I wasnt too excited about paying so much but i NEED a desktop for working at home and even with all this stuff it still comes out less than buying a pre made desktop and then having to upgrade it or a laptop, plus i think the performance from this will be insane.

shoulda bought a mac

I would've gone with a different HD then a western digi and gotten corsair ram but that's just me(I hate WD lol, had their HDs shit out so many times)

If you need help puttin that shiz together let me know. Looks like it'll be a nice rig.

Yeah man, I have 2 Seagates(1 200 and 1 300GB) and 1 Hitatchi(500GB) in my tower now. All three have been running like champs.

WD Raptors have never crapped out on me. EVER.

G.Skill actually uses the same samsung chips that Corsair uses.

This means my Shay Lauren lol Gif will be made.

**scutzi128** · 09-23-2008, 11:29 AM

Actually I forgot about my raptor which has been running strong for around 4 years...I still think seagate makes the best drive though.
