zabomb4163 said:(PS. why buy SCSI when WD is so close in performance for alot more space???? )
100gigs on SCSI would cost 500$ vs's
(3) WD's for 348$ that gives you 240 gigs of space....i seriously doubt there is much differance if any between 4SCSI and 3WD
did you just ask that? or imply that IDE is nearly as fast as SCSI...wow..
a RAID 5 scsi would own EVERYTHING...what it does, it does basically a RAID 0, 3 of the drives are RAID 0 and the last 1 is a mirror drive..it creates a skeleton copy of the rest of the drives..so if one of them dies, you pop in another one, and you are on your way..it completely rebuilds the entire drive from scratch...
if you want some serious performance..go with a RAID 5 scsi with 15k rpm drives... get 4 of these
CRT would be better for gaming...uhh, get the NFORCE 2 board by asus..xp2800+, 1gb of pc3200 corsair cas 2, all dvd's are the same...lite one makes a 52x burner thats nice, i guess go with a 9700 but id get a ti4600 or something..but since he has a buttload of money..get the 9700....sb audigy platinum EX, klipsche 5.1, dont get wireless mouse or keyboard..they SUCK MORE THAN ANYTHING FOR GAMING...get a MS intellimouse explorer 3.0a...they rock my socks off, and ya know..why not just get him a gigabit network card? they are like $50 at newegg, and i really like my microsoft internet pro keyboard..it has a 2 port usb hub built into it
