Why was everyone so quick to discard this? It's perfectly possible it just comes with several large headaches built in (my knowledge is more of the XP way but I'm fairly sure it has been made possible with Vista):
1. You need a proper pre-configured Windows installer. Where all the settings are pre-set and other software can automatically be installed at the same time, these are quite complicated to set-up.
2. Things like the network need be set-up using a LiveCD normally BartPE (I'm not sure what they call the Vista version) which obviously means yes you do need a ODD defying the point in what I'm saying
3. Did I mention you need a several thousand pound MS remote install license?
4. It takes it's time. Unless of course your using fibre-optics which is more then a little bit rare in end-user PC's
I'm now going to disengage IT technician mode.
I could put something funny here but I cant be arsed. Now GO AWAY! This message has been edited since posting. Last time this message was edited on 23. August 2009 @ 08:03

Over network I agree with Keith1993. Also there are many guides out there for installing Vista or Win7 from USB stick as long as your BIOS lets you boot from USB...

haha I have one DVD burner in each PC. All Lite-Ons. And I use them maybe once a month for the odd DVD or whatnot. Like Sam 99% of my stuff is on my drives. Currently 3TB of total space not counting countless 4GB+ flash drives and my large collection of hard copy games. I might be throwing another 1TB Greenpower in my server/Intel quad rig soon though. My internet may be slow but it DOES fill a drive quickly enough :P

P35C-DS3R and EP31-DS3L boards manning PCI S-ATA cards perfectly fine, my X38-DS4 had no issue either, this is with JMicron cards.
What's that shaff? Your PS3 broken, with both our 360s still working fine? There's a turnup for the books! lmao!
Gm: Green drives are awesome, no more to it. They've recently price dropped AGAIN in the Uk now, £55 for 1TB. As for the Asus thing, just do some more reading, it isn't difficult to figure out.

keith1993,
As near as I can remember they use a Command Line installer for multiple network installs, at least they used to. And yes, it is a pain, and very complicated to do, as all the parameters have to be perfect for each station! You basically write what amounts to a config file that tells each station exactly what to install, sets up privileges, passwords and so on. It's a lot of work! I found that by using batch files, you don't have to constantly enter the same thing over and over for each station! You just had to enter the workstation IDs! I haven't done one in about 6 years now! My last experience was a bad one, as the Owner of the Car Insurance Company I did it for, was a Total Moron! Fortunately, I put everything in writing, and She signed it! In the agreement, I outlined what I could and couldn't save from her hard drive, why, and what options she had available if she wanted to try Data Recovery from the HDD! She was fine with all of that until she discovered that she no longer had her DMV records listings, when I brought the system back up. I still don't understand that, as it was the first item on the list of things I could not recover. The file was corrupt! I wouldn't have installed it anyway, as unauthorized possession of the State of California DMV database is illegal, and a Felony! She actually wanted to sue me for the $2000 it cost her to replace it! LOL!! That was enough experience for me! I don't go near networks anymore! LOL!! Besides there's usually just too much pressure, as they almost always want you to do anything between 5 PM Friday and 8 AM Monday morning only! LOL!!
Best Regards,
Russ

My vacation is drawing to a close and I'm starting some new classes at school tomorrow. My first batch of courses was for my official CompTIA A+ Certification which I now have. This allows me to be professionally employed in PC maintenance :D
New batch of courses will be for my degree which will be a Technical degree in IT Networking/Systems Analysis. Very excited because I'm taking Computer Science this semester so I should learn quite a few new things. Who knows maybe I'll become AD's resident egghead :P

Will,
Let me get this right! You want to buy a PSU from an Iranian company, located in Tehran, Iran??? A bit shaky situation, don't you think? I guess Customer Service could get quite lively at times! Call back on Tuesday, we were bombed on Friday! ROFL!!

Most of those links lead back to green-case.com.
I wonder if and when their PSU's will be more known/available. October 2009 doesn't say much. WHERE would be a valuable little tidbit LOL!

Oman7,
It appears that they don't manufacture anything. They are a Wholesaler! The cases they sell are made by mostly no name companies, but there were several there from Sunbeam/Tuniq and LianLi. Rather interesting mish-mash of cases though. Some of them outright strange in the mid tower cases! Judging by the adds running on the borders, I would say they don't do business here yet. I can't find any reviews at all. The only sales show up under Amazon as they sell anything even though most of the time they never have what you want! LOL!!
A company called SevenTeam makes their PSUs. I looked on newegg and I'm not very impressed with the little I can see!
http://www.newegg.com/Product/ProductLis...&name=Seventeam
Here's a SevenTeam 750W PSU stripped down. $130 price tag! Not bad at all! Looks can be deceiving!
