okay, so i just bought a new rig, ( AMD Athlon Dual-core 4800+ processor, DUAL 7600GT's, 2 GIGS of RAM, and THIS (http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16813128301) Motherboard, I thought the HD I currently had would work but it won't its IDE so what do you guys suggest I get(from newegg (www.newegg.com) only please)? needs to be atleast 200GB HD costing $100 or less because I've already spent 2 grand on everything else.

thanks.

I like WD Hard Drives. I would get a 250gb SATA 3.0 WD.

Is this (http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16822144701) the one Thrash?

Or you could go Seagate (http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16822148065) , which still has the 5 yr warranty I believe.

I don't see any reason why you can't use your old IDE drive. The board you have has 2 IDE channels and will accept 4 IDE drives.

eh? Seagate Cheetahs are SCSI and quite pricey to boot.
