Toshiba is good. Just make sure you get a 5400R RPM HDD. 7200 RPM HDD's damage the casing and hardware in the MacBook since they get hot.

You know, I've been reading around, and I don't think this is true. Newegg reviews say ppl have put them in their MBs, and they run about 3-5C hotter. And some (the Hitachi 7200s) even use less power to run than the 5400s.

That's because they're the only Macs that are worth it

(I think most people would generally agree, though)

Well great news. My dad's Mac Pro gets here later today. Awesome!

I will be putting vista on it though Bootcamp so I can run 3DMark06 and Crysis. It should be fun see the power of Dual Quad Xeon's at 2.8ghz (Penryn)
Also I will be using an 8800GT and 6gb's of ECC RAM. Thats right, 6gb's.
