SATA aka Serial AT Attachment, is the drive connectivity cable used in modern computers. It replaced the ATA cable (those huge thick ass cables) about 5 or so years ago? They are alot easier to connect and far smaller.



Open the case up, grab a brush (I have a set of wire brushes, but couldn't find the toolbox I had them in), a bottle of compressed air, a cotton tip, and clean out the dust that the fans accumulate over time.

It helps increase airflow, which helps cool the case (needed in my system, which will have 4 hard drives, a dvd, a heavy duty PSU, CPU and GPU). My case has 2 fans in the front to draw air in, 2 on the sides that blow into the CPU and GPU, and 1 at the rear that draws hot air out the back.

They all have red LED's in them. I cleaned all of them except the top one at the front, I forgot I had it, and it's not in a very easy place to clean.

Mack...are you a WoW player?

best - went to canterbury races today as the teachers union had a day there, we got free entry,food and drinks,

worst - the free drinks where only wine and tooheys new, and the 'free period' only lasted for 2 and a half hour even though a race day goes for a few hours,

Christ no. Apart from the fact the Fantasy genre isn't my thing, I've resolved never to play it. I've seen too many gaming friends get lost to even think about it.

I've only played one MMO, which was Age of Sail ship/piracy based. Unfortunately, the server population was never high enough, and after about 6 months, I just couldn't be bothered putting in the effort. It's a shame, I liked the game mechanics, but they just didn't work.

I'm looking forward to the Star Wars MMO though.

Neither...was just wondering about the computer which has more upgrades and probably more power than a Datsun.

Ok, ok, WE'LL take Fevola, Bradshaw and Rischitelli. \:d/ That way, all your problems are solved. \:d/

Best: Got some solid work done for my surveying final submission done today.
Worst: Missed Hey Hey because of it.

Fuck, havnt even THOUGHT about my formal yet.

I went to laser tag with about 6 mates on the formal night...:lol:

Lol I love suiting up my friends and I love it got two now as just yesterday dad gave me one of his older ones (he buys a new suit every year pretty much) the bad thing though is that he is broader in the shoulders than me so it doesnt sit that well on the shoulders.

Best: Shit day at school over
Worst: Twas a pretty ordinary day really

EDIT
Happy to see the Pies have got Jolly to bolster our ruck and hopefully we can use Fraiser as trad bait to get Ball. Shit piece of bussiness by Voss imo, Bradshaw and Brown are an awesome partnership, fair enough he is getting on in years and Fev is younger and a better goal scorer that is a fair trade but to put a good young player like Rischiteli (sp?) is just stupid
