google young grasshopper, the art of internet searching must be mastered  I think I ended up searching for PC3200 definition or something, and some random site mentioned it, being a CE it made sense

Well thanks for doing the footwork. by the way I purchased the power supply on Saturday. Went with the Seasonic.

actually not such an awesome deal in terms of $/gb
you paid about .30 $/GB the best deal right now is the 400GB drive for $110 or .27 $/GB then the 250GB for $70 or .28 $/GB then the 320GB for $95 or .29 $/GB and if you are doing a RAID5 array, the 250GB is the way to go. lets say 2TB raw disk you purchase, so 5x400GB or 8x250GB. your usable size is 1.6TB with 400GB disks so .34 $/GB and usable size is 1.75TB with 250GB disks so .32 $/GB :-p disk sizing is fun, and I am only going this in depth because my next upgrade is to my file server. hoping for something like 500-700 GB usable size in a raid 5 array

yeah I saw that 400gb disk there when I added the link. I didn't see it though when I ordered mine. That's alright. I still think that was a decent deal.

My PC is like a hurricane but is REALLY nice and multipurpose.
Gaming/TV recordings... everything really. I wish i took into consideration sound when choosing mine.. and i wish i didnt get a billion LED lights thru everything in the case. As far as noise on the PSU it isnt very loud.. i find the fans near a grill is what makes the most noise from the air "whistling" over the vents. Something with a fairly open vent system would work good..or ones with flap vents instead of a mesh. The type stangdaman linked the mesh type im talking about and is similar to what i use. Also go for as much harddrive as you can you wont regret it! Not having to delete recordings is great.

Speaking of storage space I was on newegg today and spotted this deal. I wish that I had seen this a week ago. How much heat should I expect to get from a hard drive by the way? Would it just be too much to put another 500 in there and the free 250?
