Smoke Posted August 20, 2006 Report Share Posted August 20, 2006 Guess you won the lottery. My $1200+862 (original) WIP seems......not so great. I'm saving up for a multi-terabyte server not....actually a couple. A web services server, file server, backup server, and maybe if I'm lucky a rendering/encoding server.

And those should obviously be in a raid as well; it would be a shame to connect 2TB in any other way.I hope the "16x Dual Layer Drive" is a Plextor 760A.

shkbobo Posted August 24, 2006 Report Share Posted August 24, 2006 Exactly! lolThe only thing is the quad sli that those system builders have over us, but there have been drivers that came out for the GX2 (buggy but they work) to make it quad - soon there'll be more.
