And you should never buy anything from pissy-werld anyway

(insert link to the weebl & bob pc world cartoon)

Pretty sure I bought my speakers from PC World. And my headset, when the last one broke.

It's not that bad.

That strikes me as a terrible price from PC World. Not bad for 2 TB what you got, though, wish I only had some disposable income to dispose of! We're regularly down to scraping the barrel here, been meaning to make a little gaming movie (thanks to Pete for the inspiration) but have actually run out of HDD space making clips for it.

Incidentally, do you guys have any particulars when it comes to hard drives? I had a few bad experiences with Seagate drives way back when, which put me off them for a good while - followed up by some truly catastrophic ones with IBM/Hatachi (a few click of death experiences), so I've been left with Western Digital, though I think my last purchase was a Seagate, and so far the latter two makes have served me really well.

Both of my current (internal) drives are Western Digital. (And have been fine so far. *crosses fingers*)

My external (formatted to FAT32 so PS3's and Xbox 360's can use it) is a Verbatim.

I'd agree with you there on the WD's Pete. See them as fairly reliable. If I were buying new I'd WD.

I'd always thought Seagate's were pretty good, however the 4 or 5 drive failures I've seen recently have all been Seagate (on a professional level). I keep all the dead drives under my desk (I don't know why) and there are 4 reasonably new seagate barracudas under there (1x160, 1x250, 2x500). Whether that's just a higher proliferation of Seagates in business machines or not who knows.

Run for the hills with the IBM drives....Tosh's own pretty poor too, IMHO.
