would you choose to have a fast pc even if it meant you wouldnt be able to download much since your hard drive would be so small you would have to constantly back up OR would you choose a HUGE hard drive but dial up style internet that is as slow as watching the grass grow? unfortunately i have had to choose before and it was horrible
i rather have fast and constantly be burning cds or something than slow.. i have NO patience haha

Between slow PC huge storage and Fast PC no storage, I choose fast PC no storage. One of the reason I choose second option is that there are lots of free storage services on the internet to save your files, and I also don't have time to wait for the slow PC to complete my job.

Hmm... thats a hard one!
Well, I think a slow PC would really piss me off so I would have to go with fast speed with no storage

you might be best off doing a gate way or dell (although i hate dells with a passion and think they are crap) because then you can customize it and maybe lay off on some things to where you can up storage and speed

I think if I had to choose betwen the two I would go for the faster PC. If you get the faster PC, you can always buy a bigger hard drive for it later as they arent that expensive and they really arent that hard to install(I've done it once). The computer I have now is somewhere inbetween on both counts and thats perfect for me as I dont really use my computer that much and I hardly ever download anything.

it would drive me crazy to have to slow down.. i cant even deal with dial up and if my pc was like that speed wise in general i would lose it lol

i should have added that with a bigger hard drive it would be easier to have like photoshop and games etc.. so that might be a problem if you like those

I think I'll take the faster one, because as long as I have USB ports and flash drives, I can back things up on them, or on DVD. If i had a big but slow PC, I'd waste a lot of time, even if I had the storage.

Hahahaha
I would really have the luxury of both which I'm enjoying now, in fact I have 2 PCs downloading stuff simultaneously & both with big storage capacity, heheheBut if really trapped in the situation you've gone through, I'd rather have a fast connection like you. Like you said, there's always the DVD burner there available & I really don't have the patience to wait for eternity for the download as well, hahaha

my first pc had NO storage capacity but it was also slow so i got into the habit of always downloading then burning and now this one is screwed up to where it has lost part of its hard drive but faster than when it had the whole amount so im starting to get happy with it since i hate going slow
