Ok, just before anyone shouts at me for being stupid. This is my first ever attempt at putting this sorta thing together and I think mi doing ok. First off, im sure most of my stuff is compatible with each other, but i may be wrong so if you see something out of place, or could recommend a better version please let me know.

Features IntelliPower - A fine-tuned balance of spin speed, transfer rate and cache size designed to deliver both significant power savings and solid performance.
IntelliSeek - Calculates optimum seek speeds to lower power consumption, noise and vibration.
IntelliPark - Delivers lower power consumption by automatically unloading the heads during idle to reduce aerodynamic drag.
Perpendicular Magnetic Recording (PMR) - Employ PMR technology to achieve even greater areal density.
StableTrac - The motor shaft is secured at both ends to reduce system-induced vibration and stabilize platters for accurate tracking, during read and write operations.
So, there you have it. This is all ive managed to get as of this minute, then again i did only start today so, can someone help me with more choices and/or change any problems with my current choices. Also, on a final note does anyone know of some good quality case manufacturers. The reviews ive read say some of the better looking ones are brittle or flimsy materials. Any help is much appreciated and sorry for all the data, i copied and pasted it from newegg.com
Thanks in advance incase I have to go.
