As the title says...

Intel core2duo e6600
EVGA 680i
Corsair dominator pc6400 2gb - cancled the geil because i had to wait 2weeks before they are in stock (from the place i bought , not overclockers)

X-FI Xtrememusic (already have)
150gb raptor (pointless

)
250gb maxtor (already have)

ca9phoenix · 29 Nov 2006 at 00:03

CarlD · 29 Nov 2006 at 00:05

ca9phoenix · 29 Nov 2006 at 00:11

CarlD · 29 Nov 2006 at 12:51

I was just checking as it hasn't been despatched so i could easily cancle it..

CarlD · 29 Nov 2006 at 13:14

i have another £210 to spend.. What should i get? :/

wickedy · 29 Nov 2006 at 13:31

Another Raptor.

Pair in Raid0 will make your rig fly.

..not that it'll be slow anyway...

CarlD · 29 Nov 2006 at 13:35

nah keep it as a backup for important files which might get killed thanks to raid. but yeah 1 more raptor and woooooo

CarlD · 29 Nov 2006 at 15:16

hmm the thing is.. how do i set up raid?

XtAsY · 29 Nov 2006 at 15:24

Nice rig mate. I'd actually recommend you don't RAID 0 your disks unless all your data is constantly backed up at the end of the day. If one of those disks fails, that's all your data gone. The difference in performance really isn't all that much anyway.

CarlD · 29 Nov 2006 at 15:27

Well i could raid 0 those raptors and use the maxtor to back up data? :/

All thats on the hdd are games + windows and the pictures.. which are all on my 2gb
memory stick so thats ok

There were early reports of crackling sound with the X-Fi and EVGA 680i.

See this thread here for a possible work around, or fix.
