1. The top end disks are re-jigged SCSI disks, and can act more
asynchronously given the right drivers ( getting further away from
IDE), as Delio said. They also tend to spin faster - up to 15,000rpm.
The only commonly sold SATA disks I see are 7200rpm, not having
checked many suppliers. Would

based ATA machine, and use software
raid to enhance performance. That's what I see as best value for a
grunty machine atm. I'm sure that view will be out of date by next week,
but we'd never get any new toys if we kept thinking that!
If you want ultimate performance, then SA
Thanks Nick / Hugo, that was about what I thought. So the difference
seems to be about this:

A normal and decent desktop case should not have problems with cooling.
It didn't in the past, it shouldn't have now. Perhaps in a micro-ATX
case this becomes an issue, b

The cables are thinner and easier to route in a tight space :)
Thats seriously about the only advantage. And they might not work well
in Linux depending on your BIOS (see my thread called: Re: Ubuntu
