I'll be probably getting that within the next week or so.  Tell me thoughts.

Get this hard drive instead. It's from the leading company, is the same capacity, is a dollar cheaper, and has a 6MB greater cache.

[RoMi]

Yeah, I have a WD harddrive currently, and it seems fine, so I changed that.

I have a question pretaining to AMD's and Pentiums. Are AMD's more suitable for gaming rather then a Pentium? Because if so I'd probably take the Pentium since I don't game THAT much. I think AMD is overrated for gamers even though most of the people that own one aren't even a hardcore gamer at all. Just my two cents, correct me if I am wrong.

Seagate rocks. I've got a 160GB Barracuda. Trust, you can run off and die.

I've had horrid luck with Seagate. I had a 200GB and it went bad on me and I lost most my data. =(

I probably shouldn't be tooting Western Digital's horn, huh? My 120 GB internal HDD was a WD and it died, and my 80  GB external was a WD and I lost all my data on it (though the latter was my fault.)

Pentiums, to me, are more for server computers and applications then gaming. And RoMi does do gaming, just rarely on Battle.net, I think. It's more a matter of choice though.

Everyone has bad experiences with harddrives, I guess. =(

[RoMi]

Ok, I made some changes.
The WD harddrive as mentioned above.
Case Change to Antec Solution http://www.newegg.com/product/product.asp?item=N82E16811129140 (its supposed to be really quiet, and I like to listen to music rather then air moving)

[RoMi]

Oh, well ok.  For anyone who wants a deal I got a 120 gig WD HDD at bestbuy for 40 bucks.

[deadly7]

Pfft. Thanksgiving '03 I got two Maxtor Maxblast 8mbCache/120GB harddrives for $70.00 ish.

AMD vs. Intel is really a matter of personal preference. I however wouldn't buy an AMD because ive yet to see anyone have a good experience with them. For my money I'd much rather have an Intel CPU on an Intel motherboard.

Im not so sure about the power supply you picked out. If you haven't already I'd do some more research and make sure you aren't buying a total pile of crap.

Now you can't say that because I've had a GREAT experience with AMD. Wouldn't go Intel ever again after getting an AMD 64 3400+ on an Asus KN8-E Delux motherboard. Can't say I've had a single problem related to processor/motherboard.
