Maxtor Personal Storage 3200, 230 GB (298,09 GB) external HD.
OP
Bought a WD 500GB SATA HD yesterday to replace my internal 120GB PATA Game drive I bought back in 2002.
Mmm, 500gb of space. Time to fill it up!

I bought an Apple TV last week
OP
Going to buy a 24 inch monitor next week. Most likely a Dell 2407WFP. The only other one I that matches it is the Benq monitor that just came out but it's $200 more expensive and I'm not sure that it's worth it.
OP
Well I ordered the Dell 2407WFP!!! I'm so excited!!
The Benq FP241WZ looks very good but:
1. It's too new. (I usually wait 6months to a year before buying technology/games.
2. Too expensive.
3. Didn't like the button layout.
4. Didn't like their Dead Pixel Policy.
Also if I like the 2407 enought I'll probably buy another one and I want them to match.

I use a table as a desk, and the Dell 17" Trinitron CRT has made it bow some when on the thing. Still works, but boy, these LCD's have gotten nicer, and quite acceptable, even for a nitpicky person like I can be sometimes.

Picked up my new P182 to house all the new juicy hardware that wouldn't fit my ageing Sonata II (plus the door broke off )
I just got back from Fry's and purchased a little something for my birthday...
They had the Seagate 750GB, SATA HDD's on sale for $140.00, so I picked up one of these along with a Promise 4-port eSATA/SATA Controller card and a Kingwin External Enclosure that supports USB and eSATA interfaces.
That price is so kicking I'm thinking I should pick up one more HDD

If that seagate gets too hot you should definetly get your hands on the 1tb Western Digital Caviar Green drives.
I bought 6 750gb Seagates for my external enclosure and they are quite a bit hotter than the Western Digitals (Tested after copying hundreds of gigabytes of data to the drives).
I recently built a file server with 6 of those Western Digital 1TB drives and they are the quietest/coolest drives I've ever had.
Hmmm, need to update this thread with the file server I built last month.

I finally finished building my test PC:
Asus M2N-E SLI motherboard
AMD Athlon 64 X2 4200+ EE
Corsair DDR2-RAM Kit 4096MB
Asus Extreme N8600GT Silent 256MB video card
DVD+R/+RW SATA LG GH20NS DVD burner

Purchased a BFG 9800GTX w/512MB of frame buffer space for $199.99 at Fry's.
Now I need to get an upgrade on my old dedicated sli ps unit which I have on order now, the Thermaltake W0158RU.
Apparently these GPU's require around 24~26a of current

Bought a AMD Radeon HD 4870 to replace my NVIDIA Geforce 8800GT.
Stuck it in last night and watched Dexter S2/Heroes S2 last night so didn't do any benchmarking or play any games to test it out.
Also bought 2 WD Velociraptors the week before last and put them in RAID1 to replace my single WD Raptor and WD 500gb drive.
These Velociraptors are fast!

Adding onto my recent Graphics Card purchase I also did the following:
Antec Quad-Power 1KW PS Unit.
Trendnet 8-port Gigabit Switch with dozen CAT6 Patch cables of various lengths and colors.
And not really something I purchased unless you count the Intel Gigabit PCI NIC, but I was given a Maxspeed Thin Client awhile back for free and created a pfSense VPN Router out of it.
If anyone has ever used this distro before then you know it's based on BSD and some Monowall technology.
Now I need to tweak it some more

I just bought a WDElements external hard drive with 1TB storage for backups. Finally, I can make a full backup of both drives in my PowerMac G5
Just a recent purchase for my Pimp Daddy Gaming Rig.
