    The other 2 computers have broken floppy drives.

        SCSI drives are still too much money, and lack the capacity of SATA drives.

        The ASUS A8V has dual RAID controllers (Via, Promise), so it's possible to build a RAID 0+1, but I don't need it that badly.

        The big thing was capacity though: this machine doubles as my PVR with Snapstream's Personal Video Station software, and I need lots of HD space.

            What kind of geek takes pictures of the inside of his computer when building it?

              I've seen your picture, you wouldn't know style if it ****ed you up the ass.

              You probably think the noisy cheese grater case of the new G5s is stylish.

              Rule of thumb with Apple morons when dealing with anything attractively styled:
              • If Apple makes it, it is stylish and sexy by default
              • If anyone else makes it:
                • "It is a clone of Apple!"
                • "It's ugly!"

                Anyway, are you going to give us any benchmark info about it?

                  Jeez - a fuzzy head shot and you can tell everything.

                  Why is it my fault that you surround yourself with hideousness?

                    Well it gets 51,940 AquaMarks in AquaMark 3.0. 3DMark03 crashes on load right now so I need to work with that.

                        Aren't you the one that thinks the iMacs look good (either new or old)? I presume you also think the G5s look good.

                        The iPod looks good, I'll give you that one, but most of Apple's style is ugly and overrated. The new G5s take the cake for hideousness.

                        BTW, not only is this rig far quieter, far faster, and better looking than the new dual G5s -- it's also considerably cheaper.

                        The Dual G5s are an incredible $4200CDN (I paid $2700).

                        God damn, how can people buy that?

                          Going by the pics of your boyfriend and now this "dull slab", you obviously don't understand what beauty is.

                          Anyway, I'm tired of participating in yet another of your "Look at me I'm Sandra Dee" threads, so that's me out.

                            Wanna knock off the SO cracks, jackass? I don't understand why JohnT got mad when I responded to his SO-crack in kind, then you threw a fit about how wrong it is for me to do it, and here you go insulting my SO because of penis envy.

                            For the record, maybe I should start a poll over which is more attractive? Although, it'd be a landslide victory...

                              If you actually read Freud, who coined the term, you would realise that only women suffer from penis envy, and then only if he is right (which is hotly disputed).

                              I don't see JohnT posting half naked pics of his SO on here. You did, so expect some comment.

                              Anyway, I'd rather look at pics of Sava's girlfriend.

                              The G5 design is completely functional - the grill is there because it is needed, as are the handles. Your computer has some strange molding on the front that makes it look like a bad designer cabinet from the 60s.
