    go for the 2,5 if u need 2 travail a lot... just plug it in and u can work with it, but look out for what kind of usb port u have, version 1 or 2...

    pretty good catches if ur looking for a system on the cheap.
     
  6. yea. no matter how i look at it, if i buy barebone kit plus upgrades, or build from bottom up, or a fully assembled pc, it still costs me more or less 500. maybe im expecting too much -lol

    wow... lol size is about portable or non portable hard drive. the portable hard drive, max gb is 320 so far which do not need power from your wall outlets. the biggest for the non portable hard drives are about 750gb-1TB which you need to plug into a wall outlet to run the hard drive. get it? lolz

    just do it the "relatively simple way"

    go to one of those computer shops
    buy an external portable drive (costs more, but saves hassle for her to put it together)
    (eg mybook, lacie, maxtor)
    u just plug it in via a usb cable
    and u can use the spaces thats available on it =)

    just look for the 2.5" because they don't need power (usually)

    i've got 2 160gb and 2 80gb externals lol (all 2.5")
    they seemed to get filled quite easily ahhha

    lol if you resort to that give up on the installing get this:

    [​IMG]

    Western Digital Passport External Harddrive, comes in 80gb-250gb flavors, buy it at your local stores or order online before deleting anything -lol

    or buy a pack of DVDs

    drag data into burning program, hit burn hahaha then delete from comp.

    i don't think i'm gonna upgrade. reading all the stuff that other PA members wrote, my head is still spinning. too difficult. if i screw it up, i'll just cry for years and years.
    no hello kitty stickers. swarovski crystals baby. it's gonna be bang-ing!!! -rockon

    future shop. send it to my house and i'll put crystals on it for u too! haha
