I have a case
(Asus Vento 3600) that cuts out quite a bit of the noise actually, so its still pretty quiet.
I see that quite a few people suggests using Vista, is it better than XP or is it just the GUI thats better?

My CD Reader and DVD writer will most likely be the ones I am using now.

I see that Western Digital also has the almost exact same thing at the same price (
Western Digital 500GB Caviar RE2 RAID Edition 7200rpm SATA II w/ NCQ, 16MB Cache). Is Segate a better brand or has a better name than Western Digital?
How does AMD Athlon 64 X2 compare to the likes of Intel Pentium D or C2D?
Thanks for all the great advice, much appreciated everyone!
