The last Xserve RAID was in G4/G5 era.
Are you sure your unit came with SATA bus controller?
If I recall correctly they should be U-ATA.

Opps yeah.. UDMA. My mistake. Too used to just using the term 'SATA' to describe anything that's non scsi these days.

Anyway. It's still a good deal if can afford the space to house one in a server rack.

A proper RAID case should cost RM1k above, be it synology or drobo. Plus drives should be around 2-3k.

yup it's edifier s2.1d, wished the iMac had the optical audio cable. but they had to use their "own" version of it. oh well. the speakers have very nice mids and treble but bass not kick enough - so basically it's nice for jazzy and stuff that is not too much bass. been thinking of getting the logitech Z2300. But can't seem anywhere to haves stocks of them.

Just back from Lowyat this evening, bought a Acer S243HL.
Was attracted by the slimness and also the unique stand.w00t!
Initially wan buy Samsung one but the dual HDMI of tis LCD with the price RM789 attracts me tongue.gif

Anyway, here's my setup at college. Sorry for the bad looking table, will be going back hometown after graduation in 1 month ^^
