Alien426 Posted December 30, 2003 Share Posted December 30, 2003 Originally posted by SamNMax A $3500.00 PC 80 GB HD??? LCDs suck (they equal money thrown out the window) I got mainly clothing, after shave, chocolate, money (ka-ching!). It doesn't really matter. I can and do buy most things I want (games, DVDs, books) throughout the year. May sound a bit corny, but I enjoyed the holidays for being with my family and having some days off...

Am I to believe that you don't actually used them to get a huge collection. And, DeMonteford (leiscter, I may have to learn how to spell leiscter), Dundee (my plan to get as far away from my home town as possible in underway) and another place I've forgotten (and therefore am destined to go to).

Joshi Posted December 31, 2003 Share Posted December 31, 2003 Originally posted by Alien426 80 GB HD??? Seriously, what do people fill these things with. The only thing I can think of would be loads of pictures and entire DVD movies. I have a 14 GB hard drive (yeah, I know) and i've filled about a tenth of it.

Thrik Posted December 31, 2003 Share Posted December 31, 2003 Nice triple posting, there. I have an 80GB which currently only has 30GB free after about two months of usage. Hard as it may be to believe, some people actually do things with their computers that do require a lot of space. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alien426 Posted December 31, 2003 Share Posted December 31, 2003 MP3s? Scans? Downloaded stuff? GAMES? I've encoded all my audio CDs so that I don't have to bother changing them and they don't wear out. Even if you scan a CD cover at 600 dpi and save it in JPG format (with minimal compression) it weighs around 3 MBs. I keep those big scans so that I don't have to do another scan when I want to have my CD covers in another resolution. Now don't tell me to burn them onto CDs. I'm not a freaking DJ to rummage through hundreds of discs. I know, I'm pretty lazy (that may be the main reason for my big HDs). Every new game requires over 1 GB of space. If you want to keep some of them on the disc you'll have them standing on each other's toes pretty soon. I don't download illegal stuff (except for the occasional MP3) and have bought 160 GB yesterday to replace a 60 GB disc and be company to a 80 GB.

Joshi Posted January 1, 2004 Share Posted January 1, 2004 Yeah, I suppose so. I guess the main reason I don't do any of that (apart from the fact that i don't need/want to) is the fact that XP on a 12GB HD is questionable to begin with, without scouring loads of useless crap on the HD with it. That why all excess crap and most programs go on my seperate 80gb hard drive (holy crap! I thought it was a 20, or even 40, for some reason, I forgot that I had one too). Even still, it's only 20 full, but that's full with word docs, hi res pics (mostly my own creations, check out the bottom link in my sig), a few sounds to accompany me whilst I browse windows (mostly CMI quotes) a whole crap of downloaded stuff I don't even use anymore and a few large (and small) programs. All that's on my main hard drive is the OS with accompanying software, hardware settings (and software for the hardware) and a few programs that need to run off the same drive as the system like my antivirus program. That's only 2.7GB's worth of stuff on a 12Gb HD, so that keeps XP running smoothly (enough, but at 501MHz with 128 Mb's of ram, it can be a little annoying, thus the reason for the triple post (for those of you who can't see them all, that's because I got rid of them)) In conclusion, I don't need 80GB's, but I got them, so someone tell me what to do with it, quick!
