It has been about 3 1/2 years since my last build so I am reading up on all the tech that is out and tech that is on the horizon to make a new beast of a machine, but I have a few questions:

1) I have 4 74GB WD Raptor drives and I think one has corrupt sectors as my OS continues to corrupt (I have them in Raid 0), I was wondering what software I can use to diagnose the HDD.

2) In my next build I would like to use an actual Raid controller instead of the on board Raid, can anyone recommend one?

3) Has anyone any experience with the Silverstone TJ09 and a water cooling setup?

That is all for now. Thank you for your help

Oh and if anyone has a better recomendation for a case let me know, but I don't want something with LED's or is smaller then a full.

1. Just use full scan disk

2. Any more SATA onboard raid its just as good as a addon controller

3.Watercooling is pointless unless you do some serious overclocking.

Get a Thermaltake Soprano Case, or the Coolermaster CM690.

I do some serious overclocking, my last rig had a near 20 percent increase in performance.
