Wow, I couldn't cope with such a small HDD. Should be sweet after upgrading.

I know what you mean...I got a 120 gig with my latest machine thinking I'd never fill it. 3 months later...yeah it's full.

I have a 250GB in my Desktop, a 80GB in my laptop and a 300GB LaCie Brick External, and I'll be buying a new Brick soon, hopefully a 500GB. It's amazing how the space fills.
Saying that though, I've still got 199GB left on my Desktop and 35GB left on the laptop. Must be because I transfer loads of $#@! to the Brick for archiving and back-up.

Asus K8N-DL motherboard
2x Opteron 246's (2.0ghz and with SSE3)
1x 1 gig dual channel kits pc3200 reg ecc ram (2-3-2-5)
BBA x1900 AIW
150GB 10k rpm Raptor
2x 250GB 7.2k rpm HDDs

then the 1tb NAS Coffee Box.

I built them both at the end of this past summer to replace my failing dual athlon system, which I had had for the better part of 5 years and was already in the 2.1 version (i kept track of it's 'version' based on hardware revisions i made. it jumped to 2.0 when i had to replace the motherboard).
