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?

(heat issues)

    • Well I've done a grand total of nothing, and it now clocks between 2010mhz and 1995mhz (stock is 1710mhz) and hovers around 80c, warmer than it used to, but tolerable clocks seem to have returned. Thanks for all the advice on this thread. Will review the evidence and make a choice.

    • I really wonder if this has to do with the built in VPN or "private DNS" of browsers that trip up legal requirements like cookie consent and Cloudflare (to avoid all the botnet attacks we get). And BTW some botnets still manage to get past Cloudflare, we are constantly having to tweak it to block malicious traffic that ultimately cause a DDoS.
