Ugh, this sucks. I want a CPU upgrade, but...getting a quad core to stick in my current system seems dumb with the i7s being out, but if I go with i7 I'd probably end up spending like ~$900, and that's even without getting a new video card. Ugh.

If anything, I'd get the q6600 if you rnot going for the i7's it pwns
you could always go for i5 or i7 on the new s1156
You don't want Socket 1156 Core i7s. Why? No triple channel, and that is where a healthy portion of the i7's punch lies. If you are going i7, stick with the 1366 models, because you are spending the i7 premium anyways, might as well get it all.
I may be building a home server instead....

Is good?
It's an external hard drive...in my experience they are all pretty much alike, and all have small if noticeable failure rates. I don't know if it is a 5400rpm of 7200rpm though. Regardless, USB 2.0 will choke data, so I hope you aren't banking on it being fast.
WD Externals have a 3 year warranty. Seagates have a 5 year warranty. You tell me which one you think is better.
WD.
