I have finally managed to build my new Workstation and it’s about a month old now…

Building process was rather long and tedious because I had to wait for the new Intel Wolfdale Core CPU to arrive and that took about 3 weeks being on queue…

After I got all the parts, I had another issue which was my Motherboard Bios not supporting the CPU so I had to flash it with the updated Bios…
I have finally put everything together and the Box runs like a dream…

Here are some pictures and the specifications…

• Antec 900 – Nine Hundred Ultimate Gamer Case with 200m Top Fan
• 620W Coolermaster Real Power M620 Modular PSU SLi, PCI-E, SATA, 80%+ Eff’ ATX 12V V2.3 EPS 12V V2.91
• Gigabyte GA-P35T-DQ6, iP35 Express, S 775, PCI-E (x16), DDR3 1066/800/1333, SATA II, SATA RAID, ATX
• Intel Core 2 Duo, E8400, Wolfdale Core, S775, 3.0 GHz, 1333MHz, 6MB Cache
• 2GB (2×1GB) DDR3 (1333MHz), 240 Pin, Non-ECC, Unbuffered, CAS 8-8-8-18
• 512MB Sapphire HD2600PRO PCI-E(x16) 128Bit 1000MHz GDDR2, GPU 600MHz CrossFire 2xDVI-I/HDTV Retail
• 300 GB SATA II HDD

Since this board supports up to 8 SATA II Drivers, I will be raiding 4 maybe 6 Western Digital Raptors (10000 RPM) and Stripping them in the near future…

I am just worried about the noise level of 60 000 RPM Drives, plus the workstation is really fast now… Imagine a drive upgrade

I am also planning to put in another 512MB Sapphire in there as well…

This is my first post by Windows Live Writer. Even thought I have been using the Windows Live Services from it’s beta stages but I have never tried the Live Writer up to this point.

I have mainly been using Microsoft Word and copying and pasting the content from MS Word to WordPress, this is somewhat a painful process when you have symbols like ” or ‘ in the post, so I something have to copy it in Notepad then copy it to WordPress…

My goal is to cut down the time on writing the post so I could directly use a desktop application software like Windows Live Writer to post content on to site, and I wanted to add text wrapping feature into the post without the need of looking at the code which takes time, and Time = Money!

I have been using email since I was 14 so it’s been a while… and I have always had a few Hotmail addresses during the years and mainly a hotmail person, even though I did have a few other email hosted on my Server…

I was quite excited when Microsoft introduced Custom Domains so I moved the MX record of nishv.com and pointed it to hotmail and started to use my personal email address…

This is when I wrote a post on Perfect Email System and it was pretty good until I started to get problems with Live Mail and frankly I have lost some of the old emails, so I wanted to find a solution to it. I wasn’t keen on staying with Hotmail and being a huge Google fan, I also had a choice on using Google Apps to host my domain with Google. Matter of fact, I signed up with Google Apps when it came out with my other domain nishv.net but didn’t have the time to do so…

So I pointed the MX record of my domain to Google Apps and so far I am quite pleased at the results but the painful part was moving about 1GB worth of E-mails from Hotmail to Google Hosted, but I am proud to say I have successfully accomplished this task and it did take me a few hours…
