Actually, if i had a basement (and lots of cash), i would convert it into an arcade room full of 80's games. And with a full-size snooker. Oh and a bar.
PW your config looks like a server (Matrox gfx card..). For a server IDE even in RAID is less than ideal (slow random access times, low reliability). For the storage subsystem the ideal would be:
- LSI Logic RAID 50 controller in 64-bit (let's use that 64 bit PCI slot on the Tyan...)
- 15 x 73GB Cheetah X15.3
But if it's intended to be a personal computer - it would be an Adaptec 29320 with a single 73GB X15 for system and one 144GB 10K.6 for storage (or more, up to 14, if more storage is needed). And the GFX card would be either the GF4 Ti4600 or a NV30.
The monitor would be one of those neat plasma displays. 71" that rocks.
Of course for the same price one could buy a sports car or even a small appartment... Being geek and all i'll opt for the ultimate PC.
