Yeah you're right about the hard drive being big for the time. I got my first PC around then and plumped for the 8GB drive. It was a Dell too and the bump in cost wasn't actually that much.

My roomie, who was far more computer literate at the time, said I would never fill it.

Heh. I filled that sucker up with a huge MP3 collection pretty quickly.

Similar enough specs but lower in many regards it was 2400 Irish pounds which if I remember correctly was around 1.4 US dollars per pound.

Nvidia riva 128 graphics card. I nearly peed my pants when I saw hardware accelerated quake when they brought out the alpha drivers.
