If you're working with Blender your best bet would definitely be RAM, or 3D card, or CPU. Not knowing the specs of everything else, I would just generally say that HDD would be last on my list for a bang/$ upgrade for a blender box. I can't imainge blender being HDD I/O bound unless you have really HUGE textures, and even then sufficient RAM would compensate. Specifically, in today's market, you'd be way better off getting good SATA equipment than mid- to low-end SCSI. Again, bang/$ on that is waaaaaaaay better.
I really don't want to screw around with old tech (or unfamiliar tech.) I
just wanted the fastest tech for one machine I am using to run Blender
animation software. Maybe a better idea is to spend on RAM. I have 512 MB
(maybe go to 1 GB rather then invest in SCSI.)
