Members zachoff Posted November 6, 2009 Members Share Posted November 6, 2009 It took some getting used to but after a year on Vista, I think it's way better than XP. Office 2007, OTOH... BRING BACK THE OLD MENUS!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members zachoff Posted November 6, 2009 Members Share Posted November 6, 2009 What was it?Been running for months and still no problems here. Do you use IIS7 at all? I'm told it's way different and that kind of scares me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members t3ch Posted November 6, 2009 Members Share Posted November 6, 2009 Do you use IIS7 at all? I'm told it's way different and that kind of scares me.No reason for me to have IIS on this machine, though I'm sure I'll find out at work if there are any issues.Having a major rollout next week, all of which are going to be running 7. These are developers (read: the people who normally break {censored} ), so ask again in a bit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members W33nie Posted November 7, 2009 Members Share Posted November 7, 2009 That's a genius idea, the way the hard drive mount on the case. Why aren't ALL cases made like that? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members W33nie Posted November 7, 2009 Members Share Posted November 7, 2009 They're not? No, you have to load them in from the side, and the cables and motherboard get in the way. This makes so much more sense.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members MrJoshua Posted November 7, 2009 Members Share Posted November 7, 2009 No, you have to load them in from the side, and the cables and motherboard get in the way. This makes so much more sense....Lots of cases are made like the one in the picture now - the last several that I've bought have all had hard drive mounts in that configuration, except for the latest one, which still points the connections out to the side like that but the hard drives are mounted on their sides.I just built an i5 machine with Windows 7 64-bit. No problems so far, except that for some reason the picture doesn't fill up the entire monitor (a Visio 47-inch 1080p LCD) and I can't seem to find any settings to expand the picture to fill the whole screen. It leaves about an inch of black screen around the image. Annoying, but I'm sure I'll figure it out eventually. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members fretless Posted November 7, 2009 Author Members Share Posted November 7, 2009 that sounds like your video card ^ , The cases are all mostly like that these days , and they have a "screwless" design , so the drives snap in and out quickly .http://www.rosewill.com/products/410/series.htm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

"Lots" sure, but not as many as you'd think. It's such an obvious, and better, design that you'd think more would be like it. Alas, no. It took me forever to find a case I could be satisfied with.
