I have already got the things marked with an asterix(*).

The extension system will simply act like a server although it will only provide extra hard drive space and various 5.25 drives.

If any one wants to give me a 51" Plasma or the speakers towards my set up ... Feel free

[fleccy]

i might be getting a plasma.. or a projector.

[martian2k4]

Plasm Plasma Plasma

[fleccy]

I dunno.... projector has a better atmosphere, imagine a football game on one of them :D

[daboss]

martian2k4, dem - that's the biggest speakers on earth or what?

[martian2k4]

Lmao, nah i am sure there is bigger :D

[shield]

yeah they do get bigger... ever been to a huge concert inside a huge arena?

you should see the size of those... woah

[TheDonkey]

Plasma isnt all its cracked up to be, sure its cheaper than LCD and it comes in larger sizes than LCD but it's current life expectancy isnt that long (something like 3 to 5 years) LCD is more expensive but will last a little longer...

Call me crazy but I dont feel like droppin a couple grand every 3 years on a freakin monitor.....

Oh and what, no body mentioned anyting SCSI....If your gonna have a nasty system you need some Ultra 320....the Hottness.... I only got 3 Ultra160 HDDs in a external scsi enclosure with a 4 bay Icy Dock raid cage.....everything is set up for ultra320 just ultra320 hdds are way to expensive....
