I used to play with compiz fusion a long time ago. After breaking so many systems I eventually just stuck with stock.

Interesting idea. How do you deal with illegal trade?

I was expecting them to be more expensive, but $85/drive isn’t bad.

Hardware wise, are the drives SATA? I couldn’t get an answer at a glance. If you are running them mirrored, you can back off on the cost.

The three drives may ramp up the fan on that. Check to see if there are additional fan headers and add some intake fans.

/mnt/ is where I would put this. Only exception would be if I had a service I was providing, like a media player server, and then I might mount it at /srv/
