I am working on building a new PC and I must say it gets pricey when you want to add things like redundancy.  I have been purchasing most of the parts from New Egg which is really great with the prices.  In fact I think just about all of the parts came from New Egg except for the processor which I got from my friend.  Nothing fancy on the cpu but my friend is going to over clock it for me.  Here is what we have in it so far.

This does not count all the taxes and shipping for all the different times I had to buy this and then realized I needed this.  That is always a pain.  I plan on installing Windows Vista Ultimate 64-bit on the OS.  I also have a 120GB SATA drive that I plan on hosting my OS on and using the 4 – 1.5TB drives in a RAID 5 configuration and use it to store my music, photos and documents on.  I will have another 1.5TB drive that I plan on using for Backups which I know I will have to upgrade that soon to keep all the backups on.  Thankfully I use Storage Craft to do all my backups and I must say it is the coolest way for backups. 

If anyone has any feedback I would appreciate it.  I am hoping to have this system up and running by next Friday since I have a Photography Gig coming up.  Wish me luck folks!

This is another photo from my good friend Johnny Grays while he was visiting Pompeii, Italy.

This is a photo that my good friend Johnny Grays took while visiting Pompeii, Italy just this weekend.  

This is a photo of a set of buildings.  I took this shot while I was in Guanajuato, Guanajuato, Mexico.  We had just finished seeing a lot of the city and were getting ready to call it a day.  I took this photo with my Minolta Dimage 5.

This is a photo of an old abandoned factory that is just outside of New Idria.  If you have not seen this place it is something to see at least once in your lifetime.  I had been there once when I was a kid and I had mentioned it to my wife and we drove up to see it.  I guess the place has been abandoned for some time now.  It used to be used for some old mining purposes. 

Grain Storage, originally uploaded by perezstudios.

This is a photo of an old grain storage building. I took this photo on my way back from work. Very old building that is never used anymore.

This is a photo of a pillar that I photographed while I was in Central America in Honduras.  This pillar stands just outside the church where we stayed at most of the time while in San Pedro Sulas.  I love the detail in the photo.

This photo was taken at the Los Angeles Train Station.  I used my Canon EOS Digital Rebel XT and my Canon 28-135mm lens.  I loved this train station.  It has a lot of history and interesting architecture in it.  The outside area is also very beautiful.
