Ok

A: Why do you need a raid set up for home use?

B: Why not PCI Express?

C:The dual core wont be needes unless your running duel core enabled software, or just doing stuff like formating 3 partitions at once.

D: Why the slow DVD burner?

E: Why so much HD space? you could always just use one for back up and get rid of the raid.

Oh and how much did you pay for a SATA HDD im thinking a power load of cash.

What are the FSB of that board?

COMPUTERS ARE COOL!!!

A: Why do you need a raid set up for home use?

I run a business

B: Why not PCI Express?

I had the Vid card already. Show me a vid card that maxes out on 8x AGP

C:The dual core wont be needes unless your running duel core enabled software, or just doing stuff like formating 3 partitions at once.

I have p2p running constantly, I host an FTP Server, I run a business with Accounts/Order/scheduling software ALL the time

D: Why the slow DVD burner?

I Have a Zensonic Z500 on order. I will stream media to my Home Theatre. I Burn the odd DVD, but mostly Ripping and streaming

E: Why so much HD space? you could always just use one for back up and get rid of the raid.

Because I can . I have 24 DVD Titles on my FTP, growing daily

300Gb SATA- $215 Each.

FSB - 2000MT/s

Since when does software need to be dual CPU enabled to take advantage of Dual CPU Cores?? News to me..

You didn't ask why the fast router??????

Because I have a 24Mbit connection!!!!! And I can Download, Play online, Host my FTP - ALL AT ONCE with my dual core cpu, and not LAG OUT

Hoo daddy..

Quick B'mark of '05 coming up, then maybe a tweak here and there, And I'll see how she goes..

Water cooling anyone??

It's gonna be a late night.....................
