Let me know what you think!


In all honesty, it doesn't matter what any of us thinks. It's what you value and think of yourself is most important.

Did anyone receive one of these in the mail recently from the IRS?

Is it possible that I might be getting more tax free money back from the Fed? Unreal.

Are your firewall permissions allowing you to download from the site?


How do I check my firewall permissions?


What are you using as your Firewall? Examples: Comodo, ZoneAlarm, Ashampoo, Agnitum, Kerio?

I bought it by the can full.
Don't remember the cost.
It is a very strong Cavendish, no flavored stuff for me.
Lots of people expressed that it was a nice smell.
Waitress's would tell me how it reminded them of their GRANDDAD.
Shot me down, I was just in my late 40,s

That's exactly what I'm looking for!

I smoked a pipe for years.
Sir Walter Raligh Aromatic was the tobacco of choice.
Had to have shoulder surgery, 10 yrs ago.
Woke up from anesthia & couldn't stand to smoke.
Tried for 30 days & then let it go.
Still miss my pipe, slowed me down & calmed me down.


Sir Walter Raleigh. Expensive?

Any of you out there? I'm going to make the transition from cigarettes to pipe smoking. I just got to find a good brand of pipe tobacco. Preferrably, cherry-flavored.

I've already found the pipe I want.

Any of you hardcore tobacco pipe smokers who have any good suggestions or tips you can give me would certainly be appreciated.

Wait until you come across an event in your day-to-day routine, and then it'll suddenly trigger your mind as being the meaning of that dream. It happens when you least expect it.

My case has a fan in the rear, and a fan on the side panel.
Then 1 fan on the cpu and 1 in the power supply. I figured it
had enough? Total of 4 and it sits below my desk on a lower
shelf. (no sides on the shelf, its totally open all the way around the case)

Heres a picture of something close to what I have:

No clicking so far though, thank god.



Case fans - Another strong possibility, just like KalamazooGuy had previously mentioned. Temporarily disconnect the 4-pin Molex Connectors to your case fans and see what happens.

One final possibility - Has your computer been the victim of an accidental power loss or a situation where it has crashed and your computer did not shut down properly? If so, your hard drive maybe fine, but is suffering from corrupted data sectors/partitions, causing it to work harder to compensate for it.

I'm not. :wink:

I just checked your model. It's a second generation SATA.

Whatever your interface is, whether it be by SATA card or directly into the motherboard, both need to be set at 3.0 Gigs/sec.

I'm currently using Everest Home Edition to monitor the
heat and the fans. Its showing the fan turning at 2960 rpm.
I'll give that other program a try. Thanks.

I take everything out of the case and clean it often.
I spent around $1500 in parts, so I'm not eager to do it
again anytime soon.

Shakin, I have a couple of questions:

1. What kind of SATA is it? First generation = data transfer rate = 1.5 Gigs per second or Second generation = data transfer rate = 3.0 Gigs per second.

2. Are you using a SATA card in one of your PCI slots? If so, does that card support 1.5 or 3.0 gig per second transfer rates or both?

3. If you are not using a SATA card does your motherboard support either or?

4. Most important question. Do you have your configurations set properly on both the SATA drive and SATA Card or Motherboard so that the data transfer rates match (i.e., by jumper settings)? Example: 1.5 Gig Per Second setting on SATA Drive = 1.5 Gig per second setting on motherboard or SATA card, and so forth.

***If you are not sure of question #4, I highly suggest you check that. Mismatched data transfer settings will shorten the life of your SATA drive.
