Decent hard drive, but i'd go with Centrix-intl.com - Western Digital WD6000HLHX Wholesale Price, Ships Same Day! also most colleges have a thing where as a student you can get programs and stuff for free while you're in school... just download through a website. You could get windows 7 for free that way instead of paying for it. That how I got my windows 7 professional 64 bit on this computer... completely free of charge . So if you drop the cost of the OS and drop the cost of your HD and add the HD I listed... that'd lower ur cost by $20 ... you'd have 100 GB more and a 10,000 RPM on your hard drive, which is the fastest non solid state drive available ... the velociraptor series hard drives own! Wish I had one instead of this crappy 1 TB Samsung Spinpoint :-/... oh well... mine costed way less and I have way more storage... it works... just wish it was faster and a better brand :-/
As for my dream computer... I'd probably some day look into getting a better case on my current computer, because the apevia x-plorer black/black has too many issues with the front panel... and I wouldn't mind having something that has more air flow. I would also like to have a solid state drive one day, but they are just way too expensive right now... and they haven't worked all of the kinks out of them yet either. My brother works with building and fixing and selling computer stuff... and recycling junk stuff people bring in... he's seen solid state drives go bad and not be able to work anymore. I would like 2 more 2 GB sticks of ram. Other than that... I currently have what I want... since I just finished building it in March ... and the tower alone costed me over $1000.
