    Need a specific hard drive - or suggested sources

    Why do you need that exact drive? Might a similar drive have a board similar enough to work? Only the mfr. and a few people who work in data recovery might know...

    The Walmart $5.50 hookup and Evolution DVD questions.

    I have many times taken a cart with me (even though I would not need it for my purchases) to the dvd bin for the purpose of sorting through the dvds.

    Help with creating a music server

    It is my suggestion that you if you are looking at taking an older system that you add two SATA hard drives to the system and a raid card. You can have them setup mirrored which means that after you get the cd music into whatever file format you want, the system copies them over to both hard...
