So they took the trouble to plug in the power/data leads but...

You would think they would notice that when shooting the pictures, but I guess not.

Hahaha cyber and ibuypower have some real horror stories associated with them so this is not shocking

ROFL!!

Maybe having the hard drive installed at an angle helps improve the drive speed

Ok....you have to be kidding me.....REALLY! You mean you guys don't know that the angle of the drive was designed by HP to keep the dust from settling on the HD, and preventing heat buildup. The dust just slides off, the swirling wind currents inside the case then swoop up the dust, out the back it goes...up the space between the back of the desk and wall....up over the top of the monitor.....and rite into the users coffee..

The End

Now why did you have to say designed by HP...now I can't figure out if its a joke or if its really one of their ideas

Yes, I see, good point...

:Actually with the hard drive at an angle all the data pools towards that side of the hard drive. (cuz data is heavier than empty space). So it will acess the files quicker because they are all together

There just...yeah, there ain't no excuse for that. Between the fool who put it together, the photographer, the GA, etc., nobody in the line caught that?


Maybe it's a new spill-resistant design. You know, so when you spill your coffee on top of the tower and the side just happens to be open, it all kinda runs off to the left edge of the drive..? No? Ah damn, I tried.

Finally I know why older pc's are heavier than brand new ones, it's all that data accumulated thru years and years running.
I'll put that quote up on the display window, making an argument for spring cleaning older pc's.
Joking aside, I have seen some instances where if you lean a drive to a particular angle, it spins just about right, mostly on older drives that were failing.

It is like a slide the higher the angle the faster it rides

I can't stop laughing

All that hard work to make it look so nice inside (plus the cool looking case), but put the hard drive in wrong.

 

[Digital Sage]

Unbelievable! How can nobody involved in the process - from builder to publisher - not notice that?
