I'm corrently running on 5 x Matrox SATA drives in RAID5 for the very same reason you have stated. I found that you can easily replace motherboard, RAM, graphics card and the like, but when your disks fail hell is loose!
When writing to RAID5 in software some CPU time is spent on computing the parity data, but shouldn't be a problem if your going to use a modern CPU.
If your file server will run Linux and you will be running RAID in software, you should take a look at mdadm which is a lot better for managing your RAID array than the old RAID Tools.
BTW, here's a hdparm test of my array:
nightreaver root # hdparm -Tt/dev/md0 /dev/md0: Timing buffer-cache reads: 1444 MB in 2.00 seconds = 720.67 MB/sec Timing buffered disk reads: 298 MB in 3.00 seconds = 99.28 MB/sec
"Imagine if you needed to talk to someone on the phone, but instead of talking to them, you had to talk through an intermediary. Is there any possible way that it could be faster than talking to the person directly?
Well of course! Have you ever talked to someone who keeps rambling away about something that could have been said in a short sentence? As mentioned, runtime optimization is a possibility.
To judge for the past many security holes exploited in Windows laying home and company networks down I would say that most Windows users don't take care of their computers. These actions are only possible with a huge number of machines that aren't updated.
He uses his example to shed light on the problem at hand. I find it quite concerning that 80% of computers sent to be repaired are because of computer viruses and the like, as I would have thought that it would be due to hardware problems.
Most people who send in computers because of viruses are the ones who aren't fortunate enough to know any computer experts (as many/. readers are) able to fix their problem. In my case, all the non-experts I know (e.g. my family members) take contact to me as the first step.
In fact, a 20-ounce jumbo cup of house blend at Starbucks or Second Cup contains almost 400 milligrams of caffeine -- the upper limit of what Health Canada says an adult can consume healthily in a day.
Do as Fry - drink 100 cups of coffee and save the day.
But hey, with the new facts we know he will be drinking non-gourmet stuff or 50 cups would be enough. Well let's face it, in the 3000's a good cup of coffee will be hard to find...
Forgive me for not backing up my claim.
Here's a link to one of the Swedish ISP's, providing 100 Mbit internet for 895 SEK ~ 100 euro ~ 120 USD a month, which I would say is a quite alright price.

Well I'm a Dane (and therefore I'm obligated to hate the Swedes:)) and I'd say that in Sweeden the are much better off than us Danes. Bandwidth in Denmark costs about 400DKK ~ $60 a month for a 2048/256 ADSL line, where in Sweden the get 10/10 Mbit line capacity for 1/4 of the Danish 2 Mbit ADSL. 100 Mbit bandwidth is also quite common over there for end-users
BTW, if anybody has tried Direct Connect P2P program they'll quickly find out that the 7151.97 TB online are almost hosted alone by Swedes...
Initial analysis seems to indicate classic Blaster-style worm behaviour.
This made me think of a quote from "Broken Arrow", when Giles Prentice (Frank Whaley) is told there is a "broken arrow", he says, "I don't know what's scarier - losing nuclear weapons or that it happens so often that we have a name for it."

So your not running XP, since your still here...
T3 has a lot of tech-stuff, besides everything else a man could need (check out the cover girls).
Top notch mag!

Yeah, and we we've had that one we won't be hearing much about that for a few years.

Your right, but in many applications the ctrl+k command actually also copies the text, and then we are back to square one :(

I just heard that the next Windows version will run without problems on a dual-core CPU running at 4 to 6GHz and a minimum of 2 gigs of RAM.
