As long as my pirate goes fast and my click off page is quick... That is just bout all I need to know.

congrat's Nelson. Sounds like a powerhouse Is the AMD a 64 bit processor? Are you running the two drives in a mirror? or just two separate drives? I thought of building one too, but when I worked out the price, and my time, it was cheaper to buy a "no name".

Hey PeterGriffin
Yes it is a 64 bit processor.
I am running two independent hard drives.All the important stuff I install to the second drive so that in the event of a crash I don't loose my important files.First drive is for OS and basic stuff,I use smaller drives because they are easier to defrag and scan.It works flawlessly.May make it into a dual OS Boot with LINUX UBUNTU partition.I've done this b4 with great success.
