After further inspection I was checking out hard drives on mpcstuff. Figured that was a better deal since I can get like 120 gigs for 135 bucks.

Finally I think I have settled on this:

The solid state mod. I will be able to run my card through the hard drive location for like $40. Gotta love that. From the thread it looks like people have had luck with it. Only down side is that I cant easily remove the card, but its not too big of a deal.

My respect for this forum just went up a bunch of notches. I can live with spending $40 extra dollars!

Thanks again for the help.

I see. I allready have a good sized card so figured it would be easier just to get the install kit and an adapter. Do you think a hard drive would be better? I have just heard things about heat, noise, and crashing, but I guess it depends on what drive you go with too.
