I am going to install Mame 103 and I read that I need at least 40gigs to store that. I have a 40gig HD but it only has about 30 gigs available, I would like to take off everything that I don't need but I don' know how.
So I was going to go with a new HD so I would be sure to have enough room. I also have the NES and SNES roms to load.
Is the linked HD a good HD or is there something better?
The computer is for Mame only but I need to access the internet to get updates for Mame and Mamewah and drivers and such for the components.
Thanks

I'd go for one with an 8mb buffer (the one you linked to has 2mb).
Here's a popular choice:

This is one of the better deals that I have seen. Was going to pick one up but figured that I would wait until I am that far into my build.
