Some things I saw wrong with it, I'm not being anal about it either I just figured you wanted to know if there was anything wrong with it, you can delete my post after if you want:
1st page has 4 breaks between the the text and the pictures 2nd page has 8 breaks? between the text and the pictures 3rd page has 5 breaks between the text and the pictures along with no period after the last word of the 1st paragraphical blurb Other than that is is a VERY good review, only dropped the HD by 3 degrees but any little bit helps --------------------  CASE: Antec P182 CPU: Xeon X3220MEMORY: 4GB DDR2 GPU: XFX 8800GTS (Alpha Dog Edition) + Gigabyte 8800GT for physx MOBO: Gigabyte GA-X48-DQ6 PSU: Antec EA500 LCD: 20" Acer Widescreen OS: Windows XP - Use the following link to access the Official Overclockersclub Chat Room: OCC CHAT (be sure to set you browsers irc handler to your standalone IRC client) |

I'm pretty sure he's talking about the varrying "white space" between sections paragraphs and pictures inthe review.
 EDIT: On another note. You might want to read over Google's findings (PDF) about HDD temps vs life span. It's alot of stuff to read but in short there is less correlation between the drive's temperature fail rate than you might think, and drives that were cooled excessively actually failed more often than those running a little hot. --------------------  My FoldingQ6600 @3.6+/EVGA 122-CK-NF68-T1/8GB PC2-8000/1TB 7200.11/500GB 7200.11/GTX 260 SLI/Silverstone OP650(Main rig) Phenom 9550 X4 @ 2.5/Crosshair II Formula/2GB Ballistix PC2-6400/250GB/3x9600GSO/CMPSU-650TX (F@H Rig) Opteron 165 @2.7+ghz/EPoX EP-9NPA+Ultra/2GB G.Skill PC3200(2x1GB)/320GBx2 RAID 1/500GBx2 RAID 1/40GBx2/8800GT/500w (server) E8400 @4.0+/GA-EP45-UD3P/2GB Ballistix PC2-5300/250GB/4870 512MB/500w (work rig) T9300 2.5/4GB PC2-5300/2x320GB RAID 0/8800M GTS 512MB (Laptop, Gateway P-6860FX) T6400 2.0/4GB PC2-6400/250GB/9300M 512MB (Laptop, ASUS X83V) Atom 330/D945GCLF2/2GB PC2-5300 KVR/160GB/90w picoPSU |

Ya I know that I moved them already.
See those banners on the right those cause the spaces I have moved them out if I move the pics up to close they make the rest off centered.

The spaces dont really bother me, but at the same time that inner web designer guy just keeps poking things making me think...that's bad. Of course the lazy part of me just hits that other guy in the head with a brick and we leave it how it is, but that's another story for another day

It's alot of stuff to read but in short there is less correlation between the drive's temperature fail rate than you might think, and drives that were cooled excessively actually failed more often than those running a little hot. Yep. Keeping the temperatures consistent and minimizing spinups seemed to be the best way to keep drives running for a long period of time. I've been setting the drives in every computer I own to never spin down and have had very good luck with them. SMART reports all the drives are in excellent shape even after a few years of heavy duty use. My laptop is the only one set to spin down. -------------------- Desktop: | Q6600 @ 3.2 GHz | 128 GB GSkill Falcon | 8 GB WinTec AmpX | Sapphire 4870 X2 | DFI P35-T2RL | PCP&C Silencer 610 | W7 x64 | HTPC: | X3 720 BE @ 3.4 GHz | 4.5 TB Storage | 8 GB GeIL Black Dragon | PowerColor 4830 | ECS A-780GM-A | ATI Theater 650 Pro | OCZ Fatal1ty 550 | W7 x64 | Router/VPN/Compiling: | Opteron 175 | 4 GB DDR 500 | S3 Trio PCI VGA | Asus A8N-SLI SE | SinTek 500SLI | XP Pro | Office: | Dell Precision 390 | Core 2 Duo E6320 | 2 GB DDR2 667 | XFX 7800GT | Fedora 10 / Windows 7 RC | NetBook: | Asus EeePC 900A | 1.6 GHz Atom | 32 GB SSD | 2 GB DDR2 667 | Intel Integrated | W7 x86 | |

my thoughts exactly. (thanks cchalogamer for the link to the hdd temps vs life span. should be a good read.) but i would def think that the heat cycling the drives would be more detrimental to lifespan than higher temps.
