LoL..

I made this thread to get an idea of what the average Joe has for storage.

My range of PC's come out with 160 ~ 200GB hard drives at the moment and that seems the accepatble storage size for most new PC's.

However having said that 250GB drives are getting extreemly cheap now, probably due to the new wave of 600 + GB Hard drives hitting the market soon.

Sizes have been pushed higher and higher due to the Digital Video Storage requirments of HD TV and SD Digital TV recording.

For example My Media Center Records HD TV at around ~3GB per 30minuets.

Its a killer!

:laugh:

600gb in my pc 250gb in my portable, 80gb in my laptop for perth side.

At home in Singapore 4 pcs 200gb, 160, 120, 120. 2 laptops 40 and 60gb shared among my family.

Total of ... ermm... *math*... 1630.

Just got my pc so the 600 came with it. =)

Alpha, i heard that using SLI for graphic cards are at only about 80% efficiency ? So that means u get about 1.6x performance gain? Currently using a ASUS p5n32 SLI with the nforce4 chipset.Got an Asus 7900GT top edition in it. Thinkin of gettin another for the SLI but was thinking if it was more worth it to change the 7900GTX instead.

Honestly.. Id push the 7900GT that you have and wait untill the next wave of SLI cards.. I have a feeling we are about to see a leap in vga technology.. * Vista will be pushing that leap..

    • You're going to miss not worrying about rust in the strut towers like the Skyline shitboxes out there
    • A few little updates that weren't filmed due to not taking long to do or not interesting enough for their own video. My new K&N Air Filter arrived, I went with an RU-4180 which matched the dimensions of the universal cone filter the car originally had.  The battery had gone flat, while that was charging I tidied up the spaghetti wiring at the bulk head and down the sides of the engine Next job was to swap the stereo The Kenwood harness had the female ISO plugs cut off and the male ISO plugs cut off the adaptor loom and joined with bullet connectors. I ordered in a repair loom through work and re-did it all. New Kenwood unit installed (Android Auto, DAB, Bluetooth, Reverse Camera) The bonnet/hood gas struts have been poor since collecting the car. I couldn't find any suitable replacements locally so took a chance on a pair from AliExpress.  The originals don't use a retaining clip to secure the cup onto the ball fixture, would explain why I struggled for 10-15mins trying to pry off the cups. The ball fixtures unscrew using a 12mm spanner, new ones are the same size. Sadly no photo of them fitted, you're not missing much lol The dished Momo steering wheel got replaced with my Momo Tuner, turns out I ordered counter sunk bolts for the horn trim ring (like they normally are for the steering wheel) instead of allen cap (flat seat)  A terrible photo of a Quaife style gear shift knob I've had stashed in my tool box for many years after purchasing the incorrect thread size (I can see a pattern emerging with ordering incorrect parts...) Also threw in a cup holder and a (empty) Boss Coffee can, because why not  
    • GT-R clearly the better choice! The 300 is certainly not insaly fast but has a decent amount of poke. Does a nice little drift around the corners with a decent amount of throttle. It's VERY predictable in a slide too.  Feels so progressive! People probably presume there's a 25 year old driving it based on my behaviour this week! 🤣
    • Yeah Jap import. Fairlady Z then! I'm a bit the same.  They've been on my radar for a fair while but then just impulsively decided to buy one!  Was going to just buy an NA and add turbos to it later but decided to save the f'ing around and just buy the turbo version. 
    • Thanks mate, well done to you too! Yeah not looking forward to doing any major work to it!
