    Right, I was looking on Dabs for an IDE hard drive for my Dell Dimension 3000 (yes, it sucks so stfu).
    Dabs only had 2 results which were outrageously priced.
    I need an 80GB drive, no bigger, no smaller.
    Try and keep the price under £35, and make it shippable to the UK (no overseas!).

    EDIT: Holy ---- I lagged, mod can close others..

    Yeah if you like. The performance difference in the drives probably won't be that much anyway. You could just as well say that the samsung is better because its ata-133, or that the seagate's better beacuse of the 5 yr warranty.

    overclockers.co.uk as most said - probably your best bet.

    i'd personally suggest either the WD caviers or the seagate baracudas, i'd probably lean towards the baracudas though - they're slightly slower(not by much) but are quieter and offer a better warranty
