Running 5x WoWs on a capped server using the latest intel X25 SSD

[Evilseed]

I get those frame rates on my rig. I play Crysis on very high settings ( original Crysis ) an average of 45 fps. I use 2 24' screens for wow, 5 acnts. all for just under 2200.00. my rig can be found by searching my posts 8) And yes i run through Dal on high settings ( if i want to.. why when im only looking at the main screen? ) with next to zero lag.

I said 560 combined frames per second not 45. No, it wasn't a typo

Sounds like a Cerc SATA 6 or something. Good to know its a HW controler.

Yea the key is to not get something dependent upon the OS. For example, if you are rebuilding a critical raid array and your windows OS crashes and you have a software raid... well that is super risky and you have a very super high chance of total failure. With a hardware controller if you are rebuilding a critical raid and your PC freezes, guess what? The raid continues to rebuild cuz the controller has its own cpu/memory/etc.

First, pics or it didn't happen. I would love to see the plumbing on an every day liquid nitrogen cooling system.

Second, is condensation a problem? If not, how do you keep your rig from becoming encased in ice and the subsequent water damage when it thaws?

That has to be the craziest hardware setup I've ever heard of, insane props to you Very interesting that your performance went up going from 1 SSD to 5 SSDs, I guess it really does prove that file I/O is the bottleneck for WoW. Since my wife will kill me and divorce me (not in that order) if I spent $2500 on 5 SSDs, I will have to live vicarously through your rig

The only thing that seems weird to me is the whole 5x SSD for dalaran thing... When I first fly to Dalaran, my HD obviously goes nuts. After about 30 seconds my HD hardly gets used. Very rarely as I'm running through the city will I get a few flashes as new players or whatnot load up but for the most part my HD isn't used after it initially caches everything.

Is this same vaporware as the software you were releasing "soon" ?
("My uber awesome program I've spoken about (dubbed MC) will be officially released this Monday, January 11th.")

Using symlinks and OS cache (ie more memory) is a much cheaper way to achieve good performance; but as said above: picture or it didn't happen...

Actually the raid is 4 drives not 5 (I have a 5th to test the non E SSD). However, the cost was about $1100ish per drive, making it $4400 not $2500 hehe.

Well the pics will fall into the same category of my so called vaporware (the website is built now, absolutely gorgeous, but my lawyer said I need to tag along a little EULA to the software so ppl don't sue me when they program the mouse to click their PC's self destruct button, so it'll be 1-2 more days lol). By that category I mean that I'm extremely lazy and prolly won't post picture.

Oh, I think I posted my current rig or prior rig on the DB site a long while ago with $100,000 in cash scattered around it. Search and show me the link yo!

Is it okay if kill you and take your computer?

Edit: And your job?
