New Rig Update

I’ve been toying with the new rig. There are a few things that always seem to come up when I get something new. This system was no exception. I ended up going back to my Antec case. With the room for 7 3.5 IDE drives and 4 opticals, I just had to keep it. The Silverstone that I was trying to use just didn’t have the room for drives.
Also, the DFI Lanparty Ultra-D mobo + Nvidia IDE drivers = crap. I had tons of issues with that. I swapped to the MS generic drivers and I can access IDE drives again. As soon as I’d touch a file on a IDE drive with the Nvidia drivers installed, the system would reboot. Other than that the overclock is rock solid.
The Silverstone case is making a good home for my old Gigabyte 7N400 and 2800+ as a DVR.
