    Drive options - Raid/Raptor?

    thanks guys, so would getting a raptor 150GB for OS and applications, and a large 300 GB for data be the best as a combo for speed and storage. I have an external 160GB drive I could use for back up I guess. thx Ken

    Drive options - Raid/Raptor?

    Dell System OK value?

    Hi, thanks to all, looks like you can get a bit more, but once you add OS and keyboard mouse etc, the Dell is a decent deal, but slightly lower spec (video, CPU)

    Dell System OK value?
