lol no , only a fan cut into the side, its just an emachines case with new guts put in it. I got it for free because someone at work blew it up . I liked the led power button so I kept it and put a new mobo in it , bigger psu, etc etc. I cut the hole in the side of the case with a roto-zip, they make a dremel feel like a tonka toy! :yes:

I'm calling bs on that one. I have two desktops both with the same hard drive arrangement.

One has been running everyday for almost 3 years, the other a year, and not a single problem.

Computer heat isn't as much of an issue as some people make it out to be.

I knwo from seeing a friend do it, bulking hard drives together liek that can kill them, i guess if the room you are in has a cool ambient temperature and you have good airflow in your case it isnt so bad, but i know it can kill them or corrupt data, i always leave a small gap between mine, and i have a file server stacked with drives

heat is a real problem... if you're in a place with a good airflow and that your computer have a good one, that's maybe why you don't see the problem. But once your hd will fail, think about the fact that having it cooler then you do would have gave him at least 25 to 50% more life time

    • Windows Server gets DNS over HTTPS (DoH) support

      By Legend20 · Posted

      Microsoft is busy. Lots of changes to be released imminently for Windows server or soon. Also, lots happening for next version as well. Third party virus scanning software is being moved out of Kernel mode to avoid repeat of Crowdstrike incident. Windows Protected Mode and Windows Ready Print no longer require third party print drivers to be installed. New storage stack being developed. New NVME drivers now available for Windows Server 2025 to improve local NVME drive performance by 60+ percent. NVME-Of of fabric being worked on for next release to improve network access to NVME drives. ReFs (next file system) now has ability to boot and will become default file system in next release of Windows Server. ReFs improves on NTFS in several areas including resiliency and reliability and scalability. New update stack is being worked on to unify Windows updates, and updates for drivers and first party/3rd party application software. A stricter and more robust third-party driver certification program (ODI) is being worked on to improve performance, thermals, battery life, and reliability on modern Windows hardware by tightening how OEMs and IHVs (Intel, AMD, Qualcomm, NVIDIA, etc.) build and ship drivers. There is a tone more but too numerous to mention.
    • Windows 11 gets better widgets, new Screen Tint feature, and more in the latest build

      Now disable that stupid OneDrive backup request when Windows starts please. So unbelievably frustrating to only have “remind me later” instead of “no and never ask me again”

    • Microsoft releases major feature updates for stock Windows 11 apps

      Since they open sourced the calculator in Win 10/11 it is much better and can do a lot, I love it.
    • Using Windows 10 past its end of support date, is it really that bad?

      By +Edouard · Posted

      That's just silly imo. The lengths that man goes to just to avoid W11 is just nuts. Very, very few home users would do that. I will say this though, he is committed. Btw, I note on askwoody that Woody Leonhard passed away March, 2025 aged 73. His site was one of my favorites back in the day. Belated yes but RIP Woody.
