Since they will go in a RAID-5 array (with TLER changed of...
Do the new stands from say a 2007WFP fit on the 2005FPW?
I really dislike the stand that's included with the 2005!
Also, it's probably time to upgrade to a bigger LCD, any recommendations on a good LCD with a S-IPS panel? (I do a lot of photo editing)
the 2408WFP is a bit too pricey...

Greetings all,
I've just switched from a Dell laptop to a new Core 2 MBP as my primary workstation. The transition has been going pretty well except for a few questions,
1. Is there a way to have network shares automatically mount upon startup/login?
2. How do I refresh a network...

I'm picking up some Logitech Z-5500 Speakers soon and I keep reading that for games, you should be using the analog minijack connections with the three cables instead of going digital since the X-Fi apparently can't mix them into a digital connection or something.

In terms of quality, are they comparable?
The 1.83 MBP deal on Amazon didn't work out, it was stuck on waiting to be shipped for a while, then it just went out of stock yesterday, and the rebate expired.
I'm thinking again, It will probably be worth waiting for the next revision with the new Core 2 CPU.

Are those 'lobes' on high end ear phones confortable?
What are the advantages to such a 'lobe' design compared to the style of the E828 or stock ipod ear phones?
I'm looking at the MDR-E888s right now. The only difference in terms of specs...
