Pics of my new setup!

[baritb]

This is the third full system I've built. Yes, I agree that 6 hard drives is a bit excessive (I've always had this strange fear of running out of disk space). Let me know what you think...

*ASUS P5AD2-E Premium (Intel 925XE)
*Pentium 4, 3.46 Ghz Extreme Edition, 1066 FSB
*Corsair XMS DDR2-675 2x512 MB
*X-Connect Modular 400W PSU (powering mobo and optical drives)
*X-Connect Modular 500W PSU (powering all 6 hard drives)
*Western Digital Raptor, 10,000 RPM SATA, 2x74 GB in Raid 0
*Western Digital Raptor, 10,000 RPM SATA, 2x36 GB in Raid 0
*Western Digital, 7,200 RPM IDE, 2x120 GB in Raid 0

The tower looks like a Home Theater Sub box.

Where did you get the CPU usage indicator?

Looks like he can have a huge amount of 5 1/4" bays that are convertable to floppy sized bays. 6x 5 1/4" for sure...

I can't remember where I got it but it's called the L.I.S 2 Premium. It actually does a lot more than just show CPU usage, I use it to control my case fans and it can also display case and CPU temps.

What do you think of the Extreme Edition CPUs? Are they worth the extra $$?

Always wondered if they are just cannot see spending all that money to find out ;)

Under no circumstances are they worth the extra money. Intel's own non-EEs outperform them at reduced cost, and AMD (not just the FX-55) beats them in most areas anyway.
