    RAID 1 question

    While its a good idea to use identical drives so that performance is matched, there shouldn't be a problem with drives from different manufacturers.

    YANBT (Yet Another Noobie Build Thread)

    Looks good, but there's room for improvement. You could consider buying faster RAM, the Corsair XMS 1GB kit for example.

    dvd drives

    Aopen makes the fastest DVD-ROMs around, they are a must buy if you can find them. I believe the model was the AAP 1648. You could also look for the slot load Pioneer. When it comes to burners, you cant go wrong with NEC, get the 3520 or 3540.

    Ram or CPU

    I voted for option 1, since there isnt a wide performance gap between a 3200 and a 3500. Unless you have special needs, 1 gig should be more than what is needed though.

    Please help me monitor hard disk temperature

    Not sure where you're from, but I've seen and used computers where the ambient temperature is 38~40 degrees celsius - with no AC and no problems. You should be fine as long as your case temperatures aren't ridiculously high.

    Bad to walk around with a laptop on?

    No hard drive likes being 'tapped' while it is running. You could walk around with the laptop as long as you ensure that it does not get get bumped around while switched on. Being upside down shouldn't be an issue.

    Hard drive configurations for my HTPC

    I'd return the Raptor and buy another 250gb drive now for the RAID array (doesn't your mobo have it onboard?) - this is if having RAID matters. You can partition the 160 GB to create a 20gb OS/pagefile partition, and store shows on the remaining ~140gb, and on the array as well.
