[CUBE] Hard Drive recommendations

[Hal]

You will notice the improvement with a fast hard drive. Everyone has 
their preferences, but I like the WD Caviar "Special Edition" models. 
They're 7200rpm drives with 8mb cache, very fast and pretty quiet. I 
have a 100GB model in my cube and have run it for over a year without 
incident.

If you can find it, the 120gb version was on sale at OfficeMax for $150 
with an $80 rebate. They were out at the 2 stores near me...
