David Stewart Posted January 26, 2005 Posted January 26, 2005 Thanks for the heads-up Roadie! That is a helluva price for a 160gb. It so happens that I'm in the market for another HD, since my old slave Fujitsu bit the dust last night. You can't beat that for the price, even cheaper than those WDs that Best Buy was running on special a few months ago (120gb for $100-$50 rebate=$50 total). Only downfal is that you had to wait 6 weeks for rebate check. Is the Maxtor special straight prices, with no rebates to send off? If so, that it super...instant savings. Thanks again, DS Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

David Stewart Posted January 26, 2005 Posted January 26, 2005 AG: Nice! Looks like I'm on the way to being broke again! A new Samsung CRT, a new 160gb HD.....when will it end? But it's hard to pass up a good deal, especially if you are a tightwad like myself. Now I know what my wife means after a day of shopping. She comes home with an assload of stuff...I used to ask her "Did you really have to buy all this stuff?". She would always reply..."It was on sale, I couldn't pass it up." From now on, I can't say anything to her about her shopping habits, I am now just as guilty. DS Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

red930 Posted January 26, 2005 Posted January 26, 2005 Speaking of "chunk". Guy walks into a bar. The bartender asks him what'll he have. The guy says "anything but a Corona". The bartender thinks for a second then makes him a Bloody Mary. When the guy finishes his drink the bartender asks again. "Anything but a Corona". The bartender thinks for a second then makes him a Martini. When the guy finishes his drink the bartender asks again. "Anything but a Corona". The bartender thinks for a second then makes him a White Russian. As the bartender pushes the drink across the bar he asks, "why anything but a Corona"?! The guy looks up and says, "I had ten Corona's last night and ended up blowing chunks". The bartender says, "if you drink too much of anything you'll end up blowing chunks". The guy places his head on the bar and sobs, "you don't understand, Chunks is my dog"! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
red930 Posted January 26, 2005 Posted January 26, 2005 My local store is expecting 17 more units Wednesday afternoon. I'm buying seven to build a storage array. The cost per GB is so low at $.40 per. I have a gigabit switch, an old ATX server case, an ECS K7S5A mobo with an Athlon 2000+ CPU and two PCI ATA-133 controllers with four ports. After deducting for overhead I should end up with just over a terabyte of storage for the slide collection I inherited from my Mom. My Nikon slide scanner is being delivered Friday. Got if from a guy that didn't know what he had. I also picked up a used DLT tape drive and media at an auction for $10.00. As soon as I can scrounge up a SCSI card, I'll use it for offline storage.

red930 Posted January 27, 2005 Posted January 27, 2005 1,064GB 1.064TB One thousand sixty-four gigabytes. One million sixty-four thousand megabytes. Just over ONE TERABYTE. $507.00 including tax for the seven drives. I paid $499.00 for my first 40 Megabyte drive in 1988. My how time flies?! Seven 160GB Maxtor drives on two ATA-133 four port controllers. It took just over an hour to format. I'm running Windows Server 2003 with all updates applied.
