Okay... so i need to upgrade my HD... there are two 3.5" drivebays on my PC.

The current HD is 80GB so i want to keep that to stor large files on.
It is surrounded by a rubber case.. kind of like an iSkin :wink:

I was wondering if these were for sale anywhere.. in the UK specifically.

I have tried all of the usual sites, but no luck :? ... i just want to cover it in rubber to reduce vibrations inside the PC (especially as it will be 7K2 rpm)

Also... is the Seagate Barracuda the best choice?

Thansk in advance dudes :D

Western Digital would be a better choice. :D

So i just screw them straight into the bare metal slot?

Easier that i thought.

Already this week i have upgraded my RAM and installed a DVD-RW Drive, despite never having opened a PC before... it was so easy, and i am so happy with the results :mrgreen:

{EDIT}

The best IDE HD from Seagate with 160GB is...???? :idea:
