Admittedly, because I'm only using SSDs, I only have 2TB of storage on my laptop

I have a 200GB SSD as my main system drive, and a 1TB HDD that is dedicated as the install location for Steam and other games. This setup seems to work best for me.

Whatever you do, DO NOT buy a Hybrid drive, those are complete shit.
We tried them at work, and they are complete fail.

Glad I got a mobo that could handle PCIe speeds that I couldn't afford back then in a video card. I am jumping 2 generations of card and an entire specification improvement, for less than $250 (after rebate).

Shipped today, woohoo. Hopefully here early enough Friday that I can install it and reload my system and be done in time for LOL by Friday night.

LOL is the game you choose to try out your brand new graphics card!?

Shit yeah.

This is like buying a new Lamborghini and then having your grandfather take it for a spin...in your backyard.

Received, installed, Win7 reloaded, LOL patched up.
7.9 on the windows rating whatever that is.

I know.... most of this PC is 3 years old according to my newegg order history.

My LOL ping dropped from 120 to 85 with the Win7 reinstall. I wonder if that is coincidence or if I had some shitware on my system somewhere. Will have to look at my ping again tonight when I fire it up.

If I have a mobo that has 3.0Gb/s SATA ports, is it worth betting a WD Black HD that has 6GB/s speed? newegg doesn't have any Black at 3.

WD Blacks are at 3 Gb/s. NewEgg.

Ah. Sometimes their whittle-it-down algorithms return different results.
Don't need one that huge, though. This is the wife's PC I am thinking about speeding up a little. Right now it has a WD Caviar drive (IIRC) and it is slow as hell. Her mobo only has SATA 2.

Pardon my ignorance, but what could I do with one of these?

I have never had any opportunity to play with a rack-mounted server. Could I put it on my rack, put in a couple hard drives, load up Windows Home Server 20xx and just use it? Is there a catch, some reason why it would not work for me, personally?

Looking at the pic, I'm not sure I even see a monitor port. I think I see a couple USBs. How do you even install an OS on one of these?
edit - found another site with a rear view, there's all the ports.

It's just a PC in a fancy case and a fancy name. I doubt you'll have driver issues with Windows Home Server.
