I used to work in semiconductor industry... so its still a bit of a hobby for me

It keeps the techy part of my brain ticking over...lol

Do I save money, Probably yes, but the main thing is I get something that does exactly what I want it to do, which is important to me.

I have had 2 hard dives fail on this pc and never noticed a thing because I was running 2 drives in parralle1, (RAID) and all my data was still safe.
