thats not the real one. I was trying to illustrate how in the input loop you cannot enter a dot to start an octet so it asks for the input again clearing the value aswell as repositioning the...

This isn't the full program but I rewrote the functional part that is causing the problem. The program i'm working on is going to be used to calculate subnets and vlsm's. All I'm asking of c++ and getche() is that It will prevent the user from starting the ip address (or octet of ip address)...

On second thought, what is my code doing then? with the input 1234 I get the output 3434, you'd think the compiler would say something if it was incorrect syntax. Unless its storying two instances of two input values, I don't know, I can't find anything anywhere that says anything about...

Thanks, I guess was thinking I was using qbasic or something for a second.

hello I'm a little confused as to why this isn't working, I think it may be the IDE/compiler I use which is Dev c++ 4 (I didn't know what other group to post this in) Its a snippet from a larger program I'm using I wanted to test what exactly wasn't working. I have a 2d array and to test it you...

Hello I have a question about CD encoding, on this page http://www.digitalprosound.com/Features/2000/Sept/RecCD5.htm the third paragraph under SUBCODES it explains about the PQ subcode data and how there are 8 bits in each frame P & Q being the first two. Now they say P (1bit) gives information...
