My HD installation, thanks for tips

I wanted to go with WD black scorpio but after hearing from and here and other reviews that it had problems I went with the Hitachi travelstar 7200..
Kudos for Newegg. $98 free shipping with a $30 rebate and I got it the next day, wow.
I did it myself after hearing that the apple store was backed up and wanted $85
I printed out the instructions of 6 pages and placed the screws on each page.
The only difficult part was getting the front part of the keypad cover off. it snaps in so it has to snap off. Also getting the ribbon cable off which is stuck on the old HD needs to be done carefully.
Other than that when I got everything back together it wouldn't boot up..
Oh bummer, what's wrong, what did I do, I did a great job.
Started taking it apart again and saw nothing wrong, checked all the connectors.
then I noticed after putting the Ram back in I didn't have it all the way in.. duhhh.
then it booted right up. Put in my os10.5 used disk utility to format, plugged in my Carbon Copy backup and booted up from that drive then copied all files back and made my boot camp partition and away we go.
Bu the way, you cannot hear the HD at all, no vibration and what I have noticed so far that it boots up much faster.
I haven't done any pictures editing in PS yet, I am sure things will run faster there where It was getting slow on my old hd with only 5 gigs of mem left.

Travelstar drives may have improved, but they have less than a stellar past reputation. Keep your data backed up*:

App tries to send mail via Thunderbird, "PostMail error# 2" is shown. All my collegues with the same installation do not have this problem. Thanks for your time

When a external application tries to send an email via Thunderbird i get an error message, roughly translated it says: "Something went wrong with PostMail, error number 2"
My collegues have the same setup, they have no problem what so ever when sending mail via this way. Any tips would be most welcome. Thanks for your time.

I spilled a small amount of wine on my macbook pro, I know, killing myself over this! I dried it fully but 24 hours later the keys are very sticky and it won't find the Bluetooth module - everything else seems to be working fine. Thanks for any tips!

I spilled a small amount of wine on my macbook pro keyboard, I know, killing myself over this! I dried it fully but 24 hours later the keys are very sticky and it won't find the Bluetooth module so I can't use my magic mouse - everything else seems to be working fine. Thanks for any tips!

Your keyboard will never be right again; it needs to be replaced. There's no effective way to clean sticky stuff out of it. Your Bluetooth module may have been shorted out and destroyed, and it probably isn't dry yet after only 24 hours.
Take your machine in for repair, and expect a hefty bill in the hundreds of dollars.

Hi Abhishek,
I'm trying to install EP 6.0 SR1 on Aix and DB2. I'm having problems with Secure Store installation step (Encryption: JCE and Crypto Toolkit).
Did you have any problems with this ? From which place did you get the JCE file ?
Thanks for your help, I really appreciate it !

New Build - Looking for Tips

So I have purchased the components listed in my Sig and getting ready to set everything up, just wanting to get some tips/advice on the best way to go about it.
My biggest question is concerning RAID, as this is the first time I have set one up. Any tips, guides, etc. on how best to accomplish this on my MB is appreciated. I am wanting to end up with a 1TB RAID 1+0 (4 500GB drives paired up, both pairs RAID 1, then one pair RAID 0 of the other pair). Am I correct in assuming it is best to plug only 2 in (SATA 1&2) setup the RAID 1 on those, then plug the other 2 in (SATA 3&4) and set those up as RAID 1, then tie everything together as with RAID 0? Or can I plug them all in and do it all at once? The instructions look fairly straight forward, just looking for some clarity and actual user input.
Do I need to update my BIOS? I haven't tried booting at all, so not sure what I am starting with, but I notice in the CPU compatibility the same CPU I have lists Version 10.4. Should I stick with what I have and only upgrade if I am having issues, or should I upgrade from the start.
I have a SATA Blu-Ray burner, and have seen a few things mentioning a SATA ODD coming up under RAID configurations. Is this an issue, is there a certain SATA port I should use to avoid this, certain settings I need to pay attention to, or does it matter?
Regarding memory, I read (in a sticky) that fewer memory sticks result in faster performance due to Dual Channels. I was under the impression that if all 4 slots were filled you would have 2 groups, each using Dual Channel. Am I incorrect in that? If faster performance (MHz-wise) is achieved by only using 2 sticks, will I get better overall results by removing 2 sticks (leaving only 4GB) or will the additional memory compensate for the speed loss? (The RAM is rated as being Dual Channel, if that makes a difference).
Does anyone have any general computer building tips? I have built a number of them before, but would like some input on the best/most efficient/fewest problems way is. All previous builds have been done with default configurations, if anyone has suggestions for some settings that they recommend those are welcome. I will be over-clocking at some point, depending on how things go and if there is any advantage to doing so from the start or waiting until the system is setup. I did notice this MB has a OC center as well as the Easy OC Switch. Any input or thoughts on those?
To sum it up, I am looking for as much input on getting everything set up as easily as possible, with the best settings without requiring a lot of adjustments. Any and all input is appreciated!

Windows rating is rather silly, it's not the sum of the system but rather the slowest part that gives you this rating.
Yeah, I agree with the silliness of Windows final rating, however I do like to use the individual ratings as a sort of benchmark. The issue isn't the final rating, it the rating I am receiving for my processor, which is 4.1, and is the lowest rating on there.
From memory -
Processor - 4.1
RAM - 4.9
Graphics - 7.4
Gaming - 7.1
HD - 5.9
As a comparison, another computer with a 2.2GHz quad core processor, 4GB RAM, and single drive rates as follows:
Processor - 6.9
RAM - 7.2
Graphics - 4.8
Gaming - 6.1
HD - 5.9
With the components I have vs the comparison computer, I would expect CPU, RAM, and HD to all be higher, but they are lower or the same! So something somewhere is not right in my opinion.
Thanks for any feedback!
