Asus P7P55D-E Pro Intel i7-860 @ 3.5 GHz Zalman CNPS10X Extreme 2x4GB g.skill ddr3-1600 cl7 Sapphire Radeon HD 6970 2GB *ADDED 240GB OCZ Vertex 3 *REMOVED 2x1TB Seagate 7200.12 RAID0 *REMOVED 250GB Seagate 7200.10 1.5TB Seagate LP Creative X-Fi Titanium Pro PCIe Corsair TX 750W CM HAF 922
I finally upgraded the gaming rig to an SSD last month. The RAID0 threw an error for the 2nd time in a few weeks. It served me well, SMART data shows almost 19k hours on the drives. That's about 26 months and I got those drives about 27 months ago LOL. One of the drives gave an error code in Seatools so I'll RMA it.
Overall it was a good decade with RAID0 7200rpm HDs, I had 2x60GB then 2x300GB before the 2x1TB and this is the first time a drive went down, but SSDs are running the show now.
I also got a fancy new NAS to take over storage duties:
Synology DS412+ (Atom D2700 2.13 GHz dual core, 1GB RAM) 4x3TB Seagate ST3000DM001 in 9TB RAID5 array
It flies as expected, 100 MB/s reads and write over GB LAN. The 1.5TB LP I was using to back up the data on the RAID0 is on download duty in the main rig (replacing an old 250GB that has over 35k hours on it). I was outgrowing both the 250GB download drive and the 1.5TB RAID0 storage partition and its backup anyways. I'll probably get some enclosures for the 1TB drives and use them to back up the less replaceable older stuff on the NAS since they aren't bulletproof. |

It's been about 3 1/2 years since I did my last build. My XP system I built in January 2009 is still going, but I wanted to build a SFF PC using a Shuttle Barebones system.
Motherboard/Case: Shuttle SZ68R5 CPU: Intel Core i5-2400 3.1 GHz RAM: 2 x 4GB (8GB total) Kingston KVR1333D3N9K2/8G DDR3 1333 Optical Drive: LG Super Multi Blu Blu-Ray Disc Writer BH14 HDD1 (boot drive): Intel 520 Series 180GB SSD HDD2 (data drive): WD Caviar Black SATA 6 1TB Video Card: XFX GT-520M-GN DDR3 2GB RAM OS: Windows 7 64 bit SP1 OEM I also installed a wireless card, Asus PCE-N15
The video card was originally going to be an EVGA GTX550Ti, but it is a 2 slot wide card, and was too large to fit into the Shuttle case. I am going to RMA it back to Newegg. |

Replaced the innards of my general use/media server: Mobo - swapped ASUS M4A785-M AM3/AM2+/AM2 AMD for a ASRock H77M LGA 1155 Intel H77 CPU - swapped AMD Phenom 9850 Black Edition 2.5GHz Socket AM2+ 125W Quad-Core for a Intel Core i3-2100 Sandy Bridge 3.1GHz Dual Core Hard Drive - swapped Western Digital Caviar Blue WD2500AAJS 250GB for a ADATA S510 Series AS510S3-120GM-O 2.5" 120GB SATA III Added in G.SKILL Ripjaws X Series 16GB (2 x 8GB) 240-Pin DDR3 SDRAM DDR3 1333. I also will be adding an external WD 3TB replacing a WD 1TB and setting up a 3 drive RAID array. Which one I haven't yet determined. She might only be a dual core but I can get from my post screen and on the internet in 10-12 seconds. Edit - I added CyberPower Enterprise GreenPower UPS to protect my computers and drives from all the surges and blackouts we've been having. I know this is made for a lot more than what I run but that was exactly what I wanted. I never buy the bare minimum. If I had to I wouldn't buy it. |

I added an audio and video card in September, I've had the HDDs since it's original incarnation so I can remember which brands go with which storage size I'll update later when I get home.
