    Need hard drive cloning/ RAID advice?

    Thanks for all the replies. I did a little research this afternoon and by all accounts you cannot "easilly" turn a single drive into a raid 1 array....... Obviously there is a hole in the market for someone willing to write the software to do that! What I did was format one of the 1TB...

    Horrible experience with NEWEGG, need another supplier?

    I can only relay my own personal experience, trust me, it was very poor. They would rather lose an order than try and help a customer. I understand their whole business model of "box shifting" and offereing no sales advice. I just wasnt aware it included ignoring and BS customers who have...

    Need to ugrade my machine, totally out of the loop.

    OK, I did some research. I looked at the gigabyte EP35-DS3L socket LGA 775 and the E7200 and they look well reviewed plus the MB looks like it will take faster a faster CPU when they come down in price. What I am confused by is the array of video cards. On newegg alone they have 109...
