Its all done just need to run the score checker on it which I have forgot to run!

Have you ever looked at the stars and wondered if we're alone or not? If so, then check this out, although we think we are rather important in this universe it kind of shows that actually, we don't really matter given the scale of things out there! http://www.saveitwith.us/storage/planets.jpg Do you feel small now? I know I do! D

Hmm im interested to see what this one gets then. Its guna get W7 x64 on it 2mz!

Think what one should work mate! Mention money to management and it always gets them moving I find!

You speak true words Jamo, I had this conversation with the head support guy at Fujitsu a few weeks back down in Bracknell, and he was saying that you shouldn't store your SQL log files on RAID 5 because it can slow the system down as it can't handle the throughput needed so its better to stick them on a RAID 0 or RAID 1. D

It's a personal build for him purchased privately. There are only 2 SAS connectors though so could not use SAS and RAID 5 would have been nice. Could buy a seperate card though. D

Oh yeah it was like Sh*t of a shovel the laptop running SSD in RAID booted in like 2 seconds, we were impressed!

The guy just likes his gadgets and this is just another one. He already has a PC running SAS and has got exceptional performance from the drives already so decided this one should be SAS too. They rate at about £200 for one of these which is 15k rpm. I must admit they are very quick these SAS drives. He tried 2 x SSD 2.5" drives in a laptop that was uber quick lol but the drives did cost like £500 each! D

How about a lovely pair of coconuts!

LOL I love them ha ha!

Yeah I understand the problems with RAID 0, I'm going to advise he sticks to RAID 1. I hope it gets good scores! D

Antec 900 Case Antec 650W PSU Asus P6T6 WS Revolution Mobo Intel i7 930 2.88Ghz 6GB Hyper-X 1866Mhz DDR3 Gigabyte GTS-250 2 x 300GB SAS 6GB/s HDD's RAID 1 It's a decent spec!

Hi, I've just built a new computer for a Dept Head at one of our schools. He has 2 x 300GB SAS Drives in RAID 1 for his system drive. Would it be quicker to put them in RAID 0 or keep them in RAID 1? Im hoping for top scores on W7 Performance, what do you recon? D

You can set an autorun option so that no keyboard input is needed we do it for pupils laptops from wakefield, just pop the DVD in and it images the laptop. Im just trying to find the woman who has the CD's to send the correct commands, think she is on dinner though! D

Yep defo a linksys http://www.a-soko.com/images/LinksysRouter.jpg bad rep for them really!

What there was an advert in there, I thought it was one of those late night channels!

Tip 1 for teachers - use common sense more frequently!

3 calls open at the moment 2 awaiting feedback and 1 awaiting authorisation for a replacement IAWB that has died. Had about 10 calls today. Off for a curry now though for a work mates retirement, then off to Leeds comedy club! D

I've never tired, I'm willing to give it a go though, I know its possible to complete a rubix cube with your feet so a mobo should be a doddle! [ame=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zePA3uIbB5I]YouTube- MythBusters - Creaming the Cube[/ame]

"2.5 people" isn't that a bit messy which half do you have the top or bottom? I know server rooms are cold but they just don't work the same as proper cold storage

Some very good point there. Thanks +1

Hi Sacrej, welcome, you look new! How big is your school to only have 2 people?

Or drunk! the plot thickens!

It will probably turn out that the car was attached to the front of the lorry and just riding a cm above the road surface! D

Serious change of underware alert!
