Try zipzoomfly.com pretty good prices and free shipping with 2nd day air.
As a general rule the most expensive one you can afford hasn't screwed up
too many people.

Hi Dennis,

Chances are that virtually any IDE (pata) hard drive is going to be
compatible with your system (it does not support sata drives). If you're
currently using a maxtor, then stick with them - I use them in pretty much
every machine I build, they're good and reliable. I get a lot of parts at
tigerdirect.com

Thanks for that. The other question is that I noticed you can get
120gb,160gb and 200 gb Maxtor DiamondMax 10. Do you know the maximum an
advent 3207 will take or is that a stupid question

Hi,

There shouldn't be a practical upper limit provided the system BIOS supports
48-bit LBA. If not, the drive space made available will be limited to 127GB.
Any recently built machine should be ok with the larger drives.

Rick

I think I will go for the Maxtor DiamondMax 10 120gb OEM ATA133 8MB
bufffer(6l120PO) based on the advice you have given me.

Hopefully that will work in my machine

Cheers
