Cable management is deffo not as easy as it looks :/

System has finally finished all its configurating and the RAID has finished initializing itself.

I first set it up with RAID 1 and I got about 5.9 in the Windows Experience Index (WEI). I decided however to re-configure this and use RAID10 since i'd not only get the same amount of space and reliability but would be faster than just RAID 1 (for those who don't know, RAID 10 is basically RAID 1 and 0 put together).

Here is the system WEI (Using integrated graphics):


As you can see the hard disks are the bottleneck, so maybe i'll add an SSD for the OS in the future. (And ofc buy a dedicated graphics card which is next on my list anyway).

How come your GTX 580 has 4GB of memory when it's advertised to have 1.5GB?

Edit: I see why now

Waiting on my Intel i5 2500k and Corsair A50 to arrive tomorrow. I decided I couldn't justify an extra £70 odd just for hyperthreading... then next month or the month after I'll get another pack of the same RAM to bump it up to 8GB :

Got delivered to work today

I'm looking more forward to being able to use my old stuff as a fairly decent test bench lmao :|

Same CPU, board and RAM as me boy.

Need moar graphics.



Looks like I need to buy moar HDDs too .

Interesting that Stephen gets a higher score on cpu than me, maybe it's because i'm using the onboard graphics at the moment. Will see soon enough
