Getting a Seagate 80gb 7200/8mb off the forums. Both have same warranty. They are the same drives just one is IDE and the other SATA. The IDE is $56 shipped and the SATA is $60 shipped but doesnt include the power adapter which I don't have.

I have a NF7-S which would you go with? Is SATA more future proof or no?

either one..
power adapter can be gotten from SVC/Directron I believe and the SATA ide cable is definitely slimmer..

cable width is definitely a plus when you have a acrylic window :)
