I'm currently using a Maxtor One touch 500GB for my TM and have a Brother MFC 240 for a printer. I'm on 10.5.1 and so far so good. I just picked up a 1GB upgrade for my IMAC using the type of memory you list for $59.99 from Crucial

Great!

Thanks, Man.

How much did it cost you for the Maxtor and the Brother MFC 240?

Thanks again.

IIRC it was $99.95 for the printer at Wal Mart and Office Max was having a $30 off sale on the drive - $129

I have a Brother HL-1440 that prints at 15 pages per minute but only in black and white and holds up to 250 sheets(about $150 or lower). My external HDD is a Seagate 750GB FreeAgent Pro that I got for about $300. The Seagate works seamlessly with the Time Machine app after it is formatted and partitioned, and it is a very slick addition to any desktop.

P.S. The Seagate drive can connect via USB 2.0, Firewire 400, or eSATA.
