Hello All,

I'm looking at buying this spec for doing fairly heavy duty Rendering (video)/Graphic design and maybe some 3d stuff occasionally too. Some gaming might creep in but nothing too major (though I'm sure this could handle it). Basically how does this spec look? I'm hoping to stay as close to the current price as possible. Sorry for the slightly funky spec formatting, my tablet had issues pasting it.

Thanks in advance!

If you can fit it in, you may want to change this to a Caviar Black or Seagate Barracuda, just to make things speedier whilst loading, or a Caviar Green if this drive is for storage only.

Warranty 3 Year Standard Warranty (1 Month Collect & Return, 1 Year Parts, 3 Year Labour)
The silver warranty is only a fiver and extends the collect and return to a year, dead cheap :)

Apart from that it looks good.

Thaks for the advice, have upgraded the HDD to a caviar black as only a teeny bit more and should be worth it :)
