Also how big is your mame folder? as mine is 70+gb then with the other emulators it comes to well over 150gb...
Why not buy one of them external hd's from DABS or whoever the 500gb for 70odd quid?
Graphics card i can't recommend the sapphire ati radeon 512mb ddr3 pci-e card from dabs @£90 quidish it has 2 dvi outputs (i use dvi to hdmi for my hd tv in my bedroom) as well as a svhs output too

It works fantasticly well with all the games i've thrown at it including crysis,gears of war,call of duty 4 and sega rally..

i have the 120gb hdds allready ( so will use them at 1st to get it all up and running etc, and no plans of HD yet, need a new tv 1st!
the mame, only got the basics 10gbs worth, asked in another thread on here about where to buy the full dvds of it from , think you sent me the link before?
Oh if you don't have a hd tv don't worry so much now then
on vista media centre a film is around 3-4gb and an episode of Csi Las Vegas is about 1gb in size...
I probably did the link for the full disks is
