Shawn's already got a good supplier for electrical goods - so dont think that's gonna be an issue.   I'd second Paul on the external - you've seen the one I've got Shawn; that was December last year, £60 I think (Targa, 232Gb) now you can get even larger ones for the same price - probably even cheaper from your supplier.  Mine was from Lidi, & have had no problems at all. ;D Have stored most of my videos & all photos and lots of other big stuff that the computer couldnt handle & I've only used 60Gb. ;D |

True it is easy to buy a extrenal hard drive and use it stay away if your not computer minded but at the same time if you are computer minded then could have an internally one setup in same amount of time. Depending on whether your computer is IDE or SATA then i could get a 120GB IDE hard drive for about £25 so abit cheaper than externally. Also space matter, if you got room for a externally hard drive or not. Ant |

Go internal its not hard to change over just make sure it is run as a slave rather than the master and get the right type! as ant says it will be far cheaper
