Farout, I won't even ask how it runs, heh. Awesome!

It's pretty smooth. Smash set it up with a 2tb internal raid array so it has no trouble with reading data. It's primarily for HD video editing, hence the 8 cores needed to push uncompressed 10 bit HD video. I'm ordering a 4tb fibre channel array (Smash again) once the dust settles. Logic is going to fly, no doubt. I'm getting 263mbs read/write times now that the raid card is fully operational.

The one thing that sucks? Re-installing and re-authorising 5 years worth of software and plug ins... not to mention the TC Powercore not being very happy on Intel.

Sweeeet.
