    Why can't we all just get along?

    So, here I am, going through yet another version of my spec for my new supercomputer. :\ I was good to go, then read a few bad reviews on a couple of components, so tweaked the list a bit. Then got some advice and changed my mind again. Then read some bad reviews on some of those, so started...

    Internal Raid 5

    I am considering an internal raid 5 set up, using 4 x Samsung 1GB F3 and a Highpoint RocketRAID 2310. I am a little concerned that this might create a lot of heat. Has anyone got any experience of this kind of set-up?

    Hmmm, where I'm from (Ireland) the MSI is about $25 cheaper. I'm finding it pretty difficult to choose a motherboard to be honest. Although price is not the main issue for me, I don't want to spend money on features I don't need (SLi / crossfire) but I still want a decent reliable...

    Is there any reason I shouldn't use an MSI P67A-c45 motherboard? It's a good bit cheaper and it seems to cover what I need - or am I missing something? :confused: I'm thinking i7 2600k, MSI P67A-c45, 8 GB RAM, Gtx 560ti 1Mb

    A couple more questions if you have a minute: 1. It turns out there is a place local to me that has G.Skill Ram. What is the difference between the X series (F3-10666CL7D-8GBXH) and the (F3-10666CL9D-8GBXL) - there is a €30 price difference per 8GB. 2. Will I notice a difference between a...

    Yes, I work with raw photos a lot, and do a lot of 300dpi magazine work. I don't use AE that much - but mainly because I never had a machine that would run it properly :rolleyes: - hence the new build! Thanks for the input! :thumbsup:

    @mnewsham Oh yeah the optical drive ;-) -and windows 7! I'd rather spend more now and get a good system and not be sitting here in a few months say 'if only...' G.SKILL Ripjaws X Series (or any G-SKILL) seems like it will be hard to get around here:-( @tynopik I'm in Ireland so...
