Suggest you get Western Digital over Seagate. Seagate been having major problems with their 7200.11 series. Mates 1TB drive just froze up today, lost everything, even after he used their firmware update..

I havn't heard of anyone's seagate's bricking after firmware upgrade:confused:
 
I heard about the problem and then I saw them releasing the firmware update. I thought that was the end of it..Damn!!

As promised:

Read the last link especially, covering the release of the firmware that was supposed to fix stuff, and then instead bricking the drives.

Yes, they did release instructions and other firmware. Have heard thatit is still happening though. Am not too confident in them atm.
Imagine bricking your drive after doing a firmware update... data gone! hectic :eek:

If you looking for a Asus 4780, my mate is selling his. He just upgraded to the Sapphire 4870x2. Send me a pm for details. In Jhb.
 
The HD 4890 will be released in April and will have a 20% performance boost. It'll cost the same ... that is ... if you wanna wait.
 
Im look for the cooler master stacker EVO 830 Black and the cooler master m1000 power supply any body know of good special's ?

That is what I should do...

But I have a buyer for my current PC, and I cant ask him to wait.

And I don't see local distributors selling it for the same as the 4870, they will probably milk it as usual. I predict it will come down to the 4870's price after 3/4 months
 
For that graphics I would honestly go with the 4870, the best card for that 22" in my honest opinion.

Phenom 920 is good but why not the 940 Black Ed?
