    Ah ha.. I figured it out. I just wasn't seeing the option to add drives to the array. Been a loooooong week. Normally I'm not this obtuse.

    I checked out the manual and I still can't figure it out. It doesn't make sense. Te last board I set up was a GigaByte. I hit ctrl F to get into the RAID setup utility and chose the drives that would be part of the RAID volume. This doesn't have that option. I can't choose which drives to add.

    Got it. But still, WIndows isn't seeing it as a single volume. What am I doing wrong? I can't figure out how to set the drives as RAID in the bios. http://www.imagebam.com/image/aa21ed120148438 http://www.imagebam.com/image/c4fb80120148441

    Now that I have the machine together, WIndows 7 won't recognize the RAID-1 volume to install. Do I have to hook up a UAB floppy drive and use the Win7 equivalent to F6 drivers? Here is my setting in the ctrl-F menu Is this right? http://img513.imageshack.us/img513/4676/img0169sz.jpg...

    Client wants a RAID 1. Yeah. THAT! w00t! I've been there. I stopped building PCs for the most part in 2005. Now I do when people need me to. I'm getting a second masters degree - in accounting. So for the past few years I haven't been able to keep up with the latest hardware. Too bad...

    Thanks, I'll follow your advice. I just have to get back on the PC I made the shopping cart on, put it into PDF and confirm the price with the client.

    The 640GB drive was just what I picked out. Is that a bad idea? Remember I'd like to have a RAID 1 setup, hence I need two. I can't add combo deals to my wishlist... but here is what I have picked out. Once I get a confirmation from my client I'll order it via the combo...

    One of the first thing that failed with the client's previous Dell was the graphics card - which I replaced. I figure I'm going to use that since its brand new.

    Unless the case comes with a PSU - some do some don't. I'd rather stick with ATX and an ATX case and PSU.

    I think because I'm a traditionalist - I just like having things that aren't built in. But if you think that's the way to go, I'm willing to budge on that issue. I like being able to swap a video card and be done with it. Yes, I'll need two hard drives for the mirrored volume, and a DVD-RW...
