Go for it dude, it's only money and spending is what it's for. You could get hit by a bus tomorrow!
I on the other hand have to wait until Christmas before I can afford a decent HDTV to do this game justice!!
In 60 years, when I get downloaded and merge with the internet becoming a benevolent entity that runs the planet and I'm all knowing about fucktards like you, don't be surprised if burly men turn up and do nasty things to you for the rest of your short and painful life.
Acorn Archimedes A3000, 4MB RAM, ARM2 CPU (8MHz 32bit RISC) running RISC OS 2.
Also put PCs to shame. And Amigas.
It could even do hardware emulation of it's predecessor, the Acorn BBC Microcomputer.
All multi-threaded as well.
Well, it's got 1GiB of RAM and it's only a MythTV backend server and file server. That should be loads, yes?
Although I can add another GiB if I ever need to.
I'm doing exactly the same thing. I will initially have 3 500GB Western Digital RE2 SATA drives in RAID 1 & RAID 5 configuration (RAID1 for/boot, RAID5 for / and/swap). I will expand this to 4 and 5 drives as and when I need the space. I will be using Ubuntu Linux on the machine (MythTV backend server) and you can indeed add more drives to a RAID5 array as well as expand the file systems contained by it (including ext3?). I'm no expert and I still have to learn how to do all this of course!
What I'm aiming for in my machine is storage space that won't be immediately unrecoverable if a drive failure occurs. I will still backup my critical data (photos, music, email, OS install) to DVD but I can live with losing recorded TV, DVDs, etc.
Here's some more questions.
1)/swap space. At the expense of speed I'm proposing to have/swap on an LVM partition over RAID5. This is so that the machine will not crash in the event of a drive failure. I know I can stripe/swap directly across multiple disks (no RAID, no LVM, just flat partitions) but I read that if one of those disks fails the OS will probably crash? I mean, it makes sense that it will, doesn't it?
2) I'm probably going to go with ext3 for reliability. But XFS has the cool stripe alignment thing, will this really help performance that much? Or another way of putting it, how much will ext3 NOT having stripe alignment hurt performance?
3) Does XFS' strips alignment even work at all with LVM?
4) Would I be insane to use XFS without some sort of UPS? I hear that it really doesn't like to have it's plug pulled.
Because
A) I'm British and I want a proper British gun *twiddles handlebar moustache, sips tea*
B) Hey, I just like to be different.
C) Fires a proper bullet, when the apocalypse comes I want people I shoot to stay on the floor.
D) Reliable.
E) I will be able to take down mutant super animals created by all the fallout.
F) Profit?
(PS, sorry, I don't actually have an answer for the poster though. She should probably use Amarok though. As a windows user she will be used to slow, bloated and obtuse software.)
(PPS, to the guy moaning about iTunes/Amarok, have you noticed just how polluted the iTunes interface is now it's moved to Windows? My ex-girlfriend and noted technophobe was able to use MacOS X from the get go with no instruction including iTunes but was no longer able to do so with Windows iTunes!)
(PPPS, Hey, there's more content in my Ss than in my post)
I write industrial application for rugged WinCE devices and I have several threads. One for the GUI and several doing async background tasks like retrieving data over GPRS and compressing/uncompressing files.
These guys can hand out Penalty Charge Notices if they see you parked where you shouldn't, failing
to pick up dog mess or see you litter. The camera iss there to make sure you:
1) Don't abuse them or don't get away with abusing them (they're not armed police, there just guys in yellow jackets)
2) Don't get away with it.
I don't really consider that surveillance or Orwellian. It seems like common bloody sense to me, these people shouldn't be doing this in the first place and they deserve to get filmed so they can't get away with it.

20th December 2006 and I'm watching my girlfriend Rachel die from sudden congestive heart failure.
I remember thinking, "Why isn't there a machine to pump the blood so her heart can rest?"
I hope this thing gets everywhere to save other people and their partners.

Heh, but that's my job! Technology, business and local government.
It's used to gather evidence of offensive behaviour towards the traffic wardens.
If it ever gets used for something like that we'd just do something about it.
