Used to be called "Fingers" cos I play Guitar.....then somehow turned into "Filthy Fingers" ...then it got truncated to Fiithy Phil (my first real name).....and I've used it as my signon since.

I was in Molten Core doing a 40 man raid at the time (Sydney Australia)....saw it on TV when the first tower collasped. Was in tears when the second one fell and people jumping out of windows.

10/10 cos each to their own :D as long as you are happy. it doesnt matter

Thought about the 900D, but I do have a Caselab M8 sitting in the garage which I'm thinking of switching over to. (see below pic for previous build) Since I'm replacing the mobo/CPU this weekend. I might just do it all in one hit........but I need to order more drive cages from Caselabs to fit all 16 hard drives. By the way, Hardware raid is the way to go. Unfortunately the new Raid card got damaged during transit. So I can't tell you yet what I think of it. I'm currently using an Adaptec 6805 which is only a 8 port raid card. No real issues with my current raid card. I have x2 arrays each with 4x3TB each in raid 5. Write speeds from my SSD to the raid is approx 350-400MB/s using 6Gb/s drives. Setup have not changed for the past 2 years. Once I get the replacement card, it will be the first time migrating all the data across to x16 3TB drives Gonna try raid 2 arrays in raid 6.

Nah man, doesn't even sweat .....Hanging out this weekend to put in new Maximus VI mobo and 4770K CPU ..... Old Maximus IV and 2600K will be handed down to my GF :P

Bump because it's so leet!! hahaha No...just a quick update Maximus VI received 4770K received x8 WD REDs 3TB received New Adaptec 16 Port raid card - FAILED damaged in transit......returned back to US.

Update --- ASUS Maximus VI and Haswell 4770K on order + Adaptec 71605 16 Port raid card + 8x 3TB WD RED on the way. Anyone know any good drive bays (4 bays required) I can mod to my rig??? Ideally it will fit between my PSU and existing HDDs
