Fair point. TBH I probably won't do that anyway and Instead get 2 500GB drives in RAID 0 for better performance. It's so unlikely they will fail.

Senryo, the mounting kit allows you to install two 2.5" SSD/Hard Drives into a standard 3.5” drive bay of a PC case. I'm using RAID 1 mirror as these drives are for storage of data. Mirroring the drive ensures the data is backed up if one of the drives fails.

Some changes after more thinking: Motherboard: Gigabyte GA-X58A-UD3R Intel X58 (Socket 1366) DDR3 Motherboard - £158.99 CPU: Intel Core i7 930 2.80GHz (Bloomfield) (Socket LGA1366) - OEM - £229.99 RAM: Corsair XMS3 6GB (3x2GB) DDR3 12800C9 (1600MHz) Tri-Channel (TR3X6G1600C9) - £141.98...

Yeah its finding the right cable that is the problem. i can't seem to find these boxes of Cat6 cable about. And find them at a nice cheap (reasonable) prices too.

Here's a basic picture of what I am trying to pull off:

Hi, I have just setup a brand new Windows XP Pro PC. it has two accounts on it. On admin and one limited. The admin account plays sound. The limited account does not play sound. I can't see any hardware conflicts or errors. Does anyone have any ideas why this might happen...

K, does anyone know where you can buy Cat6 cable in bulk/reel for cheap in the UK?

K few more questions. First one, whats the difference between: Cat6 350MHz UTP Solid PVC CMR Cable Cat6 550MHz UTP Solid PVC CMR Cable Secondly, do I need to make a crossover or Patch cable? These cables confuse me hehe. I'm pretty sure I have patch only in my current setup. Can you...

Well, my walls are brick so I will be drilling a whole outside. Running each cable up the outside of the wall and up back inside into the loft. The cables will be sealed with some kind of outdoor tape to protect them to.

K I'm going to buy either of these switches: Linksys 10/100/1000 8-port Gigabit Switch - £127.32 http://www.ebuyer.com/product/54755 Netgear ProSafe GS108 8-port Gigabit Desktop Switch - £66.73 http://www.ebuyer.com/product/47407/show_product_overview They look ok?

K, please bare with me if I do sound like a bit of an idiot but. If I use Cat5e/Cat6 cabling then can I connect this up to a RJ11 jack? Else how do I plug it into my modem?

Sorry you have confused me here?

K but wouldn't Cat 6 still be advised as it is higher quailty and more future proof? No more than £100. Although I was looking at this: Linksys 10/100/1000 8-port Gigabit Switch - £127 http://www.ebuyer.com/product/54755 Are you saying I should have the ADSL Modem/Router next to my...
