This. Honestly, just get a CM Master Force 500 case, slap your drives in and be done. At 3.6k it's a great option.

Yup even I completed Alan Wake back in 2010. I replayed the Remastered edition of it again end of last year before playing Alan Wake 2. :)

Like I said it's not getting detected at all. I have given up on the HDD. It's just a coaster now. Thankfully all data was backed (as I always maintain a 1:1 mirror of every HDD I have data on) so I was covered.

I tested the HDD again today by placing it in the HDD dock. Now there is no sound of a USB device connecting at all after I turn the HDD dock ON with the drive in it. Of course the HDD does not get detected on my PC. When I placed my hand on the HDD I could feel it is spinning inside though.

Had a similar issue years back on my gaming rig. PSU was the culprit. I would suggest again connecting your spare PSU and running PUBG and RDR2 for at least 2-3 days and playing it for a an hour long session each time you sit to game to see if the issue kicks in as well with the spare PSU...

Love Lies Bleeding (2024) - 6.5/10 I just can't get Katy O'Brian out of my head after watching this. What a powerful performance from her. This was like watching a modern amped up version of Thelma & Louise with a bizarrely cathartic ending... only it somehow leaves me with a feeling that the...

Started Sugar. Picked it up because of Collin Farrell. First episode was good...solid acting by Farrell. Show seems to have a slow burning noir mystery story and I'm hoping it doesn't get boring.

Took a chance and gave this a watch: Lootere (2024) I mainly picked it up because it had Rajat Kapoor. Show in spite of having loopholes isn't half bad. Acting from the cast is decent and story kept things interesting. I would have liked the show to have come to an end like a mini-series but...

Unfortunately I don't think it's available anymore.

Sarkar (2005) - 8/10 Sarkar Raaj (2008) - 7/10 Late Night With The Devil (2023) - 6/10

I found the final episode of Shogun rather underwhelming but I'm pretty sure it could be just me. I was expecting more... swords and flying cannons! However, having said that... I will watch the old Shogun show from 1980 once though for comparison. It has Richard Chamberlain as the Anjin.

Believe it or not I actually like the way that compact Dell SFF case looks with the attached Drives on top. Looks like a very cool ghetto NAS rig! That being said a couple of good options for a NAS build I can suggest are a Corsair Obsidian 750D or a Corsair 780t (hoping that you don't mind a...

Got a fairly big Teak Driftwood piece for my a 25 Gallon aquarium I'll be setting up. Currently soaking it in hot water (changing twice a day) for the tannin to leach out. It weighs about 2-2.5kgs when wet: Will set it for a normal water (not hot) soak tonight and add liquid Bleach to it...

So, did the Saccharine present in the cake cause the young girl's blood sugar level to spike so high that it killed her?

What Jennifer Did - 8/10 I have a particular interest on crime documentaries so had to pick this one up. This is a well made documentary about Jennifer Pan's case from 2010. I first came to know of this incident through watching an episode of Deadly Women in 2017 and then watched her...
