Best thing about that vid was when he shot the dude on top of the tower and he falls down and hits stuff on the way. Game looks fantastic, doom 3 will have to be something special to beat this by the look of it. go unreal! yeah!

I hope so
I have been suffering with this dell mid tower since november
I love the tower but it is too small for this rig and I need to sell it to get back some money on the $480 I just spent on the 80 gig drives and the case.

Yup. Which drives are they, BTW? Are you doing RAID 1 or 0?

I've seen 3 maxtors blow out, but they were under warranty and the RMA process involves no BS from them. I've been happy with every Western Digital drive I've come across, as none of them have failed yet. The most screwed up one got was the power connector is a little loose, but I don't plan on taking it out of the fileserver anytime soon.
