Overboard? >.>

Ok so i just got my laptop back from the shop. This means my 80 gig hard drive is wiped clean. The only thing i added to my computer was final fantasy 11 which is like a few gigs, a few AMVs i already made...bout 5 and a few mp3s...not much 10 gigs ...tops.

not only that but i have an external hard drive, also 80 gigs and totally clean.

Within a 2 month period....I filled up my computer. Between Animes I have put on my computer for upcoming projects, and AMVS.

I cant help it! about 140 gigs....full of AMVs and anime. There are so many good AMVs on this site. I cant help i'm a fan!!!! And i am gonna make a huge new AMV soon (along with a few smaller projects) so i need alot of anime....

BAH! am i over board?

Bah! Friends get no freebies :evil:

Seriously though. It's of huge help for stashing them AMV's. Get a good DivX-compatible DVD player too - then you can kick back and watch them on a TV!

...which I don't have, but eh :roll:

I'd say it depends largely on how much of it you actually get around to watching. I've had friends who follow a number of series that take up a large amount of HD space, and that's all well and good. But I've also known folks who are constantly downloading and filling their hard drives, burning stacks of DVDs, and only actually end up watching about 10 percent of it. That's probably what I'd label as overboard.

Like me. There are series I have I haven't finished yet. Why? Took one episode to figure out it was crap and I was stupid enough to choose the full series torrent.

Hmmmm....burn to DVD....for some odd reason i didnt even THINK of that.

wow...i'm dumb.

Well i plan on getting a new hard drive for anime.

and i'd most likely burn the anime shows to DVD, not the music vids...well maybe

thing is i'm a huge movie buff so even though i do download a ton of songs and anime...i do try and go out and get the DVDs at some point

Currently finishing up: Steel Angel Kurumi (thumbs way up)
Currently Starting: Chobit (looks good)
DVD starting to collect: Full Metal Alchemist (easy to catch up...only 3 out ^^)

Yea, HD space IS cheap. Last I checked, it was less than $0.90 per gig Canadian (I think 200GB's are the sweet spot for price/size right now) - that's like .60 American! Surely you can scratch up a few dozen bucks for that :)

I should also mention that this was at the store near my school, and online you can likely get MUCH cheaper than that.

Granted, I for one don't trust online purchasing of hardware :roll:

well yeah i got my 80 gig hard drive for 80 dollars (american)

1 dollar a gig isnt bad in my book at this current time we are living in.
the problem is i cant get an external hard drive...because i have a laptop, if i open it my warrenty goes bye bye....hence my problem

:(
