LOL......... finance..... dude, your better off saving your money.... Computers are just like cars, in few months better parts are available for purchase and your computer price drops in value.....
So why finance a 1900.00 item, when in 6 months it will cost only 1300.00???
And then in a year, you can buy those same parts at bestbuy for 20.00 with mail in rebates...
Dam those rebates.... Dam the waiting.... Dam those finance charges..... Show me the money.... CASH IS THE WAY TO GO....
Oh by the way, i recommend a third sata drive for mirroring.... Just incase those crappy raptors die or give out like they usually do, you will have a back up and be able to restore your pron.....
Make sure your mobo supprots Raid 0, 1, 0+1
First off, I was partially kidding about the finance part. Possibly If I do the 90 days same as cash and pay it off before then.
I plan on Having 5 total hard drives in it, Ill prolly use both of my seagates that I have now for data, and have another hard drive for my Partition Images. The program I use is teh hax, If I have two hard drives in raid and one goes bad, I can have my system back up to exactly where it was in less than an hour.
The motherboard has 8 Sata channels, 4 Sata I, and 4 Sata II, along with the onboard Raid controller...
So stop harrasing me dammit! Sigh, What do you guys think about the parts that I picked? That was my only question.... Whew..
