Amazing - you have such a nice gaming rig yet you use a generic keyboard and mouse? Sacrilege! Get a Logitech G15 Gaming Keyboard and a G5 Laser Mouse.

My (pitiful) gaming rig is listed in My System specs below my avatar. That is what happens when you go on a console shopping spree... and lose.

[Laurie52]

I Gig Dual Channel DDR2
512 MB Nvidia 8300GS
320GB Serial ATA HD
Dell 19 in 1 Media Card Reader

Not necessarily a "gaming rig", as I got this primarily for the business after my old HP crashed. But at least I can do more than "occasional gaming" and any new games this rig is perfectly capable of running without any problems.

At least I can swap out the Nvidia 8300GS for a better "gaming card" later. Add another gig of RAM too, if needed.

[Nik00117]

[supermep]

And excessive amount of music? Or perhaps video files.

I have 80 gigs of music :D

[Nik00117]

@ auh karlos: how the heck do you run out of room with 1.4 terabytes?? What do you all have?!?

I'll answer your question in full :) First off in "theory" I have 1570 GBs of storage space (not true due to how HDD manfs and XP manfs count a gig)

Either way lets get down to business here on what I do

I do video/music editing, so I of course have a fair sure of my own videos and music. You ever seen a uncompressed avi file? They get big, I mean I gotta downsize a few of mine which are 700-2 GIGs for only a few minutes of video.

Now lets get down to numbers

My "install" programs alone round out to about 200 GIGs, so thats already nearly 13% of my space I got another 40 gigs of music this is another 2.5%. Now since I do video editing a lot I have a lot of "stock footage" which I use to splice us to add a bit of touch to my videos.

Along with my movies this easily ammounts to another 500-600 GIGs. So thats another 38% of my storage space. Then I download a lot and I download RARs, I keep roughly on my HDD 200 gigs or so of RARs so thats 12% alone. Although that is only roughly 65% of my storage space I like to leave 10% free on my HDDs because I need room to defrag. So thats 75% so in actual data I have a bit over a TB, and I add onto this daily/weekly/monthly etc.

Video files, music files, games and programs can take up a large ammount of space. And nowadays with storage so cheap why delete or use DVDs etc?

[Aus_Karlos]

Nic00117 : Its simple

Well i recored HDTV (1080i) from my TV tuner. Use video editing software to delete the ads and leave them uncompressed on the HDDs so the PS3 in the theater room can play them.
I have about 700gbs in total, 200gb of backup DVDs to stream across the network instead of ppl fighting for them, 100gb of games apps ect (i also like to keep everything i download just incase i need it again). Then the rest is backup.
I have about 200gb free space.
So im running out of space fast.
