seagate 300gb - 99AR

at frys B&M

hdd is 139.99-40 rebate

cpu/mobo combo is a pretty good deal considering the cpu alone sells for 219 at newegg...

mobo is a ECS with K8T890 VIA chipset...prolly junk...but im sure you can sell for a damn cheap price on egay or here

yes its socket 939

300GB Seagate is on Outpost.com too for the same price:

Sweet deal.. I did the 200GB and 160GB deal from Outpost so I'm considering the 300GB.

forgive me, i can't recall the reference, but I believe the 300 and 400gb seagates are problematic- can't recall if I read that on amazon or newegg but I almost jumped on this deal when it was offered previously until I did some research.

i just checked the review from newegg. there are report from people that their 300gb are dying.

i've got an ECS KV2 Extreme mobo and it's based on the K9T800 chipset I think. It's a VERY solid board, but doesn't have as many options as you might want for OCing.

thank goodness i got the maxtor 300gb

oh crap, i got a 400gb seagate tho...any horror stories on that one?

as for the cpu/mobo, its a great deal even if its the cpu alone!

I wouldn't worry too much. Seagates do have 5 year warranties on them afterall.
