New Core I7 workstation ordered

Posted on Nov 25, 2008 by Paul White

Here it is.  It cost around $55 to ship it.  I buy all my stuff off newegg.com  They have by far the best prices, for system builders.  I am very excited about the SAS drives. I plan to run them in RAID 0, then I will do daily backups to the SATA drive.  As of right now the ASUS mother board is the only one that supports SAS RAID.  I am excited to see how this performs, considering that normally you would have to spend $500 to get a decent RAID card for SAS drives.  Also keep in mind I build this sytem for work ( design, graphics, mutiple displays ) and not games.  Else I would have bought the 4870 instead of the 9800 GT's.  I am also very excited about the case.  2 x 250mm Fans means maximum cooling without having to spin it up to high RPMs resulting in system noise.  My current system has 8 x 80mm fans to keep things cool, and is a little loud.  It will be nice to have a quiet system without giving up any cooling capacity.  I thought about doing water cooling, but from the reviews it seems many of the systems still have issues.

If you're spending that kind of $$$ might as well get hardware RAID . it will do justice to those SAS drives
