Hey I was thinking about getting another Hard Drive. I still want to keep and use my old (still 7200 RPM tho) 18GB drive. It would still be good for stuff that doesn't require high performance and just space... like movies and MP3s. So I was wondering what your suggestions were. This isn't critical, so I am willing to wait till around Christmas. I hear that ATA133 is on its way as well as serial. I plan to be upgrading my CPU/Motherboard anyways as soon as a game comes out that I like and that needs that kind of power. So basically, do you think it would be better to wait until after Christmas, or to go ahead and buy a hard drive. And if so, what hard drive would you suggest? Thanks :)

i heard the new ibm ones are great If you are looking for fast and large amounts of space fry's has a 100 gig 7200 rpm for 199. That was last week though so I am not sure if it is still the same price or ntot

The Maxtor 100gig is big and runs cool
The WD 100gig is big and runs fast but hot

Well I guess the thing I am most wanting for is not particularly space but speed. I honestly wouldn't know what to do with 118 Gbs of space :)
