    Probably no reduced reliability nor longevity... just wasted $$ on unused horsepower.... :D

  5. "HDD: Gaming Hard Drive (10,000RPM SATA150) [+60] (SATA150 - Western
    Digital Raptor 36.7GB 10,000RPM 8MB Cache WD360GD)"


    Just thought I'd let you know this is a piece of shit. Get a SCCI IBM (if you can) hard drive otherwise wasting your money on the whole deal. Don't even bother. Antec power supply is an excellent choice however. Are you getting the Antec case as well?

    I wish I had time to go over the whole deal but am too busy.

  6. I am getting some funky gaming case that was the default deal (I wanted the temperature readout)...Its not Antec...
    I could have received a 5 or 10 bucks credit for taking a normal beige case....

    They did not offer an IBM...is IBM still making hard drives? your not suggesting something that I cannot find are you?

  9. I have the 36 gig Wrapter 10K RPM. It's pretty quite. Much quieter than my old seagate.

    There are advantages to a smaller hard drive. They have faster seek times because there is less disk to search. For a stand along trading computer its a good choice. Better to put your extra money in to a 250 gig external. Much more useful, particularly if you want swap MP3 with your friends.
