cool! must be a load off, I've been debating with my brother about his issue's being motherboard or psu related. His RAID is so unstable that we had to pull all his sata drives out and use one drive on the IDE cable. I've seen a couple reports of his motherboard brand having issues with the sata raid, but they seam to be related to voltage/psu, but stems from the motherboard voltage regs or sata-controller itself?.. Now he's got four or five raptor paper weights till he gets a stable platform
