Having said that, I'd be happy if Scan moved into mini-ITX market. The Intel D201GLY2 mobo could make basis of many a small HTPC or Home Server :)

Re: SCAN2HEXUS : Recommend products to us :)
I wouldn't expect the RAM. Scan reps have said quite a few times around this board there is no interest in different RAM.

Thirded :)
Be aware that some of the sellers in the uk that are quoting stock and selling this item then actually sending out HD321KJ! One of the websites even said (Model Number May Vary!) The only place i've found them is a german company, that you can purchase through a uk website but they are overpriced at £66. I've filled up 2 machines with 4 of these drives each and it was expensive but worth it. Probably the best drives i've ever bought. 4 of them generate more heat and noise than one, but it's quiet reasonable (better than my last 3 drive system). I have concerns about the platter quality, and they only come with a 3 year warranty but overall i think they are the best drives around.
Btw, if your thinking Raid 0 - it isn't worthwhile in my opinion as you get 0 realterm speed gains and if one of your drive dies your in major trouble. Far better to have small (10% partitions) at the start of each drive, give each partition a fixed size swap (let C: have the lowest priority and smallest swap) and split your windows, program files, TEMP, User folders across the partitions and then defrag them to optimize the swap position, that way you can increase the data supplied on the sata bus as windows can read and write and access the most used areas on the seperate drives at the same time (well sometimes, it is micro$oft remember!).
Re: SCAN2HEXUS : Recommend products to us :)
I've seen the HD322HJ at Tekheads, but I have no idea how good their service is.
Another product which will find its buyers: Antec Three Hundred.
