Well yeah i just got my computer like last month XD....on the first day i already used like 40GB [excluding space needed for OS]

 

[stang]

Lol first day my internet reset for the month I filled up another 80gb of my hard drive. When I first put together my computer/format it I fill about 700gb of my hard drive. Very little actually, since you can now get 2TB drives, showing how much data people actually have. 

 

[raymondlin]

That was like an hour after I got it lol
 
I've backed up over 185G now, 300G to go

 
I plan to fill it with 5 x 2TB drives, so 500G is nothing.  
 
I have a 1.5TB drive connected to my iMac,
a 500G sitting not plugged in with backup photos
the PC internally has over 1TB (120+320+640), connected to it is a 1.5TB drive and a 1TB drive.
I also have a broken 2TB WD external drives doing nothing that needs RMA.
 
and no, i don't download movies or TV shows, I take a lot of photos, the Canon 5D2 produces photos average 25mb per photo, so thats 50mb if you count the backup.

Desktop's down @ the moment, but here's a screenie of FF on the netbook. It's only got a couple gigs, so I have to limit what I do. With as many extensions as I've tossed on there, I wouldn't be surprised if one of them had a terrible memory leak.

I need a system which is highly portable and delivers desktop power nonetheless and I like to have only ONE system, so:

I've built this system a few weeks ago. I'm considering water cooling but I'm not entirely sure it's worth the extra €400 and the risk of a leak.

Well first you gotta ask yourself if you're gonna OC that 930 up to like 1.4GHz over stock clock...if yes then go ahead...if no..get a Prolimatech Megahalem ...or a Noctua NH-D14 XD

Yep. I think Microcenter has a Danger Den kit for around $300.

High end water can get bent! I know 3 guys using $400~$500 setups. They've all had leak problems, none of them are much quieter than a good air cooled setup, and they're all running chips 200~400mhz higher than what you'd get on a $60 air cooler. Their gpus run a little faster too. :/

That $ could go towards another gpu and an ssd. Water is failboat IMO.

The point is that if you already have 3 GTX480's and 20 SSD's in raid 0 you need another expense. Liquid nitrogen is better IMO. I have two tanks going now. Living in a freezer gets a tad chilly too. Pizza boxes keep on falling. ...but I digress.
