You can't show me many sticks of memory that will run DDR400 at 2-2-2-5 and DDR533 at 3-3-3-8. And like I said, if you have problems, how many companies will get on the phone with you about overclocking? Or RMA your memory becuase it won't run stable at 500MHz?
2 years from now, this will...
Get a USB 2.0 wall-powered enclosure that accepts IDE drives. Then you take out the person's drive and just mount it and power on. Newegg has them for like $20. You can find a dozen uses for these things.
Do you really need RAID5 for a home file server? A simple RAID1 setup will do what you want unless you and 5 buddies are streaming pr0n over gigabit LAN.

To me that's pretty good! It will run 533 at the same timings for 2.45GHz completely...
Not all Bartons are unlocked. It depends on the build week and it's pretty much a crapshoot. ALL Barton MOBILE CPUs are unlocked, but not all motherboards will run them. ASUS A7N8X Ultra boards WILL run a Barton mobile.
Mobile 2500s are good for at least 2.2GHz even undervolted. Because...
There is nothing like a SONY trinitron for gaming. I'm still using a Multiscan G400 19". I have a Dell 17" flat-panel that is much better for browsing but games just look great on the SONY.
I've used mobos and vid cards refurb from newegg. They are still running strong in friend's budget machines. But I've always picked GOOD ones, like ASUS boards and ATI factory cards etc.
The good thing is, Newegg will back it up for I think 30 days to protect you against a DOA or obvious...
