[QUOTE="haggard, post: 67034, member: 183237"] Indeed no Gameboy, nothing like under 300! Thats their main problem.! And that leads in to our basic purchase philosophy :- for processors and hdd, never buy the latest generation because of R&D/novelty cost. If you get the previous version when a new gee-whizz fast processor comes out or a factor 2 higher hdd, it will be at least a factor 2, if not 4 cheaper per processing power and GB hdd. Of course sometimnes you cant resist, like I could have had a 160GB hdd for DB for less than 70 quid but went and lashed 230 for a 300GB Maxtor. I have to say, I have to press my ear against the DB to hear/feel the drive, its so quiet. We got a stack of G5 Xserves because we want to put Red Hat Linux on them, for various reasons, and thats our R&D. We switched them on in July and they havnt had one reboot since, despite continuous software R&D on top of the Unix OS. I cant say that about my DB! [/QUOTE]
