So last week on Thursday the components for Deepblue Mk2 arrived just before I left for work. I put it together that night, then the next day I partitioned off 50GB, installed XP on it and took it to Scott's for the inaugural LAN. The next 6 days were solid confusion of "Why the hell won't it recognize all 3 drives in the array?! Why does it bluescreen during install?! WTF?!" and such. I still don't know why it wouldn't correctly register all 2.25TB in one array, but the bluescreen issue was caused because Vista x64 hates more than 2GB of ram. At least it does until KB929777 is installed. So now, after a week of being taunted by its sexy black lines, blue lights and 30" of widescreen goodness, it's all good

Oh, and transferring 700GB of... everything takes a long time. Like, a really long time.
