Final bit to buy :-)

**REMA** · 05-11-2009, 02:16 AM

Hello thanks to all who have helped here with build questions:
Last 2 pieces to decide upon...PC will be used for gaming and family pictures and some family videos although these tend to getburn't to DVD.

1, Which HD :
Choice 2. 640GB Western Digital Caviar Black SATA II 640GB 32MBS-ATASerial ATA-3004.2msn/an/a7200rpm3.5 5 year price 731 kr

OR
1TB Samsung Spinpoint F1 HD103UJ 881 kr

the price differnce is negligable. I just wonder if there is any REAL WORLD noticable difference in these and if the 1TB is simply better value for money?
The WD has 5 year and the Samsung 3 year.
Is the extra speed..possibly build quality worth buying the WD ? The 5 year warranty is a + and an irrelavace...as most PC's need changing after 3 years and wouldn't one just buy the latest technology then (esatas drives or something). Would a 1TB take an eternity to defragg ?

2. Has anyone any knowledge of this company and this particular router?

D-Link DKT-410 Wireless N startpack D-Link DIR-635 + DWA-140

Thanks again

The WD Black series would easily be my choice.
I'm not a fan of DLink. I use look at Linksys for all my router(wired & wireless) needs.
Wireless N is not worth the extra price. G series works fine.

WD 640 and a Linksys WRT54GL get my vote> http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16833124190

The LINKSYS WRT54G is also an excellent wireless router and can be found for $50 or less at most office type stores.. The GL is more configurable for security.
