Well got it all set up last night except for the RAID 0, then woke up this morning to find out I needed a 3.5inch floppy to put the RAID driver in while installing windows....

You guessed it... no 3.5inch. So I ripped the one out of the dell and have it hanging out the side, and I begin the long search for a 3.5 inch floppy. Bingo, deep within my "disk" drawer I find one.
I proceed to build the disk. And boot up the windows CD.... When I selected the drivers I got some wierd error.   So I take the 3.5, stick it in my laptop (remember its out of my old dell) and try to refomat the disk... no go... now Im screwed...I then dig through my laptop bag for work and low and behold a 3.5 disk. It formats.. and finally problem solved.

So here I sit office destroyed, wires and drives hanging out the side of my new/old computers.

It..... has that smell.......you know that burning plastic smelll...... it smells like ...... VICTORY!!!
