The 250 Gig hard drive is the only concern. Especially if you want to use the supermods.
If your case will hold another hard drive, I would go and snag a 1 or 2 TB hard drive and install it. With all the mods out there, it wouldn't hurt to have a second one with a huge capacity, as some of the mods are rather extensive. Check out the comments on the ATI 3200 graphics here, http://www.tomshardware.com/forum/25...graphics-rs780 That could pose an issue. So you can try it, but one of the comments said that anything below the 3850 was not good for gaming.

I have 2 500GBs, and I have 105GBs left on one, and 315 left on the other.
I was thinking of snaggin' a couple TB drives and run them all in a raid configuration. With SATA II cables. If I could afford it, I would get 6 TB drives since the case will hold that many, and run them all in a raid setup, and just transfer the info from the 2 500 GB drives to one of the TB drives, and mirror it to one or 2 of the drives incase one fried.

I work with a 160 GB drive. The secret is that everything that needs to be stored - all music, video and pictures - are on an external 2 TB drive. The main drive is only for stuff needed to run games. Works like a charm.

Imho, 250 GB is fine if you don't waste this harddiskspace with unneccesary files.
But it is true that mods do suck up alot of space. JSGME mods takes 3 times the space in actuallity. 1 instance of the file for SH4 to use. 1 instance in the MODS folder repository. And 1 file of probably similar size in the hidden JSGME Backup folder. So, do not store mods in there that you do not use anyway. Especially if you like mod soup.
