Well, I really don't think that's necessary, putting two raptors in a RAID 0 array, but it's your choice, and it'll be quite fast, I guess.... What kind of RAID controller will you be using ?

are you going to build the system yourself ? If yes, remember to check CPU/motherboard/RAM compatibilities.

But I guess you are going to use one of these services that build your system with the components you chose ?

I want a fast rig and its only 300 euro's for 2 raptors. I m not gonna build it myself btw.

Why not, its not that hard Martin ......

Update.

I m just about done getting a wish list for my new rig and i m about to order it.

2.223 euro. 

I need a dvd writer but i couldnt decide on the brand yet so that another 30/40 euro which means i m just a little over my 2250 euro budget.

This antec 900 has 4 fans, is it enough cooling for this rig or do i need more fans?

What you opinion on this rig and its price? Any clue how fast it will load a bf2 map with the 2 raptors in raid 0?

600W PSU is probably not enough for that system!

I talked to alot of people and they told me 600w is enough.
