[P.S. - bread bin = bredrin = breathren=brother]
 
Thanks for the tip - 2 500Gb WD AAKS's would be £40 more than 2 320Gb WD AAKS's, from where I'm ordering it anyway. In a few months I'm going to get another large single storage drive for him anyway. Thanks anyway :)

Looks good, do you already have all other parts including case, good PSU etc? You could drop one of the hard drives to get a faster CPU. :)

Cheers semi. Yes he has a 520W Corsair PSU I believe and a Lian-Li PC7. I think he's keen on RAID 0 but I will suggest that to him. I've also advised that a cheap CPU now can go to auction when Penryn emerges.
