Oh god this thing is fast! SCSI is such a must for new systems!

specs?

5ghz

Athlon XP 2200
1024MB DDR 2700 Ram
36.7GB Seagate Cheetah 15000RPM U160 SCSI
120GB Western Digital IDE w/8MB cache
Sound Blaster Audigy Gamer
Leadtek Geforce 4 Ti 4400 My VIVO edition
ATI TV Wonder
Plextor 12x10x32 SCSI CD-RW
Pioneer 10x/40x SCSI DVD-ROM
19" Hitachi Flat Screen monitor

So no problems with terminating the stuff, I'm assuming ;)

Nice system Eru! I see the adult biz is treating you well:thumbsup

Nope -- the cable that came with the SCSI Card had a terminator on the end and I had it so the DVD-ROM terminates in the three device 50-pin chain.

The only bad thing is that the DVD drive is rather loud when accessing files.

Wow that's a fast drive!!!

You have a fan specifically for that drive right? Most common reason why the 10K rpm scsi drives fail is because they generate heat like a mofo.

Just making sure. Nice system!

Yeah, it's a refridgerator but as hot as your system should get you might need to refashion this thing and put it in!

when i build this system i got an adaptec 39160 (dual channel server class scsi 3 card) for *home* use. figured i'd splurge and go scsi for kicks. i love it. it's fast and i can burn cd's using my scsi burner off of it even if i crashed my computer basically.. IDE is way too CPU intensive for my comforts anymore.

I am using this cooler for the SCSI drive.

Why did you get 39160? You gunna RAID or buy a dozen devices? :P

I use 19160.
