My new desktop system
2.4 GHz Intel Core 2 Quad Q6600 w/ 1066 MHz FSB. Awesome.
Asus P5N32-E SLI motherboard. Excellent.
Asus GeForce 8800GTS 320MB GDDR3 PCI-Express. Amazing.
4 GB RAM. Yep, that should be enough.
DVD burner with LightScribe. Nice.
4x Seagate 500 GB 7200 RPM SATA 2 hard drives. Huge.
Antec Sonata III 500 case. Beautiful.
I'll configure the HDs as follows: 2 HDs will be in a mirror as my primary drive. I'll back up the primary to another bare drive. The last HD will be a scratch drive.
2 TB raw disk space. Unbelievable.
I've got two more 500 GB SATA drives that I'll put in enclosures. One will be in an eSATA enclosure, and I'll use it as my external backup for my desktop. The other will go in a USB 2 enclosure, and will be used to back up my laptop.
I've got one Dell 2407; I'll get a second one when I return from Austin, so I can work dual-headed, as I now do with my laptop. Nice.
This is the coolest computer I've ever owned. And I designed and built it. Very nice.

I Googled Sonata III 500, and up popped your blog. I'm building a computer too, my first, and I'm a novice, so your post is quite interesting to me. Mine will be an E6750 w 4Gb and Raid 1, though I think three drives will suffice.
Thanks for the help.
