Just to chip in with a few assorted views...

- while I agree that Windows isn't much of an OS, please don't get the
idea that you can't run SS satisfactorily on it.  You can. Scanning
doesn't take forever for everyone.

- if you're lucky, it may well be that simply building a new box will
avoid whatever nasty is lurking in your current one.  For people who
have more time than money (perhaps not most transporter buyers!!) just
rebuilding might be worth a go

- if you're not so lucky, it may be something odd about your library in
which case you'll have exactly the same problem as before (well,
slightly quicker as you'll have a faster CPU).

- this has been discussed at length elsewhere - so I don't mean to open
up the question all over again but rather to point out that there is
another POV - but IMHO RAID is a really bad way to protect yourself
against music library data loss, as it offers no protection at all
against a whole class of likely problems including user error and rogue
software.  While a good hardware RAID can speed things up, a poor one
(especially if its in software) can really slow things up, too.

- make sure you install a 6.5.1 nightly

- no-one seems to have mentioned this before ... please tell us you're
not really going to use a Transporter just to play mp3s!
