I've got Maxtors in mine but I have used Western Digital. Have had good luck with both.
Just don't go spending alot of money on the fastest stuff. Processors will only go so fast...the ultra fast HDs out there will run faster than the processor, so it's a waste to go spend alot of dollars for the super fast ones.
Just like building a racing engine, build it for a purpose. If ya build it for the drag strip, it ain't gonna produce in a road race. Build one that will do both and it will never be the fastest on either track.
Just my 2 cents.
