I'm searching every possible offer. I have another 2 or 3 weeks before having the money to buy it, so I'll sure try every configuration possible.

As for HD space, right now I'm working with 12GBs... they're full, full, full. I've burned a zillion CDs for the mp3z, the Bryce scene files, the progs and the various dloads. Funny thing, my "real" job (writing) occupies only 5% of my diskspace (and I have recorded all my whole shiny writing career!) LOL :)

Thanx a lot again for all the suggestions coming. Keep 'em flowing, I really appreciate your POVs. :)
