Hmm... if you're looking for an external HDD, your best bet is to whop in a firewire card and use a firewire HDD, which will still be faster than a USB2 (once they come out). Whatever you do, don't use this hard drive to runh apps - just use it for documents, else your performance will drop through the floor and make a nasty dent in the upper mantle.

Moral of this story:
Always plan for expansion when you buy your case
Always make sure your motherboard can support at least four items of onboard hardware
Try to predict what upgrades you are likely to require over the life of the machine
Don't buy ****ty cheap computers that have no option for expandability whatsoever" The strength of the PC is it's modular nature.
