Let's make it even more complex. There is a shock-proof and 100%
slient storage: SSD. Big SSDs are still way too expensive but the
price for smaller units (< 16GB) is coming down fast. Froogle
is your friend.

(I went the other way and made a compressed ramdisc-only linux.
The HD only spins at startup/shutdown and if i process bigger
files, like videos. Working with office, netbeans or surfing
the web in total slience is a unreal but cool experience)
