| Hard Drive Question Ok so I have found out that 680 gigs is not enough for necorum. Seems as though the bigger the hard drive size i get the faster I fill things up. So my question is does anyone know of a cost effective LARGE <--- Hard drive. Pref. a terabyte or 2

| I think the largest drives at the moment are only 750gig and they offer far from the best $/GB ratio. The best value drives are 320/400Gig models in terms of cost per gigabyte, and 500Gig is about thje ceiling of reasonable cost with 750gig drives carrying a large premium

| It's not really safe to support two 8800GTX's (i presume) on a 500watt PSU for one thing you probably don't have two PEG connectors and the necessary headroom, can you give us some more info on your PSU and system?

| If like me you keep music in lossless format you can easily eat into the hundreds of gigabytes region. But having massive storage to take this to a party seems overkill, I keep a DVD+RW of lower bit rate files for a similar purpose which I can play using a dvd player or pc and add to as I update my library.

| A DVD full of mp3's seems like a better idea, who needs 10,000+ tracks at a party!
