So unless I wanna use a crappy PCI sata card, and add another hard drive to an already aging computer, which I don't, I'll just have to delete stuff. I horde enough stuff as it is with 750 gigs, adding a 750gb or terabyte hard drive wouldn't help my hording problem...it would only increase it exponentially. I use a 400gb external backup drive for storing important files, which is more than enough space for most of my stuff. And if I'm going to be spending any money, its going to be toward a new monitor to replace my 19" CRT which takes up a ton of desk space. But being a jobless college student doesn't help me pay for luxuries like that  . |
I actually have a plan for when I'm employed again due to that exact problem. A computer case with as many 3.5" bays as I can find, some cheap hardware so that it's capable of running, a Linux install, and Samba. Fileshare goooo!
