Haha, I'm finally moving to XP! :P
I really really want one of these:
Western Digital Caviar SE16 WD2500KS 250GB 7200 RPM SATA 3.0Gb/s Hard Drive - OEM
Or maybe one of these:
Seagate Barracuda 7200.10 ST3320620AS (Perpendicular Recording Technology) 320GB 7200 RPM SATA 3.0Gb/s Hard Drive - OEM
But I'm having trouble justifying the extra $$ atm when I have several perfectly good ATA Barracudas. Still, $70 or $80 to move my OS and proggies to a fat SATA disk right off the bat is very tempting.
I still plan on reusing the stuff I listed here.
Questions:
Does this config look better than the last one?
Anything I could do better, for the price?
I've heard the Allendale 775 has a crappy heatsink; think I should get this Zalman right off the bat?

Will you buy me a pony? I shall need to sell it or win races with it in order to afford this.
