    First speaker purchase- Advice please.

    I'd suggest you think again on getting tubes in your amp since tubes known to distort the sound - make it sound "Warm" - a lot of people do like this specific distortion. 20wpc is not bad and should be enough in small to medium size rooms. Please not that I also linked to sherwood stereo...

    That's a very good observation... I notice quite a few folks recommend using headphone amps to power bookshelf speakers... :eek:

    $100 SAN on CraigsList - Thoughts?

    yea, right..... The raid controller card alone new is $630... I'd ebay in for $250 and it'd be sold in 1 day or less $100 is a steal for this system, even if anything but raid card is trash.

    Backup Server - White Box vs. HP/Dell?

    If this is for business - I'd never look for whiteboxes - risk of of loosing data is not worth the risk of loosing the job... I'd checkout Data Domain (now Part of EMC) products as they are experts in data dedup.

    Intel DQ965GF - is much better choice - at least it has 1x pci-e slot with 250MB/s theoretical capacity (pci-e x16 can only be used for video card) Already includes 1gb nic, so thats good news. I think most popular sas LSI-1068 based controllers would work in pci-e x1, thou limited in...

    Krator Speakers?

    Based on this review: http://www.hardwarezone.com.sg/review-krator-neso-02-n2-21030-geared-bass I'd skip these.... In addition Krator is K-World brand. I used to have KWorld PCI TV tuner and it was really crappy.

    Home-Built NAS Questions

    Streaming, probably not, 30MBis is still 240Mbis which more more than enough to stream HD also keep in mind these systems are not power efficient so do expect noticeable increase in electrical bill if you plan to run it 24/7

    Home-Built NAS Questions

    Your worst chock point wont be the cpu, but the PCI interface - you would never get anything over 30 MBytes/second reads or writes regardless of your hard drivers. Keep in mind as a single modern 7200rpm drive can easily read at 80-90Mbytes/second.... So filling even 2tb volume would take you at...

    amd audio and mic

    video cards don't have audio inputs since they are not real sound cards at all, you'd have to use the onboard audio inputs or use usb microphone/headset

    PC audio help

    Yes, Mirage are good speakers, but they almost double the price. Pair of Mirage Nanosats or OMD-5 will cost you 170/ea and a" decent sub" I'd consider at-least HSU VTF-1 http://www.hsuresearch.com/products/vtf-1.html add a decent refub receiver. Total about: $1100 for good 2.1
