    I'm planing an putting it into a Thermaltake Max-4. I does seem like the data center drives (ES....) have better reliability specs, so that's why I want to go that route.

    I have a 19" monitor, 320mb or 640mn GTS?

    I have a viewsonic vx922 that maxes out at 1280x1024. At first I was all set on the 640mb GTS but from what I am hearing, I can save 100 bucks by going with the 320mb version. What's your take?
