I have both (4 computer home LAN > 1 gig each) and feel that DIVERSITY is the spice of life. AMD and Intel both make good chips.
Last time I did a Q3 arena Demo the PIII beat out the same speed Athlon, but I feel the AMD is a better VALUE.
(my $.02 ONLY)
You can use the accoustic packing the drives were so well packed in from Quantum. (I recieved my original Quantum boxes INSIDE the buy,com peanut packed box.) Just put ssome of that in your case as lining.
As I said...with my PeP66 and the Black Label fan as well as my 120mm Exhaust fan and the...
I'm not sure about those IBM monitors, but I'll say this...
I have a Sony trinitron monitor (15") and I DON'T EVEN USE IT !... the picture is great but the newer monitors (even the 17" $120 GEMs I bought at FRYs on sale with rebate) are MUCH better because they TURN ON RIGHT AWAY...
My Quantums are just as fast as my Seagate (7200rpm) Barracudas.
But I must moan about HDs in general, as regards fdisk. I don't like to use the proprietary software that comes with Hard Drives, preferring instead to use the fdisk which I always felt Windows accepted better. Am I wrong? The...
hkssupra69,
I have to agree with Monty...Quantum makes good drives, although not as quiet as Seagate, I don't even notice as my ATX Case has EIGHT fans including my PeP66 and a 120mm exhaust fan.
Since my computers generally sound like the runway at LAX anyway I can't even notice the HD noise...

"Quantum 30GB, 7200 RPM, 2MB for $96"
I just spoke with Virginia @ buy.com customer service:
#1) I was impressed with the customer service...very professional...
I just bought one, but would like another "$96 SHIPPED for a 30GB 7200RPM Quantum Harddrive" as I'm using a BX-133 RAID Abit Mobo. (I have 2 raided Seagate 7200 20gig Barracudas that kick Azz already and expect the new system I'm buildin will be as fast)...however,
CAN I GET ANOTHER...
Hmmmm, db, I know what you mean, but it's still not right.
When Clinton DONATED his old underwear to charity and took a $3 right off fo each one when he was Governer, that too was dishonest...it does't make it right, however.

Hmmm...suspect this will be cereal boxes ::::yawn:::: by next year, the way hardware prices are dropping.
In fact the Sony Vaio system I bought for $3500 (200mmx) 2+ years ago is now almost worthless.
