Latest home setup w/ X60s
Latest home setup w/ X60s
After some cleaning and organizing, I've settled on this setup for the time being. I would like to get a 20-22" LCD, though.

Re: Latest home setup w/ X60s
Very nice setup. I'm really liking all these setups that use glass tables. I just have a couple of suggestions: put the printer on the floor if possible. If not, swap it with the X60. And, remember to keep your coffee away from your Thinkpad. Coffee and laptops don't mix well.RUSH2112 wrote:After some cleaning and organizing, I've settled on this setup for the time being.

Combining all four of my USB hard drives at home, I have 810GB of external storage. Most of it is for storing MP3 files generated from my CD collection. At work, I have a 200GB USB hard drive used mainly for backing up data from my experiments.Gustavo wrote:Thats alot off external storage space 850GB!

Well, if you want real lossless, you might as well get them all in FLAC; although there goes any saves one might have made in space as FLAC files are rather large compared to other formats.

I met someone who looks a lot like you.
She does the things you do.
But she is an IBM.

I prefer MP3 because it's the most universal format. And it's 810GB because I have a huge CD collection, around 6,000.gearguy wrote:810GB of MP3? :/
DELETE and replace with WMA or OGG plz

Anyway, regardless, that's a crap load of gigs!

My music collection is only about 2000 songs right now. I am working on expanding it (With 320kbps quality only). Right now only about a sixth of my music is 320k.
I download a lot of movies, many of which are dvd images, so those take up quite a bit of space.
I use the 250GB drive for backup purposes only, and the 500 is for media and other stuff. I am getting close to needing another 500, though (down to 32GB free).

There is a lot of anecdotal evidence flying around the WWW that your VHS/Beta tapes will outlive a burned DVD for archival purposes.bigtiger wrote:By the way, I burned a lot of DVDs. A lot of family movies are archived in DVD format.
