IDE HDD for a Dell...

[96MaxGLE 10+ year member]

Figured I would put a thread up here since I'm in the market for a new Hard Drive. Just let me know what you guys have if anything. Looking for something big, but want to know what everyone has.

Also, I would like some RAM that is Dell compatible...looking for at least 2 512mb sticks.

look in the misc section six501 was selling 250gb ide drives for $35-40 a few weeks ago. last time i talked to him he had about 14 left

if you are running xp you will be fine with that large of a drive, but if you are running windows xp you will need to make two seperate partitions

I PM'd six501...hopefully I'll be hearing back from him soon...

I'm gonna be using this for a temp Media Center PC, just to see if I use it enough to build one from scratch. Anyone have any suggestions on sound/video cards that aren't so expensive? I'm gonna be running XP Media Center Edition 2005, and its gonna be hooked up to a 42" Toshiba Regza.

Well I've PM'd Mr. C and six501, but awaiting a paypal address from whoever sends it first. If anyone else has any let me know ASAP! I'm gonna look on eBay later tonite. I just got my copy of Windows Media Center and my RAM (only using a GB but have space for 4GB...so I could use more). I've ordered a 5.1 Sound card and a TV tuner.
