"What is the best"

Gaming PC out there??

I like the sound of the Dell XPS but it looks well 2 expensieve.

You'll have to talk louder, I can't hear you.

You should have sent it back weeks ago.

If anything is even remotely wrong with my new one it's going back.

Don't mention the 'l' word.

I can fix it tomorrow, woooo. I'll finally get a screwdriver!

You damn geeks
I know more about laptops than you.

About £1500 ish.

A neat idea, but pointless to most people.

I'm not sure whether there's a motherboard out there that can manage that. A controller card is a card that goes in a PCI slot and allows you to connect lots of disk drives, more than a motherboard usally can and they are usually faster than motherboards at RAID arrays.

7 in RAID? That would be a good effort from a motherboard. My K8VSE can handle 2 in RAID and/or 2 not in RAID. 8 in RAID is impressive though.

CMStacker.

A er... Controller card? Umm... Yes. A good one...

That must have one hell of a case and controller card.
