I would like to see a board with integrated blowers (Like laptop fans), that force air through the heatsinks on the board and exhaust out the vent present in the rear of most cases above the MB. Keeping the chipset isolated by a casing and cooling it independently would be a minor thing, but it...

Hey... They could make it work... What they need to do is to make it a deep shooter with management/RPG elements without thumb sucking or easy modo... Then I will be quite satisfied. Or... It will be the next brotherhood of steel... :/

I don't know about performance... But the system is running fine and I have both partitions up... Thanks for all the help.

Hmm... I'll try a few of these ideas... Thanks for the help... If something ends up not working, I'll post again.

Wait a sec... Do you mean all I need to do is partition the drive? All I need is an <2TB first partition? Then I just go and partition the rest of the drive in OS?

Alright, i think i got my answer... I am going to try an method using matrix raid to slice the array into multiple "disks in name only", and see how well that works.

Not meaning to sound rash, But I am hoping to get this system finished this sunday... Could someone point me to an good guide on using the GPT system in RAID? EDIT: I may have found an alternative... Anyone here have any experience using volume sets? They say I could just make two volume sets...

Alright... Could some one give me an basic step by step on using GPT to make the 4 tb RAID array? I have already mentioned the 50-450-1500-2000 partitioning... I just need to have an easy reference on how to do it. (Just give me the general terms, I'll look up the methods to do it on my Mobo.)

back to the partitioning... Would 50 gigs be enough for a windows 7 install? Home premium OEM before you ask.

Did you have a boot partition? or was that only 1 partition? Edit: I've been looking up methods to break the limit. GPT seems to be my answer. Would this set up work? 50 gig OS partition 450 gig Programs 1.5 TB Media 2 TB storage (GPT partiton)

Two things... 1. Would 50gig be enough? 2. Do i just use that program at any time after installing my OS? Like just after I get everything set?

So you are saying I should make my OS and main file partition the first 15% of the array? so up to the first 600 gigs or so would be fastest? Hmm... Hows this? (Yes, I know I won't get exactly 4000 Gigs out of 4x 1tb drives) 50 gig OS partition 450 gig Program partition 1500 gig media...

Will I see any real benefit short-stroking the drive versus just partitioning the first section of the drive to the Os and programs?

Did more research, Ignore my questions about short stroking, it isn't going to give me what I need, Ill just partition it right.
