Hello Everyone, I am a new 3D Studio user. I am running 3D Studio 3 on a 486Dx2-66 with 16megs of RAM. It has a 340meg IDE hard drive. I have about 100megs of free disk space. I plan to get a larger hard drive soon. I was wondering what all of you would recommend? I only want to spend up to $1000 for a hard drive. I have this computer at home. I am using it to learn 3D Studio and create a demo tape. It wouldn't be for "large production use." Maybe a small freelance job here or there. I have also contemplated saving up for a PAR and the hard drive required. Would I need a larger hard drive than my current 340meg if I got the hard drive required by the PAR? The other idea I've considered is saving my money and sinking about $2000 into a pentium. It would probably come with a larger hard drive. I've already got the keyboard, monitor,etc, from my 486. Any ideas would be appreciated. Chris
