Inspired by Itsmeok, i decided to document my build from start to finish. After scanning the forums for ages and looking for issues that I might run into, I feel I'm prepared enough to get going! Yesterday I bought the hardware for my first MD:

Mobo: Asus P5N7A-VM CPU: Intel Core2 Duo E7400 RAM: 2GB (2x1GB) Corsair TwinX DDR2 GFX: Nvidia 9300 onboard mobo HDD: 1TB Hitachi Deskstar Case: Antec NSK2480 v2 (uk) PSU: 380 Watt incl w/ case TV: Hauppage PVR-150

For my core I'm using some existing hardware. It's a Gigabyte Nforce 3 socket 939 board (i'll get the model later) with 1GB ram and a 4200 X2 CPU which i've just bought to give it some more horsepower. Disk-wise it's got a 250G IDE drive and a couple of 80GB sata drives which are currently striped. Still not sure what to do here, i'll probably make a decision once I see what LMCE's raid capabilities are like.
