Thanks for your replies so far! Um...I should mention the price on these two for comparison as well. The lesser of the two I can get for $1,149 after rebates, and the better for $1,699 after rebates. I think the FireWire might not be that big of a thing really, since I can get a card for it if I find use for FireWire, anyway. Plus I'm thinking on HD size, I won't use but prolly 7-10GB of space, and anything beyond that, I'm going to burn to disk most likely...and memory's cheap right now. Oh man, the case looks so cool on the S504 though!!!!!!
Okay, have I just convinced myself to get the cheaper one?
Should I just buy both and send back the one I use less? j/k

In the back of my mind, I'm thinking that $550 price difference would more than pay for a Cobra intake for the 'Stang..... Goddamn it, why do these things always have to be such a trade-off/sacrifice????
Let me know what you think still!!!
FYI, there are no Toshiba's left in the City of Toledo AFAIK! I have to wait until Thursday morning for Best Buy to get one (or two) in.
