Lian Li
The pioneer of aluminum chassis didn’t have many new products either. The focus of their display was a brushed aluminum BTX and ATX compatible concept case, but it looks a little too large for us to find practical, personally.

Lian Li has spent a lot of resources getting into desk production as well. These super-desks cost about $2000, but are completely sheathed in scratch-resistant brushed aluminum. Below, a Lian Li product manager attempts to scratch the table with a coin.
Below, you can see the integrated card reader and lockable drawer.
Power outlets are also designed into the desk. $2000 seems a bit more expensive than the $300 desk that I bought at IKEA, but then again, there was a time when we used to claim that aluminum cases were not practical and too expensive (but then, Lian Li went off and began a niche industry that has produced millions).

Windows has had software RAID 5 for years, too...ProviaFan - Thursday, June 2, 2005 - link
Which brings to mind that I seem to recall the Server editions of Windows being able to do software RAID as well...bersl2 - Thursday, June 2, 2005 - link
Um... I think some fact checking needs to be done about this statement:"While BSD operating systems have enjoyed Raid 5 software RAID via the OS for years, Linux and Windows have not been as fortunate."
http://www.tldp.org/HOWTO/Software-RAID-0.4x-HOWTO...
This old document puts RAID 5 in the kernel, in a working, if not feature-complete, form in 1997 (2.1.63).

This more recent version of the HOWTO places an updated version of RAID at no later than Jan. 2001 (2.4.0---and that's not counting it being in any development series kernels).

Yeah, I wonder where all these high-res displays are that Longhorn is supposedly going to support...Thanks anyway for the comprehensive coverage!

Nice coverage. Wonder what´s wrong with the LCD guys though.
