Your new system sounds quite satisfactory to me, and it must have cost the Power companys a bundle already; there has been so much heat generated in this thread that heaters are being turned off all over tehe country. There have certainly been some impassioned posts ! I hope you are happy with it, but remember to allow a little sack time over the weekend. Just an aside, I have yet to see an LCD or plasma monitor that is any use whatsoever for photo matching etc. They may be ok for gaming, and sitting in bright light, but the colour rendition is tragic (to my tired eyes anyway) I got a Sony 19" for that reason, and the fact that these are the only eyes I'll ever get. I surely winced at the price when I bought it, but have never regretted it since.
Have a suitably violent weekend ;)

Could you please explain how RAID 0+1 would out preform RAID 5? RAID 5 uses 4 disk in RAID 0 + 1 Disk for parity. It wouldnt be noticably faster than 0+1 but it would be faster.
