yeah, you should be able to take over for NASA if their systems go down, with that system. 4 hard drives? must do alot of downloading... lol

Actually, I put this kind of power to use for other things besides mega frame rates in 3D gaming. I like to play some 3D shooters, but that's not the whole point for me to build something like this. I will actually make use of it for serious digital video editing. Because of Mustang Works, I do a lot of work with digital video that we shoot at the events. Furthermore, I do lots of work with large PhotoShop files and other development programs. The faster the better for me.

As for storage space. This thing will have 360 GB on the RAID array and 100 GB off the other drive (pulling it from my existing system that has a 40 GB drive and the 100 GB drive). For example, right now I have over 100 GB in digital video files on my system. So, I wanted TONS of storage capacity for all the video stuff I play with and work on. Among everything else.
