if you can get a dell 1.8 for 400 bucks, go for it.
save yourself a lot of time and effort. espicially if you dont need a badass video card.
otherwise building a computer is always fun. enlist the help of a friend, or one of us.
if you want 2-300 gbs, you got a whole slew of options. how many hard drives do you want?
with ide, you're limited to 2 per channel(still like that right?), which also includes your cd-rom drive.
so you'd have a max of 4, and then you'd need to buy another controller card.
of course you could buy 3 80gb drives and achieve your goal.
so it all depends on what you want. this is long and rambling, so i'm gonna end it.
i think i am now going to be late for work.
look what you made me do.
thanks @$$h013
