NOPE, NOT USING THE ATHLON BOARD I just remembered that it uses a chipset that is notorious for failing and I've noticed it acting up a few times myself. I don't want a malfunctioning chipset on a PC that I'll keep on for 24/7, so there goes that idea..

"No offense, but go post somewhere you will actually get HELP lol" Getting HELP is different than getting SUGGESTIONS. You see, this is why I asked for tech-savvy OTers (unlike you) because I clearly know how to set up everything, I just want some new ideas.

"With more heat comes reliability issues..." Actually, the chipset is from NVIDIA

Tested out the 1TB drive and it passed the short test. Now trying the long test. The computer itself is very loud though, I'll have to fix that somehow..

Maybe because the hard drive is a tad bit slower, it is 5400 RPM after all.

7200RPM isn't too far off from 5400RPM
