Abuzar: Not in the UK it isn't.
Shaffaaf: That is dirt cheap for a 3870...

well as you guys may know that i want PCI-E 2.0, if that board has that then it's truly futureproof. P35C-DS3R can only support DDR3 upto 1333, and only two slots for it.

Pepp: Interesting, but I'm probably going to go with a 1TB GreenPower if it's cheap enough, should I upgrade my storage. I can't justify repetitively spending money on my storage, so I need something that'll last. That said though, it would be nice to have a bigger drive to install my games to, so I may consider a 750 too. My 250GB 7200.9 fills very easily!

My 1.5TB file server's nearly full with stuff. The 1TB drives may be necessary just to not run out of spaces to put drives!

I currently have 1 x 250 gig drive and 3 x 500 gig drives - was tempted by the 750gig one myself - but couldnt justify the spend when one of the 500gig ones is only just over a month old and Ive just spent £400 on other PC parts and £100 on a satnav and a pair of Rockwood boots.

Save your Money, it's not THAT great. I like mine and everything, but the 360 gets a lot more play time than my PS3 or my Wii ever did.

Your PC's not even that bad GTR, I wouldn't worry about it. Most of the stuff i want to spend money on is quite trivial really, more disk space, and primarily, quietness. It doesn't cost much to make a PC fast these days, but it's still quite expensive to make it quiet.
We have a 360 (co-owned), a Wii (owned by Nick), a PS2 (owned by me) and a Gamecube (owned by Phil), and I enjoy using the older consoles every bit as much as the newer ones. The only reason I would want a PS3 right now is GT5, and that's too much money for one game, especially when it isn't out yet lol.
Pepp: Nice, that's an admirable storage array. How much did all those drives set you back? A lot of my drives are a couple of years old and so set me back a lot. The 37GB Raptor, four 250GB drives, a 400GB and a pair of 500s collectively cost me £580. Can you say "ouch"? You can get ten 500GB drives for that money now.

Sam - the 250 came with my last computer - one 500 was a christmas present but I think £58 was paid, one 500 was a kick back from a supplier about 2 odd years ago so was free (retailed at about £150 at the time if I remember rightly) and the final 500 one I bought in January for £70 (is eSata external).

A PCIe card for IDEs? That's one way of doing it I suppose. Are all your PCI slots full, or are you saving them?
