Just bought a 750GB Seagate for $120 off Newegg and a HD dock. That'll put me over 2 terabytes.

So, I'll probably be getting a 360 controller (wired version) for Windows on Friday. I've been wanting one for a while and needed to check something over in the thread about it. I couldn't see much point of the wireless version, it costs alot more and I don't really need wireless.

Well if there is any good thing about there being a crappy Speed Racer movie that I'll refuse to watch, it's that you can find the whole original series on DVD in say Kmart for what turns out to be less than a dollar an episode.



I forgot how funny it was, it's freaking hilarious how they did things. They throw out ridiculous numbers like nothing else. I mean 5,000hp to each wheel and the Mammoth Car that can go 300mph.

Oh and by the way!!! Unknown to Speed, Racer-X is really his brother Rex who left the family long ago!!!

I totally have to agree with the earlier reviewer who mentioned the noise level on this thing. The box, the site, the descriptions all take great pains to describe this as a whisper-quiet, fanless system. They are all wrong. The thing is like having a 747 start up in your office. it's deafeningly loud.
