No. Not a WD. Seriously. No no no no no.

Either a Hitachi Deskstar ( beasts ) or Samsung SpinPoint ( awsm ).
The deskstar is currently the best HDD out there ( uses a new way of storing files, compresses/read/writes much faster as blocks are vertical and not horizontal ) or the SpinPoint, which is close on its heels.

WD fails compared to them. If you need proof, go over to tomshardware.com

Edit - Seeing as you have the cash to shell it.
Get this

It's the fastest drive available and a whopping 32MB cache.

oh you and the spinpoints. You're right though, the spinpoints really are the best drives out there. WD isn't bad though. I really like their 1TB drive. Cool and power efficient, great for data servers

Isn't that a bit expensive for a case?  I know it's top of the line and I'm sure it owns, but... $250!?  Get a $100-150 case and use the extra money to buy a better CPU, like the Q9450.  You won't regret it... it's the components that make the real difference, after all.

There isn't much difference between the Q93 and the 945,a according to panzer only about a 5% difference.

that is correct. the 2mb difference in cache size isn't earth shaking big.

Fuckin knew it!

Same thing as the old E6300 vs X6800 arguments we used to get on here   Fact if my memory serves me right, the lower cache model actually overclocks better aswell.
