I have an 80 and I think Ive filled less than 10 Gb, including all games and music and everything.

I mean, a second hard drive is a very valuable thing, its true... but seriously, how can you even come CLOSE to filling 80 gigs??

My Music Folder alone is 30 gig. Both my 80 gigs HDD never have much more than 10 gigs available, except when I have to defrag.

Also, please note I have a dvd burner.

Same. Music, Porn, Anime, Misc Movies and TV Shows easily make me delete shit for space on a regular basis. I uninstalled HL2 basically as soon as I beat it... same with Doom 3. I really need to get a 300GB or something to add.

Yeah, forgot about mp3's, I've got an entire HD dedicated to those. Sitting at about 40-50 gigs on those, as well. Personally I've got a 200gb primary HD for Windows, games, programs, and pron. Another older 80gb one for downloads like patches, demos, that sort of thing (it's pretty empty actually, moved the pron to the primary one cause it was getting too full). Then a third even older 60gb one for my mp3's.

Considering that a 200gb HD is like 100 bucks these days, there's really not much reason to NOT have a shitload of storage.

Not that it hasn't been hashed over 1000 times but... I recently built my gf a new cpu and used the powersuply that came with the tower. It was a off-brand 350watt. Since i built the cpu she was getting irregular freezes and crashes. After testing the ram, processor, and HD i finally gave up... About 2 weeks ago i talked to a friend of mine and he assured me it was the p-supply. He siad often times ram issues are really just problems with the power.

Replace dit and havnt had the same issue yet....

So the extra 100 bucks for a good power supply is definetly worth it.. you dont know how many times i have formated that cpu thinking it was a bad install or bad ram.. sigh
