Haha, nice. Like consumer grade HSM.

Raid controllers usually support different RAID groups, so you can include or exclude different drives in raid.

We have about 1000 Seagate drives at work, and the work great. The 1 or 2 bad batches were completely overblown.

Hardware RAID is overrated. I built a 192 Drive ZFS server at work for backups. It is all based on software RAID on cheap HBA cards. Supermicro JBOD's and head node.

Sounds like you don't need more RAM, but nowadays room is cheap so I am a fan of getting 4GB of RAM as overkill.

Also, does anyone know if there is a way to take an old Time Warner Cable box and use it as a TV Tuner on a different provider? We get basic cable in, but do not pay for a cable box. I happen to have an old one around though.

Do most VCR's have a tuner in it, or is that uncommon?

What is the cheapest and easiest device that takes in Cable TV, and outputs RCA, DVI or VGA? I have an LCD with no cable input, and I don't have a cable box with my cable TV. Any ideas? Is there something like a cheap TIVO? Thanks, Jordan

What's the deal with DisplayPort? Seems like it hasn't come out yet with Nvidia Geforce. Is it slow adoption, or just never going to catch on?

Hi all, Has anyone experimented with a 30" center monitor + 2 x 24" monitors, one on each side? I am gearing up for this, but want to see if anyone has any feedback. I am not gaming, just doing software development. Thanks so much, Jordan

Has anyone tried 30 + 2x24?

I'd love to see how your home made stands come out. Keep us posted!

Wagsrule, Been watching ebay, but they don't come up very often. Seem mainly to find stands for 24" and smaller monitors.

Dell 24" ultrasharp if it will double as a monitor.

For that matter, if anyone can suggest after-market stands that are not too expensive. Don't need anything super fancy, just something on par with OEM.
