Updating the 'puter for hardcore ownage

[Bevock]

I have not been looking at any gaming systems recently but I will probably looking at a new system around the end of the year when my system is three years old.

I had always been a Western Digital Hard drive fan but a number of years back I went over to Seagate because in the States the warranty is much longer. Almost all the Seagate drives have a five year warrantly where the WD's tended to be three years and some models only one.

I would also look for boards that have raid drive ability built in. Last September I got some simple 965G Intel chipset board for work so for the cost of one more hard drive I got backup all the time.
