LOL

Well I have 240gb and i have run out of space... im sure you will learn what to do with it all in no time at all.

If not I can give you a mailing address to send this unwanted hardware to, it will go to a good home :D

Send it to me :)

Oh yea go host a warez server.... :D
(not a good idea)

Maby sell it on ebay?

180 + 80 = 260 GB = 266240 MB / 650 MB = 409,6 CD's to make backup :)

Get a digital camera. You'll have it filled in no time.

or discover porn on the internet, or discover Direct Connect, or even better copy all the video from your DV camera to your computer.

Just be thankful you have the space... I'm sure you'll find a way to fill it up in no time.

I swear I have 409.6 Backup CDs Laying around, and I only have about 25% of the space you now have.

lets seem 120 GB + 2x40 GB + 45 GB + 2x30 GB + 20 GB = 325 GB and I managed to fill it all at one point, you'll find a use for your space, if not I can surely recommend a few things.

Well.. I'm in the same situation sort of, only you've got... well, over twice as much space as me :stickout: With my 120GB hard drive that I'm hoping will arrive today, I plan on installing FreeBSD on a partition, along with Slackware Linux and Windows 2000 on their own partitions, and am probably going to use the rest for movies, mp3's, and my digital camera pictures (I currently have over 5GB of pictures of my son in just a little over a year, it grows fast hehe).

Maybe you could make iso's out of all of your cd's so if an original gets too stratched you can burn a new copy? :) My fiance does that... Scan a bunch of stuff in the highest DPI your scanner can handle and you'll have some good sized files that'll fill it up slowly, make some large files in Photoshop and that'll take care of some of it too :D Games are always good and usually take up a good amount of space, I dunno :D Just some ideas, I can't wait until I get my hard drive today -- waiting anxiously for FedEX to knock on my door so I can get to transferring everything over.
