The Ecogreen HDD is slow at 5400RPM, get a 7200RPM model, something like this - http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=HD-063-HI&groupid=701&catid=14&subcat=1955 - if you need that much space.

Hmmm possible Deathstar? Not sure if I trust their disks even now

Cheers though

What advantages will a full size ATX board have over a MicroATX board, just out of curiosity?
