    Life expectancy of large drives

    Sounds like you are referring to what I posted above. The company is Backblaze, they offer online backup solutions, and thus run 1000s of drives 24/7. The brand that came on top is Hitachi, hardly "some fairly unknown brand". Their Hard Drives are available locally, but in the same sense as...

    1st Setup: Onkyo TX-NR727 Ordered.

    @scarfussi: Thanks. I'm very open to ideas, had a look at the Polk Speakers. Don't really know the brand personally, but I've been reading good things. Plus I see Audico has a whole TSx package for between R20k to R23k. I'm kinda a sucker for having the same brand when it comes certain things...
