    One machine to rule them all...

    Might want to change the mouse / keyboard Also look into the WD AAKS range as they're newer / faster PSU is serious Overkill for anything imaginable that you could do, 1000% better off getting a case such as a Akasa Eclipse and a Corsair 620w. the p190 is massive, you won't have enough room...

    Hard Drive Configuration

    If you're wanting a quiet drive when its being constantly accessed, you might want to look into a samsung spinpoint, generally concidered to be the quiest about. Best performance would be the 2x 320, but if you value your data, you might want to back it up to something as with raid 0 you...

    Was intending on getting a cheaper case, and modding it putting in a few 120 mm intakes infront of the drives to keep them cool

    I am building the server myself, we're doing it that way as all of the other have only got laptops, and we all want to share our movies etc between us. I infact hadn't even thought about who would pay for the rma etc if one of them went down, but it would also be a place where we could very...

    Just and update, I've purchased a second hand MSI 939 mobo with 4 s-ata connectors, which has build in Gigabit Lan. Thus making me only need a single pci-e s-ata card. Next I'm looking for a case and a psu to run the lot of them. Looking towards a 550w Antec psu and a so called Thermaltake Xaser...

    does anyone know of any courier services in the USA that deliver to the UK?

    I think most delivery companies will deliver to much of the developed world, and I can't imagine prices being much different from company to company.

    7 HD case

    just made http://forums.overclockers.co.uk/showthread.php?t=17728415 but don't seem to be getting many replies about the question. Looking for a cheap case that has 7 x 3.5 bays open, and has sufficient cooling for all of the drives. Looked at the Antec Titan 550 Tower Case, which I can get...

    I completely agree, but as there are 7 of us, we were intending on all putting in a single drive so we'd all be able to walk away with them at the end.

    I've looked for a am2 processors on a popular auction webbie, and see am2 3000+ and 3200+ going for about £20-30 so that might be a better option. Main thing is suggestions about the case, there any cheapish ones with 7 or so 3.5 bays... not intending on getting 3.5 - 5.25 converters...

    Thing is I don't want to build a half arsed pc, as it will be used for a few years with the same use, as I do have a large amount of media on this pc atm, with over 1Tb of internals almost full at the moment, gradually transfering my pictures to an external 750 recently bought. Looking at what...

    Wasn't intending on connecting it to the TV, as we get sky+ with our flat. Main thing I need advice is with the case, s-ata pci cards, as most mobos' can take 4-6 s-ata drives, and I was intending on a 550w psu, which I suppose will be satisfactory. was intending on Product Name GeIL...

    spec me up boys.

    Thing is that when overclocking, most of the c2d chips quite easily hit clocks of 3ghz and above. However when clocking you'll not be able to increase the L2 cache. So yes, it probably is worth it, but that also depends on how much you're willing to pay. There is a good link on wikipedia if...

    Opinions needed on my PC Specs.

    Nice spec there, you might want to change a few things though, depending on whether you're overclocking or not. You could change the e6600 to a e6420. Otherwise good case, PSU and Mobo.
