I do not need one lol. 200 GB, I can't even fill 10 GB of my 40.

I'm not so worried about gigs.. anymore. Not with the current increase in CPU powa.. and Video powa. Now.. where's the increase in HD powa?
They (they being major vendors) need to start producing scuzzi hd's.. or something along that basis. I dunno, 12000 rpms or something should be the standard. Not 7200. I know they already produce them, but I mean cheaply.. produce them.
I want a minimum 2 ms seek on my HD :classic:

hehe, buy SCSI! :D
