Wow, I thought I was the only one with a 1TB+.

Ok, new poll. How many of you would have the FBI knocking on your door if you shared EVERYTHING you have on kazaa?

LOL, actually I don't have it installed currently, but I have used it to snag a few songs here and there. I'm still using the old Hotline Client and Server.

280 gigs on my pc. But a lot of it is watesd b/c i'm a backup whore. Every game i have, I have an image on my 200 incase anything happens, and for the ones i play, i make another image on the 80 gig because I don't want anything to happen to the 200 in case something happens to real games. I also play with my camera a lot and probably have alteaset 20 gigs of photos....wow I just realized none are backed up...
hahaha....I think i need to find another hot deal, and maybe get 2 160+ drives and raid1 them to be safe.
I also have backups of my cds in lossless format--i did that recently after my friend has altesat 400 dollars worth of music jacked from his car and that sent a "wake up" call to me.

Man, a dual layer dvdr would sure be nice....blue ray even better ^_^
