Since I'm heading down to Houston tomorrow I thought I would get a nice little point and shoot to complement my 40D, and so when I head over to Louisiana for Mardi Gras I have a small camera and not a XBOX huge DSLR that would be insanely hard to keep track of and not break while I am uh "doing stuff".

Speaking of XBOX, yours seems to be decaying nicely...

 

[Spock]

Yep, and its the best paperweight/monitor stand I've ever spent $70 on.

I'm still considering getting a 1-1.5 TB drive for my PS3... where did you buy it?

I don't think you can get one for the PS3, unless you're going to use it as an external drive. Highest capacity internal 2.5" drive I have seen is 500GB.

I don't think you can get one for the PS3, unless you're going to use it as an external drive. Highest capacity internal 2.5" drive I have seen is 500GB.

Only if you want to keep the hard drive inside the PS3. You can use a SATA adapater that allows you to keep the SATA drive externally, thus you are not limited to just 2.5" drives:

I just ordered a Xecuter HDXT PS3 Hard Drive Xtender and am now trying to decide what hard drive to get to replace the current HDD in my PS3:

• Western Digital WD3200BEVT Scorpio
  • 320GB 5400 RPM SATA 3.0Gb/s 8MB Cache

I am currently leaning towards one of these (price includes tax & shipping):

• $100 Samsung HD103UJ Spinpoint F1
  • 1TB 7200 RPM SATA 3.0Gb/s 32MB Cache
  
  
• $105 Western Digital WD10EACS Caviar Green
  • 1TB 7200 RPM SATA 3.0Gb/s 16MB Cache
  
  
• $110 Seagate ST31000333AS Barracuda
  • 1TB 7200 RPM SATA 3.0Gb/s 32MB Cache
  
  
• $130 Seagate ST31500341AS Barracuda
  • 1.5TB 7200 RPM SATA 3.0Gb/s 32MB Cache

I'm open for suggestions. The best value is certainly the 1.5TB Barracuda drive from Seagate, but I'm tempted to stick with Western Digital as I have a great track record with their drives, and I know they are very quiet drives, which I like. I'm definitely weary of Samsung drives, as I have heard iffy things about them in the past... but a $100 is certainly a great price for a 1TB drive w/32MB cache. 👍

Very nice! I would love to nab a couple decent lights for the amateur shoots I do from time to time.

Here's kind of a summary shot of my latest purchases. It was a combined effort for sure:

Oh and a cup of coffee.

 

[Sureboss]

It's rave time!

 

[YSSMAN]

For the 360...

...Its harder than I remember it being. I'm old.

 

[nick09]

DN, I think you might want to look at a 2TB HDD from here. The HDD has been out for about a month and by the looks of it, its a good drive but a tad costly.

Wow, those are pretty cool. 👍
How much does stuff like that run for?

Never thought of that...

Hawt! now post some pics using these.... also are you going to be running them indoors only or do you plan on having a power source for outdoor use as well?

 

[Omnis]

I can tell those are your wife's walls.

Sorry, had to quote it, that movie was on last night too...

Its LOUUUUUDDDDD

 

[TB]

Indeed. Even she's considering repainting.

good spot!

Take the trash out bro..... Come on, brake from the stereotype, flee from the supression of our manhood.

Looks like you're gonna need over night parts from Japan.

Does anyone know how that happened. It's pretty messed up.

 

[Keef]

Aww yeah! Got a little DSM action goin' on!

 

[Azuremen]

It is a DSM, they just blow up. Kind of their specialty.

 

[Keef]

Nothing is safe, from the crankshaft itself to the intake manifold, apparently.
