    Can You Profit From a Mail Order Help Line?
    A lot of people are constantly thinking about starting their own business. A large majority of these people will choose mail order because of its intrinsic advantages. Newcomers to the mail order industry normally ask the same types of questions. Who can help us? Someone, somewhere has to help a newcomer in mail order to become successful. It's
    mount a standard 1/2" bracket available from your local hardware store. The bracket must fit one machine screw to mount to the rear of the hard drive, and it must also fit a screw capable of mounting the fan. I have been able to do it using the standard screws although you may need a matching nut & bolt for your fan depending on your bracket
    Annoying Government Regulations For The Fitness Enthusiast
    For those of you who don't know, Malaysia has very, VERY tight regulations on sports supplements and you are unable to purchase most of the new stuff that hit the shelves overseas here in Malaysia. Maybe the US FDA is not good enough for some doctor that bums in the government office I suppose? I'm not talking about steroids or anything illegal here.Not
    I have purchased almost every hard drive cooling device on the market, some costing as much as $50 or more. I have systems that place fans in front of the drive that suck air from the outside, and fans that mount underneath. The problem with these setups are that they tend to be expensive, the airflow tends to be quite low, and in general they just don't cool down the drives by more than 1 - 5 degrees. I even own one that claims an 80cfm airflow. But alas I was never satisfied with any of these cooling methods.

    For over a year now I have been able to achieve a 10 - 15 degree Celsius temperature drop on my hard drives simply by using a 10 cent bracket from a local hardware store.

    - 1/2" bracket
    - 80mm fan
    - 3.5" hard drive

    I use 3 hard drives in every one of my 20 servers, 2 running as a RAID-1 and the third as a spare in case the raid goes down. I use a mounted cooling fan blowing directly onto the circuit board of every drive, using an 80mm fan, with the air blowing in the direction of the drive surface. Any speed fan will have a dramatic affect on cooling. Please note that in some cases I suspected that the drive temperature was not being reported properly, as some drives showed no change in temperature via software but were clearly cooler to the touch.

    What is SEO and What Can It Do? How to Drive Traffic to Your Website for Free!
    One of the things I've learned over the years, while using the internet, was web design. I learned a lot about designing websites including HTML code and writing scripts. One of the things I neglected to learn, however, was SEO (Search Engine Optimization).I rarely saw this as an important factor in creating a website, mainly because I didn't understand

    Opening A Dollar Store - Watch Out For Sales Changes!
    Being an entrepreneur includes many challenges. Opening a dollar store is no exception.

    Using Your Online Presence to Drive Offline Sales from Your Customer Base and Beyond, Part 1
    Do you own a traditional business with a physical location? Do you have an online presence to go along with it? If so, your website can serve dual purposes for your business: it can be an additional source for your customers to shop and buy your products and services, or it can simply act as a supporting branch of your brick-and-mortar location.

    Before removing your drive and fan, make sure you get a test reading of the temperature reported by your hard drive, if your drive supports it.

    Mount the fan to the bracket as shown above. Make sure you mount it with the airflow arrow directed to the drive. Also ensure that the power cable for the fan is mounted at the back end of your setup. A second bracket can optionally be used on the other side of the fan, but keep in mind that in some cases you may have a slight warping effect on your fan if the holes do not line up accurately enough.

    After mounting the bracket to the fan, mount it to one of the rear screw holes on the drive. Mount it on the side facing your open case panel if you want to be able to replace the fan without removing the drive.

    Connect all the power cables and take a sampling of your temperature sensor on your hard drive, using tools such as SMART software. You should notice a dramatic change in temperature such that other cooling methods will no longer be necessary.
