Can't remember if I posted pics of the Define R3 yet or not...

I'm using 4 Scythe SFLEX E 1200 RPM fans with 3 of them on the included fan controller. Quiet can't begin to describe this setup.

I go back and forth with speeds. Right now I'm undervolted on the 560 Ti with the i5 760 at stock. Total power playing BC2 from the walls less than 300 watts thanks to Corsairs AX750. There's an F90 SSD that replaced a pair of velociraptors and put a stupid smile on my face. Those things were LOUD...and slow, haha.

I swapped the Forte with a Xonar DX and I'm much happier with the software. Dolby Headphone doesn't mess up the sound quality like CMSS3D did either.

Lets see...heatsinks a VenX, rams G.skills ECO 1.35 V CL7 1600...there's some old crappy hdds down there too, lol. Oh and boards Asus' P7P55D-E Pro. Great board...does S3 perfectly...even with the sandforce drive.

The case really is the star of the show though. $100 and I'm much happier than I ever was with the P182 or Stacker 810 or CM690.

I was thinking of springing for the Promise SmartStor (indeed, I wouldn't touch a Drobo). Most of the drives are duplicated storage + Time Machine in 4-interface units. One of them only has a 500GB PATA drive with a ZFS partition containing unimportant video and in the corner is a fairly new WD MyBook FW800/USB2 2TB drive.

I love Silverstone cases. 
 
I've been shopping for computer cases lately, and I got the Silverstone Raven RV02-E Evolution (white). I'm contemplating getting a black one for my other computer, or maybe the FT01, but I haven't done it yet. I'll post pictures of my RV02-E soon.

ZFS. I keep waiting to hear the bad side of ZFS and so far it's only that you can't get it to work with Windows and if you want native support and it's very hard to find a good JBOD enclosure. That being said, I came across a pretty nifty eSATA 4-bay enclosure the other day that I could have used for ZFS. And, being the highly intelligent individual I am, I didn't bookmark it.

Wow, how haven't i posted earlier? Well whatever, i need a new computer bad, been looking, but i need to upgrade a few things.

Nice multiple-monitor rig.  Ironically I gave up on the idea of doing something similar just as I found a store that sold reasonably-priced mounts!

I feel your pain. I've done that a few times. I'm not going with RAID anytime though, unless it is RAID 1. Everyone I know who tried to set up a RAID for redundancy lost all their data. I'd rather just keep it simple.

Those speakers are great for nearfield listening 

 If you had some space, I would suggest speaker stands.

Nice background and setup.  Do those cans do good for Metal and other genres?

I found it on Amazon, then ordered a frame from it of a custom movie poster frame site.
