Re: IvyBridge i3-3220T + Intel DH77EB (+RAID5/ReFS)

Thinking of a similar build but with the Asus P8H67-M PRO/CSM because of the ATA port so I can keep using my CF card for the OS :)

Currently have a P3 1Ghz with 4x WD Green 1TB with Linux mdadm RAID10 with ext4, used to have RAID5 with xfs but migrated because of RAID5 problems.

That would be me, but to a lesser extend, my headphone jack is fine ;)

Anyhow, I will most likely order from NCIX.com or DirectCanada.com (Canada's newegg's?) Edit: As for the SATA issu...

Recommended, readily available and IN PRODUCTION hard drive?

I know the Samsung P80 is the recommended reference and even though it's somehow discontinued, I think I managed to locate down one store who still have these left, priced at 65 for the SP0842N (newer?) and 75 for the SP0802N (older?) I'm not in the mood to do ebay hunting, buy a second hand drive w...

P3-1GHz? It's a processor that runs off the +5v line, right? That means the FSPxxx-60THN is out since it's made for +12v systems and the rails will go out of spec. I need the PSU for my A64, not my P3 But good thinking, not sure about this one, maybe I should find a older ATX 1.x PSU for my P3 and ...
