New Rig!

Posted on:

Well my Birthday is tomorrow (21st) so I went and blew $900 at BestBuy Sunday. Why would I do such a thing you might ask?  Because of this: HP Pavilion Media Center m8400f PC + 19" WideScreen LCD with built in speakers + HP All-in-one = 900 bucks in this weeks ad. Oh yes. ——————————————————————————————- Now picture those 4 cores at 2.2GHz bringing you these results: Rawr, been playing World of Warcraft with full settings and still getting 35+ FPS in the cities. Not to mention I can now enjoy Half Life 2 and the wonders of Garrys Mod (even […]

Passport Drives Unite

Externals Galore!

Posted on:

So I bought a Western Digital My Book 80GB external HDD I think 3 years ago? and it’s a good drive but I’m now sick of running out of room on my external HDDs (and internal), I have a 160GB external WD ‘passport’ (2.5″) drive but it’s silly to use that as a main external HDD in my humble opinion. Which leads to my latest purchase, the Seagate FreeAgent Pro 500GB.  This baby was on sale for $100 at BestBuy this week (down from $200).  It’s not only USB 2.0 but also eSATA, no firewire – however firewire 400 is […]
