Yipster,

I also use a barebones harddisk for OCing my builds. But a re-build is certainly more painful than a restore. Additionaly, when the failure on occured on that first build, I thought I was protected because the drive was mirroring in RAID. Well it turns out that they were mirroring and the corruption was mirrored onto the second drive - both were useless. Mirroring is really designed to protect against a physical drive failure, not corruption of a drive's data - Also a good lesson.
