Just got a Western Digital 120GB hard drive (7200RPM, 8MB cache) for $111 that I don't have.
This, after I slowly started to become convinced that my Maxtor was merely overheating
Oh well. That's an extra 80 gigs of space for shit I don't need

Blah, those were 95 bucks after rebate at my local Circuit City awhile ago...
Now you can put every program you own on the HD with space still left over!

That's what the other HDD was for

You know, I asked Crayz something earlier...
"What the fuck am I going to do with a quarter terabyte of drive space?"
And I answered myself thusly:
"YARRRRR"

Unfortunately I don't currently have an ATA card so I had to sacrafice its IDE slot for my third hard drive (and currently booting off the Maxtor).

This is why it's more convenient to have one huge HD than two small ones. I know you can buy 180GB drives already, and bigger ones too IIRC.
PS. For those who mention porn, a HD is actually a poor storage location for porn. If it fails, you lose your entire collection at once, and you can only watch it while seated at your computer, ie- alone. It's better to burn it onto DVD-Rs so you can watch it on a regular TV in your bedroom while giving your wife the meatstick.

Only applicable if you have a wife to give the meatstick to, of course.

What gets me every time is how Mike is so
nonchalant about it, and yet deadpan at the same time.
Meatstick. That's fucking hilarious

Hey, it's all the Internet. For all we know, he has a big goofy grin on his face and is giggling like a schoolgirl when he types that out.

Perhaps it's the fact that my first visualization of him was the photoshopped pic of him tossing Force Lightning, but I have trouble seeing Mike giggling like a giddy schoolgirl.
