[QUOTE="robomonkey, post: 32497, member: 14217"] I agree with knutinh that "barely noticable" is subjective, you should really compare the dB levels Personally I had a Seagate 7200.7 and I thought it was one of the loudest drives I've had in terms of high pitched whine. Now I always use Samsung Spinpoints, currently have an 80GB 160GB and 250GB in various machines. From a hardware comparison I read the ATI Express 200 mobos, slightly outpace the Nvidia based boards in their class, so take a lookat those as well. Noting that recording is secondry, I'd still suggest looking at the dual DVB cards that are now emerging, they aren't loads more expensive, but they will give you oodles more flexibility (Cinergy 2400i & Fusion HDTV) Robo [/QUOTE]
