I think I'll keep two rather than one in case I decide to do storage clustering with two boxes. But if they sell like hotcakes here, profit will have to take priority.
Oh and my cheapo PERC 5/E arrived in mail yesterday complete with a TBBU.
Next on my shopping list; 4U 48 drive SAS/SATA hotswap DAS. Adding more storage will be as simple as chaining multiples of those up to the PERC 5/E. 96TB here I come...

That sounds like me. Other than Windows with very few other software (Firefox, Nero Micro, iTunes), I only have ~60GB of games installed, ~30GB of Maiden stuff and that's it. :-/ I don't even know why I bought a 1TB HDD.

500,000 Points I have been struck badly with the upgrade virus. In the last month I have bought the following:
Samsung 2343bwx (a second one)
New Water block for a video card I have yet to buy
new Chipset block for my Rampage Extreme
2nd 120mm Rad for my cm690 case (that makes a 2x120 and 2 1x120mm rads)
2x 60GB OCZ Agility SSD's
3 1TB Green Drives for my filer server
1 500GB drive for my file server
a 3:2 sata backplane to accompany the 5:3 I already have in the server
16gb SDHC card, 16G MicroSDHC card
Internal 2.5" adapters for my SSD's
And finally
I'm looking to buy some more ddr3 1600 2GB or 4GB
I'm also in the market for a 3rd samsung 2343bwx Monitor
also a radeon 5770
The virus is almost unbearable.
Also some non pc related stuff, I bought a new rock climbing harness, new carabiners, and almost bought an HD helmet cam last week.
