I've been looking for an external hard drive since I don't have one yet. I want to make sure that what I get isn't really bad and fools me by having a low price. so what do I look for when selecting an external hard drive?
size
rpm
???
This is the one I'm currently looking at and it semms just a little too good to be true.

p.s. also what's the rpm of this one? I can't find it.
Answer
For external drives you first need to deside on two things.
1 what size do you want/need? 2.5in (about the size of a deck of cards) or 3.5in (about the size of a VHS tape)
2 How much storage space do you need? 500GB? 1TB? 2,3,4,6TB? This depends on how much stuff you need to store.
You need to know what port you need to have. almost all computers have USB 2.0, some new ones have USB 3.0. Rarely you might have an eSATA or Thunderbolt port. eSATA and Thunderbolt are the fastest, USB 3.0 is a little slower but much faster than USB2.0.
If your Computer only has USB 2.0 there is no reason to buy a faster model. (side note USB 3.0 will also work on 2.0 ports but will not be any faster)
Look on Newegg.com at the drives and reviews.
RPM does not really matter on an external drive...the transfer speed is determined by the port much more than the RPM.
Stick with a major name drive Seagate, WD, Hatichi.

What is the BEST computer system in the market rigth now?

I would like to know what best computer system is out there in the market. And I mean a bad boy, a computer that can do EVERYTHING. A computer system that has at least 500+GB Hard drive, 12GB+ RAM, graphics to support HDCP, and all that stuff with more than 6 pixels per pipe line and 1GB of ram dedicated to the card, and a 512mhz processor. The computer has to have a HD-TV tuner, with HDMI INPUTS and OUTPUTS!!!! Plus the HDMI is usefull for DTS, Dolby, and video too. Blue-Ray CD-Burner and that means the processor, RAM, and Video have to EXCELL for the Blue-Ray to play smoothly. Sound card, one of the BEST out in the market, and I mean BETTER than creatives silly little cards. Wireless, HDMI, VGA, PS/2 USB, FireWire, Digital Card reader (SD, Micro Drive, ect) Ethernet, or Wi-Fi. Of course, this system has to be 64-bit based, as 32-bit is no good.
I am probably being unrealistic here, and would like to know if there is such a system like this or that comes close to it.

. Ya, Dell is good. You might want to check out the 64studio for ideas first. This site is interesting for Gateway and NEC info @ http://www.mobilewhack.com/computers/ ;
"...The basic NEC model goes on sale on the 27th of January, 2006 and costs $3,300. You can upgrade to a AMD Athlon 64 X2 processor 3800+, a GeForce 6600GT, 1000GB (500GB * 2) HDD etc. at an added price.
" [you might want to go to an external storage]; Users can add up to three 400e Expansion Chassis units to a Iomega StorCenter Pro NAS 400r server, with each expansion adding 1 terabyte of storage space to the host NAS device. Thus, a user can initially go for a 400r server which comes in capacities of 640GB to 1.6TB" ... etc.
