Question....should I get another Western Digital Raptor and RAID 10 three of them? My understanding is that it would give me the 'security' of a RAID 1 with twice as much HDD space.......am I right?

All depends if the mobo supports it...AFAIK the board only support 0,1 and 5.

In fact, assuming you've still got the AV8 Deluxe mentioned at the start it only supports 0 & 1:

Re: Building my own PC

You can use either power connector, but if your PSU has the smaller SATA power leads then I would use them. Dedicated power line for the drives.

Not yet......I've had one of my techy patients take a look at it and he thinks the power spike has corrupted the laptops network settings......or something like that :disturbd: ....I'll let him rebuild it :D
