happy to say 'da beast' runs very well! Vista Home Premium and all!
Been a year plus, now...upgrade time.

21012 Noctua NF-S12-1200 120MM Ultra Quiet Cooling Fan 1200RPM 81M3/H 17DBA Molex 2 $23.82 $47.64


I am doubling my RAM to the max...8GB
What I want to do, is use the 150GB SATA 10000RPM drive exclusively for my operating system(s)...Partition in half and use Vista Home Premium and Linux. Is this a good idea?

I needed the storage...so I think this solves my plans for the future too...as well as speed things up.
