  1. In the IT field, consultant is a general term that means you do everything. You'll be expected to be able to do anything they ask and be on-call 24/7. Don't let that put you off, though. Go to the interview and use it for practise, if nothing else.

  2. After a few years of loyal service, my X-560 is developing some nasty fan issues. Either the fan won't spin when it should or it makes awful noises, when it does. While this unit is still under warranty, I have no back-up at all and cant have this PC out of service. Once the warranty does expire (about a year) I want to take the fan out and see if it can be lubed. I doubt it can, having previous experience with these San Ace fans.

     

    I already have a new Seasonic X-750 on the way. Strangely, this is a bit cheaper than the 660w and 650w models. I'm ready to get back folding, since I can't let this PSU get hot enough to need the fan.

  3. Right now, I have the Kingston V300 as my main/OS drive, which I would like to upgrade to a faster/larger one in a few months. My main dilemma is over whether to go with the cheap favourite Samsung 840 EVO or Intel 730. I see a lot of great things about both.

     

    Is there a quantifiable reason to choose one over the other? Any reason to avoid either? Thanks for looking!

  4. I've noticed this trend, as well. More people are going to Reddit, which has several subreddits for PCs, gaming and hardware. Their buildapc section has over 200k users. On the whole, this is positive and allows smaller forums to build a better community. Absolute beginners don't really post here now.
