Are all scsi hard drives the same?
Sounds like a stupid question so to clarify. If I buy a HP proliant server, but then buy a dell scsi harddrive will it work, and will the dell casing for it fit a HP server? Obviously scsi hard drives are of different sizes, and presumably different build quality - although I have no idea which brands are better than…

3D TV's
I'm in the market for a new TV and a few of the ones I've been looking at have 3D. I'm not particularily worried about getting one with the 3D facility but if it's included with the one I decide to get then so be it. My question is: Is there any quality loss when watching "ordinary" (non 3D) programmes on a 3D TV?
