Hey bro you should do a video on all the stuff you are going to review and all the stuff thats on the way, your know to get your subscribers something to look forward too.

I must say I've started to like your reviews more and more, it also seems like some major companies are really taking notice as well!

[SirJamesDTech]

@vearheart42 I like to keep the suspense open. Also, remember that the video after the review I will be announcing details for the next SirJamesDTech Giveaway

[Kr4zi4ur0mg]

The manual is huge , no questions asked. lol

As I said before , you smile too much! lol makes me think you're going to do something weird or out of the ordinary lol.

[SirJamesDTech]

@Kr4zi4ur0mg I'm not so sure it would be appropriate to frown during the introduction to one's video :-)

@SirJamesDTech what happend to ur haf x ?

[SirJamesDTech]

@dragonlongrocks On eBay as we speak. Check out the link on my SirJamesDTech Channel. Didn't move as much air as I believed, I greatly prefer the 800D's hot swap bays, and that CPU backplate cutout being so small meant I'd have to remove the motherboard for every heatsink transfer I've got coming up.

No thanks.

I have 2 systems at work with these and seagate constellations hdd's arecas with 4gbs of ram and. One is set to speed up sequential read while second to random. And the best is: 12 hdds in raid 6 with hot spare is yelding 1950mb/s write. 1560mb/s read with data file to 3gb and above 5gigs while cache is filled it writes reads 800,s. But you can play with so many controller settings. i like it a lot

[zoup2nutz]

I have a question for you. Did you order that RAID card because your motherboard does not offer RAID configuration? Why would one need a RAID card?

[zoup2nutz]

I believe it's pronounced "sade-uh", not "sat-uh".

[kevinbrian14]

why did you change your case from haf x?

[izzani85]

Hi, can you help me do benchmark with 8 x Constellation 6Gbps SAS 7.2K

[SirGomez81]

Trying to work in your clever Spanish in this video?

[vearheart42]

@StealthGhost TN panels are still good, IPS is only really useful if your making money because of that screen, IE Photography/ Editing.

TN panels still offer great response times and fairly good picture quality, they also can be had at 120hz which is good for gaming due to your V-sync at 120 fps.

[Bob8673]

Do you know anything about raid controllers. Like which brands are good and best price to performance options.

[StealthGhost]

Just watched a few of your videos, what happened to the Samsung 305T you had?

I'm building a completely new computer soon, maybe waiting for the sandy bridge release, but I was thinking about going IPS instead of TN. Wonder if you have any input on IPS vs TN.
