New computer

I'm in a bit of a problem...

3 or 4 weeks ago my hdd creashed, it won't boot. So i came 2 the conclusion that either i had 2 buy a new HDD or a brand new computer.
I had a 100 G HDD, but it was 2 less 4 my friends episodes and music and of course tons of games

If i buy a new HDD it needs 2 b bigger than 100G and then my CPU and memory r 2 slow. If i have 2 buy all that new i might as well buy a new computer.
So i'm going 2 buy one. My budget is 1000 euro's, which one would u guys buy? zo i can c those and make my final decission and dl armagetron again

if your ganna go pre-packaged then go with alien-ware, if not then your best bet would be to build your own

go with alienware if you want to pay alot of money for an ultimately useless paintjob. get a dell...or a falcon nw, they can be cheap

one trick that has worked for ppl is putting the hdd in the freezer then reconnecting and copying the files.

Does that also work for hda, hdb, and hdc?

i know dell though, that's very expensive in the Netherlands...

btw iceman, u said u can DRIVE to me, would be pretty hard; driving from holland to england
