1. I all ready have the soundblaster. Just wondering if there were any benefits to having the PCI card rather than onboard. I couldn't think of any but that didnt mean there weren't any

2. I would partition the 200gb drive anyway so reinstalls wouldnt be a problem even with the music etc on the drive.

3. Doesn't have to be london just added for completeness. Just looking for what cards people are using.

1. Thats what I thought - just checking

2. Interesting point but JBOD doesn't offer any performance benefits does it? What I was really getting at was is RAID 0 nessecary/nice to have for performance reasons (as I have the controller anyway). Not sure it does JOB anyway - haven't tried it yet.

4. I could not think of any issues (I have 2 other machines with out optical drives) but didnot know id Mediaportal need a drive for any reason.

5. hmm. I was looking for some suggetions i.e. this is the case I use, its good/bad because. The case would have to Full ATX as its a ATX motherboard I'm going to use.

6. My point was do they use any special IR protocols. If they are both learing then thats fine Just checking I dont end up with another remote I cant use with my "learning" remote control.
