These are my computer specs. I think I went overboard, but just pretend you didn't see the things you didn't need to see.
EDIT: You should probably just skip this part.. Because I don't think it will help much. I don't know if you actually needed my computer specs, but if you do for compatibility issues or what not here they are.

Computer Case Details: AMD Athlon XP sticker on front of case that I actually got for free through one of the threads here a long time ago.. Missing a side panel so all the radiation seeps out right onto me =\... Little status LED light covers on the front of the case keep falling off, and my cat swallowed the one that covers the green status light.
Computer's Current Mood: Mad (dust me)
My little tiny 80 GB (Really 74.55 GB grr) hard drive is completely full. I download anything and everything I can get my hands on, and I recently got a Wacom Graphire 3 which had some nice software that came with it.. That pretty much killed the little bit of space that I had left. I fear for my computer's safety that I must get a new HD quickly before it dies on me..
So I have around $140 to spend, and I'm looking to spend it on a nice and reliable hard drive with as much space as possible. I don't know anything about hard drive speeds, types, brands, etc. That's where you guys come in.
Any suggestions?
