Man, this new case is awesome for small form factor....

Also, I wouldn't mind just two 3TB HDDs for RAID 1.... I would like to backup my entire movie library onto some redundant HDDs with no compression.... VHS wont take up to much space if I have to backup those, too bad they take forever to convert since you have to play the whole movie 1X speed. Then I could put all those HDDs on a NAS, and stream over network anywhere in the house and never have to deal with DVDs for the most part. Too bad that would cost a crap ton of money XD (for me anyways) and 3TB of storage probably wouldn't be sufficient for all the DVDs I have.

Side Note: I don't pirate stuff.

What do you guys think the perfect monitor size is if you're going to be sitting relatively close to the Screen but you may be farther away at times? Maybe 23"?

I have a 2.5" 320GB drive in an external enclosure with little space left on it. I'm going to need more as I purchase more games, download more videos, files, make backups etc.. I may transfer the files on my Windows install to a fresh Windows install on the new drives when I get them. Then I'll use on or both the 2TB drives I have now for backups and use the 3TB drives for games.

Why not start a cloud service with all that

They're still working out the bugs in IPoAC but its still better than satellite.

Sorry for jumping in the line but I think :
_Most people don't trust cloud service
_Can't access Internet = Game over
Hence i devide data into multiple drives : Anime drives (3 Ex HDD ~ 3TB) , PC games (1 EX HDD 3.0) , Nintendo games ( 1 Ex HDD 3.0 ) , Sony games (1 EX HDD 3.0) , Movie : ENG,CHI,JAP and Cartoon ( 3 EX HDD ~ 1.5TB) , Temporary drive (contain temporary data for moving later , 1 Ex HDD 3.0)
All of them are 2.5" HDDs (Apacer , Lacie , Seagate) . No love for porn

Maybe i should buy 2x4TB HGST (Hitachi deskstar) 3.5" HDDs for backup at some point . I spent 5000$ last 2 months for PC (mobile) stuffs , my wallet is empty now

Why do you guys have so much? i have 2 3.5" EHDD, one is 250GB and the other is 500, the only thing organized is my anime, movies, books, youtube vids, software, games, (and of course porn) is scattered between both drives. The thing is, most of the people who i allow to see the contents of my drive always go " :O Whoa, Dude, what do you do with so much stuff?" and a times makes me feel that i should spend some time off my computer, but seeing everyone spew out their vast libraries actually makes me feel a bit better about myself.

Pretty much this. You either choose to control it or let it run free.

Also, I admit my library is big, too bad it's all stuck on optical media currently.

Also, am I the only one that DOESNT do porn here?

"Relatively close" and "farther away" are not usable quantities. Please clarify.

My HDDs is full of games I haven't played and videos I haven't watched. I guess you could say I have virtual/digital hoarding tendencies.

Yes. And possibly on the internet. Unless you have a wife. Hell even then it's unlikely.
