    Just ordered an EPOX EP-9NPA+ with 2 1GB sticks of DDR400

    How'd this work out for you? I just bought the guts for a rig based around the Epox 9NPA+Ultra and I'm ready to build it as soon as I get home. The one thing I notice is that the manual says Dual Channel is only supported in "128/256/512 mb technologies". I, like you, am planning to do dual...

    Building an external multi-HD case?

    A quick bit of research brings me to cooldrives.com which apparently sells those units. They come with raid and all that fun stuff. Unfortunately, it looks like it'd be $120 for a 2-drive setup and $250 for 4 drives. They're probably worth the price, but it might be overkill for me.

I considered the USB route, but I'd be worried about the performance hit when moving data between...

    Building an external multi-HD case?

    I have way too many (6) small HDs in my case right now (60 - 160gb). I know I could replace them with 2 or 3 big drives, but I really like the flexibility of many drives for increasing speed during read/write operations. Anyway, I'd like to build a small case to hold all of my HDs which will...
