Statistically speaking, if someone asked you to tell a number between 1 and 50000 you would choose one in the middle, right? So if you're 1 or 50000, your chances are even lower

so...
every1 has the same chance of winning except those who cheat...
they have no chance as they get disqualified
QuoteIt's called C++ rand(); Quote
QuoteNaturally I entered, who could pass up on 2 TB of storage, besides, Icy Box products are darn good.Quote
I never win stuff either, but look at it this way: You've got to be in it to win it!Quote
Nah, Jim doesn't use any code, at least he didn't for the Hi7 thing, he just randomly thought of a number. Maybe this time, he could use his kid to do the picking from a jar filled with numbers!

However, in the case of Hi7 I didn't want the responsibility of picking (even be it via rand) so I passed it to Corsair for the honours
Quotegreat contest, this would get in handy Quote
QuoteI really could use this. I hope there are more contests like this. I have to say the contest brought me here and I like what I've read on the forums. Neat place.Quote

I know what I'm about to say might be off-topic but now that I think about it, 2TB worth of data doesn't sound much.
Or is it that it is being talked about so much that it just makes me bored lol.Quote

It is actually 2048 though? as "1 terabyte" drives are 1000 rather than 1024?Quote

Note for the pedantic - or 2048GB. |
1TB drives are infact 931.5GB in total. If you work it out there are 1 000 000 000 000 bytes (I think I got that right) which is equal to 1 000 000MB but due to the MB actually being slightly bigger than 1 000 000 bytes, it works out to be that number. It's something like 1 067 000 I believe. (Going off the top of my head)Quote
geeeeeek Thanks for clearing it up anyway! It made little sense, but thanks for the effortQuote
Thanks for clearing it up anyway! It made little sense, but thanks for the effortQuoteThe binary effect is the unofficial technical term referring to the discrepancy between different reported sizes for computer hard drives and other storage media. This happens because drive manufacturers measure a gigabyte as 1,000,000,000 (1 billion) bytes, while a computer measures a gigabyte as 1,073,741,824 bytes. For example, the Western Digital 500 GB SE16 has an exact size of 500,105,216,000 bytes. Although this is 500 gigabytes, in binary gigabytes this is only 465 gigabytes. This does not apply to CD-ROM media. It does, however, apply to DVD-ROM media. It also applies to hard drives, Zip disks, floppy disks, and nearly all types of flash memory.

Although this is 500 gigabytes, in binary gigabytes this is only 465 gigabytes.
As with many things on wiki, this isn't actually correct. In so much as it's explanation to how it ends as 465g. For many OSes this is because of the filesystem it's formatted to.
If u left the drive raw, or used some other formats, it would be alot bigger.
As to manufacturers being permitted to re-write the rules for kb, mb, gb, tb - yes it's a sad fact that they have been able to. For manufacturer reasons, they're now meant to be kib,mib, gib, tib - but afaic they can shove that up their arses.Quote

(Kidding, my F5 is still in working order, you can sleep easily at night now)Quote
You could just take the key off and use a pencil to push the pad down...
or rewire the keyboard so that the F5 key was something useless like F7...
This is a good call to make you all tell me the uses of the F7 key.Quote

There was a runner up compo of the Aurora comp, with as prize a free internal powdercoat. Zak won but didn't use it Quote

Because he had a POS that wasn't worth powder coating AFAIK.Quote

Awesome, just skim read the last 4 pages assuming I'd lost and looking for the winner.
Come on Jim, my breath's been baited all day. If I die, I'm haunting your ass. Well, maybe just your comp. I'll cause random crashes just before you save and make every over clock unstable. Is that what you want Jim, iis it? Because that's what will happen if you dont draw a winner soon.Quote

No 10pm draw then...my f5 is getting pretty hammered...Quote

I bet Jim is sitting in his evil armchair, stroking a white cat laughing as we all wait for the draw. He done it this morning first thing, he is just EVIL!Quote
Runner up compo...get a new f5 key?Quote
New keyboard,the p and 0 dont always work.Quote
looks like Jim has run off with the prize,cant say I blame him thoughQuote
the NAS or the lady

Quoteboth!!Quote
no winner today then . It's not Jims fault, it's Icy Box they most likely havn't come in contact with the winner, or they have picked one, which turns out to be AntiheroUK so Jim is trying to figure something out to show that Anti isn't doing anything to make him win Quote

QuoteYeah i had to do read back a few pages 'cos i thought it was a windup on a thread i just made a couple of hours ago. Its gonna benefit my mrs and my daughter a bit more than me but i'm still gratefull.
My mrs has a laptop with only 80gb of storage so it will be great for her and i have alot of videos, music and pictures myself. All i am wondering is will it act as a media server for my daughter's ps3 so she can watch her disney movies without needing to have either my pc or the other half's laptop on?Quote

My prize arrived today, it's all setup and i am copying all my documents from my computer and my other half's computer onto it so that i can free up a drive for putting a second OS. Had a look inside to see what make of drives it came with and they are Western Digital's WD1002FBYS, not the cheapest drives around either. Nice to see i'm being looked after.
Heres one more thank you very much guys and gals, especially those at Nanopoint who put the freebie up for me to win.Quote

Incase you are wondering what the duct is... It's coming from my loft where i have a blower and is attached onto my case i made at work. Since i live in Scotland its quite cold outside so my loft temperature is usually very low. I will get water cooling one day but for now that will have to do.
Time to edit my sig.Quote

Oh I love the winter cooling mod :P
I used to sit my computer by the window and open it in the winter for super temps.

Just a quick update (actually might not be that quick) now that i'v been using the NAS for about a month. Seems like i'v had it for ages now. It's a great piece of kit. It's helped me loads, more than i would have expected, not just my Mrs. She did manage to empty her laptop's 80gb drive onto it that only had 3.2gb of space left, there was 46gb in movies alone for my daughter. I'm thinking about purchasing a media server to give to my daughter so she doesnt have to go on the wife's laptop or my ps3 to watch her movies.
It's benefited me also as my friend's can send me stuff when my pc is off. One of my friends who goes to college had a usb flash drive that failed and he needed files taken to college that day, he just put his work on a folder i setup for him and got the files at college. I will be going to college soon and i'll probably have the same use as my friend instead of buying usb pen drives.
My friend is going to buy a NAS box for himself, probably the same version as he found it really useful.
I'd recommend it to anyone who is looking to buy some external storage and has some extra cash to spend rather than getting just a standard external device. The extra features the NAS has is really worth paying more in my opinion.Quote

Thanks for reporting back
It's great to know you've had so much good use out of it!
(probably more than I would have gotten out of it!)

Great to hear back from the winner Glad you like it so much.Quote
Glad you like it so much.QuoteIndeed, cheers for posting back.
I've been in need of a NAS ever since I got rid of my file server (i.e.- a long time ago..) and I'd say that this NAS seems to fit the billQuote
