BTW nice set up.

No noticable difference, barely minimal. Me and you both know that statistically Raptor is better but the small differences wont show with us. IMO it's better to get a few small capacity Caviar blacks and RAID0 them which would be cheaper and more cost effective. I just had bad luck with my HDD's as I had to RMA 2 of them shame the data had no back ups so I lost 80gb of music half of which is very scarce to find on the interwebz!
Upcoming changes are a 2nd monitor, another 2x2gb of dominators and a Corsair H50 enclosed water cooler. New mobo maybe too.
