Do you think 900 GB is enough storage!

Hell, you could put pictures of each dimple on each of the myriads of golf
balls I've lost on that machine!

Well...the 150 gig drive is a superfast unit on which I keep only the
operating system and a few applications.

The 250 gig drive is what I back the 150 gig drive onto, and also work
product from the 500 gig drive.

The 500 gig drive is where I store data and work product.


Each night, my server, a separate machine, runs a backup procedure.

Oh...forgot to mention that from time to time I swap hardware in and out
to other boxes. Thus, the ATI card I orginally had in this machine is
enjoying a second life. I think this is the machine in which I updated
the CPU, too.

When you swap hardware in and out, do you have to re-certify the
system with Microsoft? If so, how big a hassle is that?

It hasn't happened to me yet, but I keep reading about it. I thought for
sure it would have happened with the CPU swap.

I have had to reactivate MS Office and a few other programs when I have
reinstalled my system. All the do is ask you why you are having to
reinstall, I tell them to speed up my machine, and they say ok.

I think the fact that you call up they assume it is a legal copy.

You could pick up some rendering work on the side from
ILM with that machine.

Supplier(s). The monitor was not part of the original 2k, nor was the HP
DVD writer.
