Blergh. And geek.
Mar. 14th, 2006 09:13 pmI'm still ill. I've not been into work for the last two days. I was starting to feel better over the weekend as well *pout*. Ah well, all is not lost.
( Yesterday I ordered some computer bits, and they turned up this morning. )
Finally I bought a 300GB drive and an external IcyBox with USB and SATA (hotplug don't you know!) interfaces for my growing storage requirements. Beast currently has 8x160GB drives in, and consumes quite a lot of power for the 1TB storage it provides, and they were bought around the time it cost me ~£200 per drive. So, just a vague idea, but if I get people wanting to buy these 8 drives off me for next to nothing (say £30 each?), I could do it and just buy bigger drives for the new beast. Volunteers?
I've also managed to get the Playstation 2 USB EyeToy camera working on the PC as a quite reasonable webcam. This means Jordan will be able to play CamGoo on his PC instead of invading the living room ;)
