    Those are good deals but I was wanting to get one of the WD Black 6GB/sec HDD.
    The BambiKiller has matching WD Black 6GB/sec 1TB HDDs mirrored. That's 12GB/sec -- at least in theory.

    Edit:

    I still have to wait 2 or 3 more weeks before I can finish; hopefully by then I will have come to a decision... I'm at a bit of a fork-in-the-road and need to decide which direction that I want to take this project. Basically, I know I can Annihilate the Hammer; it's a rather simple equation of financial proportions. Although ego boosting for myself, at the same time it would be rather fiduciarily irresponsible and an inefficient use of my resources.

    Mirrored? I was thinking about getting mine chromed... I just had a "hot-rod-days" flashback.

    I was in Fry's this morning picking up some stuff and lo and behold they had the Cooler Master Megablow 200mm fans with blue LED's... how could I resist and only $19 for each.

    Unfortunately they didn't come with a MP3 player or more importantly the Anti-Silver-Hammer heating seeking missiles but such is life.
