Recommend not getting the Zalman 850 and going w/ corsair. My 850 kicked the can a week after I got it :(

Screen Leakage? I haven't noticed any problems with my Asus G1S-A1. It's awesome! My only complaint is that Vista sucks. I got a blue screen of death 2 minutes after I first turned it on. Chucked it for XP and no problems since.

Yes, I'm running a A64 3700 w/ 7800GT /w a shuttle 250watt psu

Finally made the switch, running Ubuntu 6.10 w/ beryl. Hardest part of installing it was getting the nvidia drivers to work, for some reason the xorg file would not configure correctly with Envy.

I can already see that I'm gonna need to spend more than 800 for this. So far I'm looking to use http://www.freenas.org/ for the OS Hardware: $100 1gb ram $50 1gb usb flash key or 60-80gig drive $100 500+ watt psu $360 3 400gb drives in RAID 5...

I have had a 300gb drive fail on me, so I was hoping that using RAID 1 would reduce the chances of that happing again. The only other way they could get wiped is by a virus right? In which case backing up to DVD-Rs sounds like the only solid way to prevent data loss. Any other ideas for cost...

I am planning on building a file server box and I'm looking for suggestions on what to get. I am especially clueless on what type of RAID controller to get, and I'm trying to keep it under 800 dollars. I already have a 300gb and a 400gb drive and plan on buying similar drives to Raid 1...

Thanks for the input guys, I decided to get Debian on my laptop. I'll stick with the baby steps from here on out, seeing out I am trying to take on too much at once.

What speakers are those?

I didn't know stage 1 was not supported, I guess I'll try a stage three then with gentoo this weekend or give up and install Debian.

Has anyone had success with this? http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/ I was looking into taking another plung into linux this weekend and after failing to get gentoo to work, I was thinking about using this. Any thoughts?

What program for the toolbars?

Well I have a 7800gt I was using as a TV tuner and I used to have a usb avermedia TV tuner, but I never could play console games with them due to the lag. Is there any improvment in using VGA TV tuners?
