Comment by Leo Nguyen on October 31, 2013 at 3:42pm: You got it Dick. Not 3TB for the same price? I'm looking at the WD 4TB Red. Need a heck of a lot more space for the winter season, since wifey wants to hit the slopes.

Comment by dick tabbert on October 31, 2013 at 3:21pm: Keep me in mind for the 2TB Leo

Comment by Leo Nguyen on October 31, 2013 at 12:10pm: Forget it! Make it as your last day of rebate!! Get it while it's still hot. If you miss this, there are a few more 1TB and 2TB in the horizon next month during cyber Black Friday.

Comment by Leo Nguyen on October 31, 2013 at 12:08pm: For those who are looking to expand your internal system's storage, the hard drive, NOT the memory RAM, there's a nice sale coming up:

Seagate 1TB hard drive, 7200RPM at 6Gbps, with 64MB of cache

* $39!!! After rebate and free shipping folks!!

Comment by Leo Nguyen on October 20, 2013 at 4:28pm: LOL. Yep. sure do. I actually trying to fix my own issues at home as well, similar to Dick dust bunny. Did my 4th month cleaning, and let just say, the dust bunnies were larger than the previous ones. The system got a bit of a heat issue, and I have to purchase more thermal grease to increase thermal exchange. Imagine my system is running on TWO Xeon CPU (two simultaneous brains), and require cooling units that are the sizes of PC speakers. Imagine the dust collection on that..LOL
