Doesn't surprise me. Guess I will just keep my case and let my 2 of my drives sit on top of each other in the empty 5.25 bay lol. They won't fit in the regular 3.5 bays due to the stupid SATA connections/cables. Question, is there a problem running RAID on my motherboard with 2 drives on SATA3...

Would this not show the failed drive? It says it has indicators. http://www.icydock.com/goods.php?id=50 I see the print under it, not sure if my motherboard provides hard drive fail signal via voltage pin though.

Yeah I just worry about failed drives and figuring out which drive failed. I just plan to RAID my drives in BIOS and leave it at that. Is there a easy way to find out which drive failed by using BIOS RAID? I guess it just wouldn't show up? Also, just the ease of access when removing drives in...

Looking at getting these: Hot-swap bay http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16817994027 New case http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16811119233 Case is decent since I can remove the HD tray and allow more space. (Getting access to the SATA ports SUCK with them there) May go a...

I am rebuilding my old media server that was running Open Indiana. I am only going to have 4 2TB drives in this machine. I am looking for a case that already has hot swappable drive bays or buying a case and 5.25 to 3.5 hot swappable bay trays. Prefer not to spend a ton of money if at all...

Just pricing wise. They are still in their own boxes.

Spent more than I would have liked, but bought the following parts.

Yeah I believe the person who suggested the Laing D5 was referring to the MCP655.

CPU: 4690K Video card: R9 280 3B Case: Corsair 750D I have been told Swiftech pumps are preferred. Laing D5 was recommended in another forum. Alphacool UT60 360 radiator was recommended for the top of my 750D. I would like another radiator, I assume the front would be the preferred...

Oh I went ahead and grabbed it. Sorry for not updating the thread.

Oh okay, I have owned a eVGA motherboard and video card and haven't had issues with them but since so many people seem to love Seasonic I was looking in that arena.

Thanks for the info. How do EVGA PSUs hold up? I have never had one before.

Looking for a modular power supply. I plan to overclock and water cool. Only running a single video card. Below are the CPU and video card being used. 4690k R9 280 3GB The video card states 750w minimum but came across a good deal on a Seasonic 660W full modular power supply. Seasonic 660W...

Thanks

Haven't heard many people talking about Biostar, I assume you have he Z87 version by your link. 6GHz, wow, I doubt that was stable.
