Never heard of the mobo manufacturer and I'm an Asus fanboi anyway but I won't hold that against you, I'd still recommend getting a bigger hard drive, I just added a 300gigger for a total of just under 500gig to save myself the pain of having to delete, well, anything, ever. And I can't do anything but recommened samsung hard drives they're the only brand of drive I've owned/fitted that I've _never_ had any problems with.
Price is nice too: 573.55 USD United States Dollars = 316.984 GBP United Kingdom Pounds Might be time for me to finally stop being a tightass and upgrade from my trusty o/c 2500xp <!--emo&:D--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/biggrin-fix.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='biggrin-fix.gif' /><!--endemo-->
u could double ur hard drive size for 20 bucks, but than again umay not need the space, but dont forget that most new games will be upwards of a 1-2 gb install in the future
Sweet, so I think that's the setup I'm going to buy <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/smile-fix.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile-fix.gif' /><!--endemo--> Thank you all for the help.
