OEM Hard Drive With Window

WD Raptor XOooh, saw this on Slashdot and knew I had to jot it down, gotta stick this in my next wish list... w00t!!!
At last, you don't need to mess around with Dremel tools and Lexan (and destroy your valuable data) to get a clear window in your hard drive. Western Digital has released the Raptor X 150GB SATA hard drive. 10,000 RPM, 4.6ms seek time, 16MB buffer, and, yes, a clear window so you can see what's going on inside. Made out of a special polycarbonate lens with an ESD-dissipative coating, the lens is designed to let case modders and their groupies see the drive platters and heads without sacrificing data integrity.
Great googly moogly, can you imagine a pair of these beauties in a RAID0 configuration? Can we say SMOKIN'??
