    What a nightmare. Since I was going to have the case open I took it out to the garage to hit it with the air compressor. In doing so I must of loosened up one of the SATA cables used in my raid array.

    First issue was I had to dump my two port video card and go back to on board video so I could free up a PCI slot, I haven’t noticed any difference in quality from that change.

    Then because I had the on board video disabled I had to reset the CMOS to get video again, to lazy to swap the NIC and VGA card. This caused me to have to set all my BIOS settings again. This is what I originally thought was wrong with my RAID array.

    Just when I was about to give up and delete the array it told me one drive was not functional, this was after about 10 reboots and a lot of staring at the BIOS. So I opened the case again and pulled and plugged every SATA cable and wallah, I was up and running.

    And the new NIC has fixed all my Live TV pixelation, networked video freezes, fast XBOX syncing and when I finish watching a video the delete,start and resume prompt comes up instantly.

    If it wasn’t for the great on-board video AMD has I’d be tempted to go Intel next round.
