    recommend a pci-x 16 (x4) raid card

    Buying Open-Box Mobo From Newegg: ?

    agree with stevedave, have had multiple open boxes and they were fine (motherboard, cpu, ram, fans, cases, power supplies) however i would not buy open box hard drives. just the one thing i would not get open box.

    Hard Drive recovery

    thats exactly what happened to my drive. drive kept clicking, most of the time the costs are based on this: 1. if it needs to be opened, this is done in super clean environment to mirror the data. 2. if the parts just needed to be replaced. my case was both.
