I love this keyboard. I got it for $30CAN from Future Shop a few weeks ago and it kicks ass.

Shaidar, I was looking at your gallery. How do you have 5 hard drives connected at once? Are they SATA? Is there a way to have more 3 or more IDE hard drives. (perferably 4 or more, because I want at least one optical drive). How are yours set up?

^ yeah some mobos have sata ports and built in RAID controllers (mine can have up to 10 drives) , but you can buy PCI ide controllers to have extra drives..

Yeah, I have one somewhere. I used it for that exact same thing on my old rig. It really is useful, turning a dead and wasted PCI into two IDE's... You can have some fun, but don't forgte the power sonsequences...

Are you talking about this photo ? http://gallery.damn.be/selder/DSC00092

The upper HDD is connected with PATA on a the second IDE channel of my Motherboard

The 2 in the middle are connected with PATA on the Promise controller om my Mobo, and the lower 2 are connected to the Intel Raid controller via SATA ...

So, yes, indeed, multiple IDE controllers :)

My motherboard is a Asus P4C800-e Deluxe (it's the deluxe who comes with all these connections...)

See my specs here : http://www.damn.be/specs.php

And power is no problem, a Enermax 460Watt here :D

Is it safe to have harddrives like that?

    • Hello, Christian Maas' XVI32 is a nice (and very small) hex editor. Speaking of hex editors, many years ago a colleague and I who both worked at Tribal Voice managed to edit a copy of the company's PowWow instant messaging client to make it behave better now that all of its lookup servers and other server-side tech was gone.  The program didn't support NAT (RFC-3022 was introduced in January 2001, the same time Tribal Voice was shuttered), but it still worked okay if you manually set up port-forwarding on your router.  The server at http://powwow.jazy.net/ hosts a copy (usual warnings about downloading and running untrusted code from random internet servers apply). I occasionally use some tools like Funduc Software's Search and Replace and Application Mover when I need to make mass-edits to text-based files or move programs with a hard-coded installation directories, respectively.  When I need to figure out the exact LCD panel inside of a laptop, EnTech Taiwan's Monitor Asset Manager is my go-to tool for that purpose. JD Design's website (now hosted on github.io) has a number of interesting freeware and shareware utilities.  I used to use their TouchPro utility to set the file timestamps on software I was mastering to match its version number (e.g., version 3.00 of a program had all of its files dates set to 3:00AM, and so forth). Karenware has a number of interesting freeware utilities, too. Regards, Aryeh Goretsky  
    • I still use HexChat! Not really as ancient as the 1994 AutoCAD above my post, but I have never found anything better to replace it. Yes we still operate an IRC server https://www.neowin.net/irc/ 😛 
    • At work we still have a couple of people that use a version of AutoCAD LT purchased in 1994. This predates Windows 95 and works fine on versions of Windows up to XP. Its long since run in an locked down isolated XP VM, accessible via RDP. I did install LibreCAD for them, however they said it was just too different to get to grips with. In all fairness one of them is now 75 and the other is almost 60.

    • Anyway to download these versions without being on the Experimental builds?
