20k? What the heck? Even if everything worked perfectly (two GPU clients, one SMP client) I would only be about 11k. But, I cannot run F@H on GPU0 at all; it flatly refuses to run. F@H SERIOUSLY hates ATi cards.

If you want to use a GPU for folding for points, perhaps you can try an nVidia card...

I could, but for me, gaming is the priority, F@H is ancillary. It would just be nice if the performance in F@H was commensurate to the performance in games is all. Oh, and I wish GPU0 would fold!

BlackOmega, right on buddy. That price looks about right for a 80GB IDE drive. Hope it works out. I had some RAID woes a couple of weeks ago while using the Nvidia Mediashield controller. Needless to say I didn't have much luck with 2x80GB IDE drives in either Raid 0 or 1. I eventually went with a controller but then that thing (Promise) took a dump

Good luck

I hope all this talk of RAID misadventures does not foreshadow troubles when I go RAIDing for the first time.

And the time for that grows near... Certain confidants here are aware just how far along some of my projects are.

I'm certainly not Joe... you have not updated your W/C thread in forever.

That project is second in line, or third.

What I will disclose, though, is that the case is out for mods right now. The modifications are not yet finalized as of yet, which means the cuts have yet to be made. But the concepts are fairly solidified and are just subject to confirmation and execution.

More pressing for me is what is likely the last air-cooled overclocked machine I'll build. This build is progressing very nicely (and it provided highly-valued lessons in the mods made on this build's case which are being applied to the water-cooled project). On the schedule tonight is the CPU + cooler mounting, then a motherboard mock-up in situ in the case.

Two tidbits about this build (dubbed "Darth Raivo"): It has a decapitated Opteron 170, and it will have a RAID0 array.

Yeah, I sent my case out for mods too. I am all thumbs, and so for me to try to work on it is humorous. (We see this with my Xaser V.)

**txtmstrjoe** · 05-12-09

To be honest, if I had the tools, I would have attempted to do the mods myself. However, I misplaced my Dremel, so I am deprived of a learning experience.

A man should never misplace his dremel. Its up there with Ducktape in being the single most useful thing you'll ever own.

I have an older 1200 RPM corded dremel, from late 80's early 90's. Still works like a charm, had the motor replaced by Dremel once. Its just a great piece to have around the house.

More so that I can fleabay for the older parts, since people want the newer 5000 RPM ones.
