I wouldn't be laughing at losing 1k for a mistake like that..  =/  But
I guess laughing is better than crying.  ;)

I seem to have excellent "skill" with my parts.  I'm even running my
primary setup on a narcoleptic HDD .. it likes to go to sleep and not
wake up again.  Needless to say my setup locks hard when its
filesystem suddenly goes away.. but it recovers wonderfully from it.

Yes, arranging a new storage solution is high on my list.

Heck, let me start a new thread on that.
