I have a 1TB hard drive which initially showed approx 931 GB free space. I understand that is because of SI units and computer allocation size being different. However, when i selected all visible files the size showed 770 GB used. However Windows 7 showed approx 90 GB free space, i.e., 840 GB has been used. A total error of nearly 70 GB! So I opened the HDD in Ubuntu and saw a folder named $RECYCLE.BIN with a whopping size of 66 GB! Apparently, it was hidden in Windows 7.

My question is: Is it safe to delete the folder named $RECYCLE.BIN from the external HDD?

Also please tell me why/why not to delete, what function it serves and why it is so large.

I would like to start a blog with video game reviews and perhaps movie reviews.

So is it essential to take legal permission from the publishers/developers/production house before posting a review online?

Note that the review may include information on copyrighted technology such as game engines etc.

Also do I need permissions if I include links to other gaming websites on my blog?

HAF 912 Advanced : INR 7500

CM 690 II Advanced : INR 6300

Which chassis is more value-for-money?

Looks-wise, cooling-wise and size-wise I would prefer the 912 but I will also have to purchase a blue LED 200mm fan worth INR 1000 as my motheboard and RAM are black and blue.

What is the maximum length of graphic card supported by 912? My graphic card is about 272mm long. Will I have to remove the 3.5" HDD cage in the 912 to fit in my Graphic card?

Will that matter as I am planning to use a 2.5" SSD and a 3.5" HDD? Will there be no space to keep the HDD if remove that cage?

Sorry if my questions sound stupid but this is my first system.

Is it worth upgrading the Galaxy S II worth upgrading to Android 4.0.3 Ice Cream Sandwich as I have heard that ICS is buggy and lags a lot on the S II. Also I have read that TouchWiz spoils the whole experience of ICS.

I was planning to download some PSN games like Journey, Flower and Joe Danger.

I have set up a network with my Asus RT-G32 router with WPA2-Personal key.

I have also connected the DSL cable to the WAN port of the router. However, I am not able to access the internet through it from my laptop and smartphone.

If I connect the same cable to my desktop and enter the username and password given by my service provider, I am able to access the internet.

Where am I supposed to enter that username and password if I connect to the internet using the router?

How do I connect to the router to the internet?

I have a MSI GeForce GTX 560 Ti 1GB 832MHz graphic card.

Corsair Vengeance 8GB RAM 1600MHz.

Intel i5-3570K 3.4GHz. (Will overclock soon to about 4.2GHz with Corsair H60)

I will be playing Crysis 2 at 1080p resolution at Ultra settings.

Is getting the DX11 upgrade for Crysis 2 worth it? Will it run smoothly (30fps+)? How about High res textures pack? And Maldo HD 3.0 textures mod?

Please rate my probable PC configuration. I will be playing the latest games like Crysis 2, Max Payne 3 at 1080p resolution. Is it possible to run them at best possible graphical settings? Also let me know any alternative components if they offer better VFM. Is there will be any compatibility issues then please let me know.
