I do think a MDD will last you at least two years, but you’re the only one who can decide... Here a few thoughts: - MDDs support harddisks larger than 128GB (without extra hard- or software). - They are nicknamed windtunnel, meaning that they are rather noisy. An MDD also leaves you some cash for

I reckon its time to move on from my faithful old tower, but being a nongeek I really could use an opinion or two on what to move up to - my two main reasons to go to a later model is that YouTube videos are rarely functional, and the 128 max on internal HD is a bit confining. Otherwise it handles
