Old gateway’s disks crashed, after some eight years of operation; an 450Mh Compaq Pressario. I’ve had disk crashes before, but have always had problems reinserting new ones.  Number one — it takes me a whole day to open the cabinet.

A new one was set up. This time with redundancy in mind, that is RADI1 and RADI5 (and LVM). The computer as it was assembled:

• Gigabyte GA-MA770-UD3
• Dual core AMD 8850
• 4GB ram memory
• Three 640 GB disks
