[Ryan-3]

Option 1 Seems better to me

But whats the 80gb HDD for?

 

[smogsy]

so Linux has its own Drive of 80GB that way i can share the whole 1TB and not the OS

 

[pastymuncher]

Option 1 for future upgradeability.

+1

 

[Cookeh]

[nayenshah]

option one undoubtedly.

 

[mrfun1981]

Option one

 

[thingemajib]

option 1, but save yourself 20 quid and get a sempron 140 instead of an athlon.

 

[Fallen god]

Option 1, stocket 775 is dead now so AM3 is much better choice.
