So I think by 2525 it will be a little long in the tooth. Tina: What do you really want to do with the machine anyway? Seriously get a good spec m/c with a decent (fast) quad or six-core, a lot of memory and a LOT of disk and make sure that the disks have plenty of cache...and get it built by someone you KNOW will be around the day after tomorrow. That Seagate disk is too new at this point, go for more of something smaller. PLEASE don't go custom unless you have the capability to maintain it.
