MrDudeMan! You outted me! Heh ... So yeah ... in terms of Raid1 ... I might just stick with that ... my wife would kill me if her stuff was lost. Unless there is a more effective way to backup data. Should I go with RAID 0 on two 320's for OS and games or just stick with a raptor? RAM...

Thanks for the feedback. I really respect your opinions and want to hear more. I'm going to reply in the order Ichigo listed the items. 1. Hmm ... perhaps I should cut down to a simple 7.1 soundcard ... i.e. Creative Sound Blaster X-Fi XtremeGamer 7.1 Channels 24-bit 96KHz PCI Interface...

Hi guys, I did this once four years ago and the feedback I received from this forum and several others was priceless. So priceless that the two rigs I built still hold their own and have had almost no problems at all. But the time has come for me to bite the bullet and build another rig...

I <3 Intel ... thanks for the INEVITABLE AMD jab though! ;) No AMD for me ... my wife says AMD is the devil. I think I may ditch the Audigy 2 platinum ... will save me $100 when building 2 systems. Any other deals or opinions on reducing cost on this rig without sacrificing its ability to PWN?

Oh ... and am I going to need to buy 2 copies of XP pro or am I able/allowed to use one copy on two PC's? A friend of mine was saying that he uses Windows 2000 because it doesn't have the pain of having to call MS every time you change hardware to get a validation code or some such thing...

Hey guys, I've been reading these forums for some time and am finally putting some of my research to use. I'm building two computers, one for myself and one for my wife. (We bought two back in the day when I used to be a regular EQ addict and she couldn't pry me away from the PC) Anyhow...
