no, but i’m not building it for storage i’m building it as a test server with vmware so that when upgrades or patches come out to our PACS systems i can test them on it instead of in a production environment where if something goes wrong i lose my job. i’m not actually storing anything over a handful of CT/MRI images (talking a couple meg at most) if i was ACTUALLY using it for storage it wouldnt be a single 80gig drive…shit that’d last a couple hours in a production environment ---

i am building a storage server by the definition of what i do, it is a desktop because that’s all i need it for, the company doen’st have test stuff for me to use this is so i keep my ass from getting in trouble. if you worked for them you’d understand i’m not gonna explain it…and my title still holds ---
