However he seems to know his stuff.
Especially when it comes to charging you too much.
Let's face it, you don't seem to need a Cray-2 - you have a five-year-old Celeron - so either get the deal de jour from an established company or beat down a local supplier and keep the guts of what you already have. Two grand is far too much (I built something similar with twin 500GB disks for 450 pounds - about 1250 dollars).

PS if you need a competitive system builder in SYD please PM me. I receive no kickbacks as (a) I don't need them and (b) he's too cheap. The only reason I'd recommend him is that he went into his shop on a Sunday in 1994 to sell me a 2x CD reader. It cost $400.
