    check out the goods:

    ACF 64 cooler: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16835185125
    Planning on oc'ing my windsor 6000+ the stock heat sink jst won't cut it

    Corsair ram cooler:http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16835704001
    My ram already has built in heatsinks (dominator) this completes the set.

    Another hdd so i can complete my Raid setup: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16822136098
    Its a clone of my current hdd, and my mobo supports Raid, now i just have to figure out how to set it all up.

    and a new Soprano case to throw it all in :): http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16811133040
    oooh so curvy

    Sweet! I have the Soprano case, nice, well built. Kinda cramped with my stuff, but hey. What kinda RAID are you setting up?

    I believe I'm going to go RAID 1.

    RAID 1, so you like the redundancy. Get one more drive, do a RAID 0, and clone it once a week....:D

    yeah, I'm going for the redundancy, not data transfer speed. Another drive? wouldn't you need an even number? three? I supposed i could buy two more, then I'd have redundant and higher speed transfer, then again the hdd are like $75 a crack

    oh nvrmnd- i get what you're saying. But i could get 2 more drives- then they would backup themselves ;)

    I was talking about a manual backup onto the one drive. But if you have 3 drives you can run RAID3 with 3 drives and you can rebuild the RAID if one drive fails. If 2 fail, you are screwed.

    There a bunch of RAID options. You might want to consider one besides RAID 1
