Thanks for the advice - I'll shift some funds from memory to HDD - upgrade
the 250GB to a 500GB... I'll be buying all the drives new, but I was
thinking that the 80GB is just a systems/DB disc and so doesn't need large
amounts of space - am I mistaken?

The Logitech pack comes with a remote which I believe merely reproduces
certain keypresses, so that should be fine I think.
