I won't bite.

No plans for the time being - until I can't manage the stairs, anyway.

Now you've got me thinking about RAID 0+1, Rik. I only have 2 x 250GB hard drives, and they must be cheap as chips now. It's a shame a physically can't fit them in my case...

use the empty bay for the dvd rom drive unless you've filled it

I do the exact opposite, go for a big box with plenty of room for expansion. I have four HDs fitted, but could add another couple if needed.

yea I'm with you on the big case my problem is getting a power supply to power everything as I'm running

4 hard drives with a 1TB on the way soon
2 DVD ROM drives
and geforce 8800 oc2 over clocked that wants to be plugged in aswell

during the winter i miss the P4 i had as it used to heat my bedroom literlay

[Rik]

I reckon the computer is worth 1.5C of added heat.

lol my P4 processor used to run in the 80c range  but since the Core 2 duo its like a icy fridge dannis the witness

[Rik]

I shall check with her.

It is in comparison. His old machine was warmer than my radiators.

[Rik]

The wonderful smell of roasting processors.

Then run on smoke you know, let it out and they don't work anymore

[Rik]

That's where I've been going wrong all these years.

When I was working at CfA in Boston on an embedded electronics server, the project leader told me as I was sitting down in front of the board with serial number #1, "whatever you do, don't let the magic smoke out". It took me ages to figure out what he was on about.

I've been trying to get it in...

[Glenn]

You need to make it into a solid first

[Rik]

I have a mediocre second if that would do.
