How many gigs does your computer have?

200 gig hd, 165 gigs free!

 

Main system 160GB

Girlfriends system 60GB

External enclosure 160GB

ps2 200GB

USB flash drive 128MB - just kidding

 

Hey FLIP!
How come you dont have SP2? Just wondering.

 

bet i could take a decent stab at that with the general response. sp2 is nothing but malicious spyware and poorly functioning security crappola, over-hyped by MS in another attempt to dumb-down the average computer user.

but then again, i can't speak for Flip. he is far beyond me, a mecha on the same level as the master tech-ai, ddp.

I wanted a Creative Zen but I thought they only came in 20GBs...New Release or does the company offer an upgrade??

 

uniique, they get bigger than that. i have a 60 gig Creative Zen that rocks my world. it's nothing new; they've been around at least a few years.

 

meh...there's something like 10 or 15 different creative zen models...when one doesn't specify, one goes for the outermost limits

 

i have 5gigs! on my 3rd comp
160gigs on the 2nd comp
360gigs on main comp
40 gigs external hard drive
and 20gigs on my ps2

 

200GB SATA on main computer
160GB IDE on secondary computer
13GB on PS2

260GB on crashed HDisks so they don't count.

I was talking about the Portable Media Center one, located here http://www.creative.com/products/product.asp?category=210&subcategory=211&product=9882


I stopped looking to purchase one when I saw the price vs what size hdd was offered

 

unique, your sig is wayyy to large, man. for the dial-uppers, that takes about 5 minutes to load, and that can really add up. it shouldn't be much over 90 kb, if that much. yours is about 700 kb, so you can see the problem. please change that.

and yeah, those media center things can be crazy expensive. arg. :-/

 

@Auslander
Problem Corrected.

So what would be the best one to buy. I'm looking for one large enough to hold a good bit of movies. What do you recommended?

 

thank you for the quick and extremely polite sig change! on behalf of many, much obliged!

for a little media center like that? personally, i think your best deal would be a cheapo laptop with a dvd-rom and a good external hard drive. by the time it's said and done, it would cost about the same amount of one of those Zens, and could hold 200 or so gigs.

but that could get difficult to carry around. i'd still do it, just for the bigger screen and mega-multitude of uses. those portable media centers really belong in a niche of their own, one of money and extreme, over-loaded convenience X-D.

but back to the portable MC's...i haven't done too much research into them beyond that Zen and another one i saw on http://www.thinkgeek.com. i just kinda gave up :-(

 

Same here, I kinda gave up. Maybe that laptop idea you said would be the better way to go. My current laptop is a Toshiba P-25 Series and it's about 9lbs so not to mobile in my opinion.

Maybe an IBM or slimline Dell would be good to bombard with .avi files.

As for the signature thing, no worries man. I'm here to help people and that was obiviously a hender to many. I just didn't realize it but you made it known and it's done.

 

heck, you could get yourself a nice, light, refurbished lappy off of newegg.com and a good, brand new external hard drive. the battery life and capabilities would bury all of those little media centers. something with a 12 inch screen and a carry bag...that would be pretty good for movies/music on the go. *edit* a padded carry bag would be a godsend for such a set up, lol.

 

You are in my head...I'm on New Egg this very moment.
Hey could you do me a favor...Look in the suggestions area. I just posted one a little while ago about aD Profiles...can you check it, tell me what you think

 

in my main computer 3x 250 gigs and 2x 80 gigs

in my media pc 2x200 gigs and 1x 160 gig

 

gonna need a link, uniique...i don't see that post anywhere.

*edit* nvm..i found it
