Except there aren't many large forums switching from vBulletin to FuseTalk as far as I can tell.

If you have the opportunity, would you work at FuseTalk. Beyond the question of being able to charge thousands for what others give away (or charge a few hundreds for), I'm hoping people here might have some direct experience with the company.

Agreed. Redonkulous.

I firmly believe that if you want "reliable" storage, you need to think "not in my house". There's a ton of things that can go wrong even in a NAS with redundancy - the most likely being that you realize something is wrong when its too late. You should at least be _looking_ at online...

Win7 detects the SSD and adjusts settings accordingly. These are things you can do yourself, like disabling defrag and the likes. There are tools that help you do this, like SSD Tweaker (never used it, just heard about it). I believe the Agility doesn't work well with ACHI, but that might be...

I'm going to list two (deal with it). By far, my #1 would be high speed internet (dsl or cable). We went from text-based BBS (LORD!!) and mud games, to youtube and WoW. The other one has to be SSDs. The technology is in its infancy buts its still orders of magnitude faster than its...

i can't imagine spending $1500USD on a new computer and not making an SSD part of the build.

In Canada its ncix hands down - good prices, large selection, decent shipping, and price matching. They have a US sales/site as well, but it doesn't seem as good for Americans as their main site is for Canadians.

Sorry, when I said "doesn't scale" I meant "doesn't scale as well as other solutions with respect to cost" and then went on to explain the hard drive cost of duplication and how that proved to be a limiting factor for me (to the point where building a replacement my machine was actually cheaper...

I agree that you should just build your own and put whatever OS you want. I recently built an Unraid server after using WHS since its first availability (I bought an HP EX470 when they first became available). I much prefer Unraid over WHS for the simple fact that it scales much better. WHS...

Pretty sure that MB supports SLI. Do you ever plan on running 2 NVidia cards in there? If not, you can probably shave off ~$15 or so by getting a non-sli supporting mobo from whichever manufacturer you fancy.

If you aren't going to use SLI, you can find a cheaper motherboard that has the other features (from gigabyte or others).

To be clear, monitor, keyboard, dvd drive, mouse and speakers aren't needed? What country? US? (hitting 800 should be pretty easy, btw)

Exactly..by the time you need it, you'll either find it for less, or have better options available for the same money. Waiting, in this case, is a win-win.

80gb intel g2 ssd with a 1TB caviar black. 6gb ram. You should consider a better backup alternative to Raid 1 (mirroring) if that was your thoughts with respect to the mirroring comment.
