The moral of the story. Plan your hard ware purchases! Don't always go
for cheapest and don't always go for newest. Listen to people when they
say to get a PVR-1/2/350 as they are the best I've found. Don't just
settle for a 100 gig HD as you will run this out of space if you record
alot. Wait for the next paycheck and get at least 250. My advice to my
co-worker was to pick up the pieces as you can but make sure you get
what you know from others will work.
Absolutely right... the best thing is to do opportunistic buying. If you live close to a Fry's or comparable computer/electronics store/warehouse/barn, spread out your purchases over a couple of months. That way you *know* you can get the $0.20/GB hard drive special(s), the Antec Sonata for $60, the P4 mobo/CPU combo for $105, the gig of RAM for $60, etc. This applies to online shopping, too. And mail in any 0% credit card offer you have so you don't end up paying 200% of the final cost up front, or paying interest on rebates while they process.
