Impressive setup. My humble dual core with 600GB storage pales in comparison. ;)

Cheers; in the time Loco's taking to build his machine i've also bought a couple Dell Core Duo's, one's still new in the box, the other is a quad-boot surfing only machine/music/movie watching - XP and 3 linuxes that are all quite similar - Mandriva 2008.0, PCLinuxOS and TinyMe.
Used DVD Rebuilder on there the other night for a laugh, it's not a patch on the Quad Core

Not all of us are capable of $hitting gold bricks to pay for all those machines :)

Besides that Mickey Mouse got in my way...

@gm - The 3.5" optical enclosures (obviously can be used for HDD's too) are Belkin, ilike these - http://www.amazon.co.uk/Belkin-Hi-Speed-...e/dp/B0001GYNJ2 though i only buy them from eBay where they're always half that price

The HDD enclosures i use are badged as 'Allcam' though like most things they can have various names (Navigator is one, as per this link) - http://www.amazon.co.uk/External-Black-h...e/dp/B000JK769E
They also do those in SATA, i didn't know that when i was looking for an enclosure for my 6th SATA drive so i bought a USB/eSATA combo enclosure like this - http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/3-5-Portable-Exter...1QQcmdZViewItem

For notebook drives i have a few of these (they are more flexible, bigger capacity than USB sticks) - http://www.amazon.co.uk/Quality-External...04888229&sr=1-7

LOL @Loco and the gold bricks, you can't plead poverty, you were dropping those at Disneyworld i imagine. Busted :P

Busted is right!!!! He's got money... but like most of us he's a cheap BA$TARD!!! hehehe. j/k LOCO...... ;) Just look at creaks going to "eBay" for 1/2 price.....

I'd comment on my latest system but I'd just piss people off soooooo I think that LOCO's frugal purchasing is smart. :D Although that case is a POS..... hehehe. :P

Hmm, with free delivery (so what if it takes a few days) these are a real steal. I might have to grab one...

Well that's it, some 500s are sub £60 now, but with delivery, they're not far from £70. Delivered, all my 500s have worked out around the £75 mark!
This doesn't surprise me a bit though, since the 1000GB models have been steadily falling for quite some time now, I remember when they first came out and were over £200, you can have change from £140 for some now...

So far so good. ConvertXtoDVD took 28 minutes and DVD Shrink full disc 7600MB with deep analysis and max smooth took 13 minutes. I need a game to play now. Maybe look at OC'ing in the next week or two after the "new" wears off.

So you finished building then, nice. Mine's well and truly bedded in but i'm not going to overclock mine, no need; but keep us posted on your results young man, be interesting to see how you get on; I'm happy enough being able to run DVD Rebuilder alongside ConvertXtoDVD and DVD Flick, all at the same time

Not so fast batman....er, I mean pacman. Now my D: drive has disappeared into thin air and it was working (as in I was able to browse and access/use files that were contained on the drive) just five minutes ago. I had zipped up a file and was sending it via email and the PC locked up and upon reboot the drive was gone, reboot again and it's still missing...but it shows on the boot screen. So what do I do now? This drive came out of my old PC and was setup as a storage drive. Also, I'm showing a choice of two XP's to boot from, but my keyboard isn't recognized until windows boots. I think I may have installed XP on both partitions of my small drive somehow. How do I remove it from the small partition of 15 gigs that was reserved for quick recover or do I even need that?

Firstly, check the cables to the drive. If they're all tight and it still causes grief you might have a dodgy drive.
Was it used in a PC you played games with? It may have been infected with StarForce, in which case you can try flashing the firmware on it, but in reality it's probably a goner.

I've through the cables and everything looks good and I didn't play games on the old PC. In all honesty I think there is something going on with the new rig and I just need to put my finger on it.

You should be able to boot into the partition you want to use XP in and then format the small backup partition where the other OS is located.

DVD Flick was typically 20-45 minutes slower than ConvertXtoDVD on the old machine, but the Q6600 get the normal job done in a respectable time and comprible to ConvertX at 35 minutes.

Hope you're gearing up to try my usual test young man - DVD Rebuilder alongside ConvertXtoDVD and DVD Flick, all at the same time. I don't bother with timing them running together (though they run no slower), it's gotta be almost time to see what that baby's capable of :)

ps My Flick times are always longer as i only use Flick for 2part movie merges
