[automaton]

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

trying to assemble nf4 parts without going to poorhouse

now i cant find forumer who told me hitachi ata7 drives had feature tool problems
but it turned me off after reliabilty was also mentioned

however i again hunted drives
came up with 2x maxtor plus 10 200gb 16mb cache
[awesome benches and ncq]

???? for nf4 raid 0

also
what do you think of
enermax noisetaker atx2 485watt
instead of
enermax 535watt

i will only have 2 hd raid0
1 x700pro vidcard
no web
the 485 got good reviews
its 14 less and the hard drives are 49x2 more dinero

or should i just go for broke
literally

not a problem on the power supply , i have one running now .
what a lot of newbie dont know is the biggest draw on the power supply is on the start up ,then it goes to idle mode till you start a heavy draw like writing to the hard drive or burning a cd or dvd ,the rest of the time it uses very little power.
it keeps the computer running the drives spinning things like this ,just like a cars engine it runs at idle uses a little gas till you put it in gear an step on the gas
