I would never risk overclocking a development purely from the point of reliability. In terms of productiveness an extra 10% processing power is not going to make me code any faster or make any IDE perceptably faster. On the matter of dual monitors I would say with the price of LCD coming down at breakneck speed that 24inch 1920x1200 monitors are now attainable. Ive got a Dell 24inch and I definitely do not need a second monitor. Strange, you talk about overclocking etc but yet you say you do not want it for games.

You can't go wrong with the Core 2 Duo CPUs. The budget versions (Core 2 Duo E4300) cost just around $100+. The 4xxx series is a little bit slower then 6xxx series (800Mhz vs 1066Mhz), but for all practical reasons even the cheapest Core 2 Duo CPUs are more than enough... “Laura” :) .

I tried software RAID under Linux and it was so painful that I completely discarded _any_ software RAID. With software RAID I managed to destroy my data much faster then with unprotected bare hard drive.... :) Dmitri, that’s right!
