That's still an enormous volume of data. Easily 700+ dvds...you must watch a lot of movies. Plus now you've got a similar amount of storage on a separate rig, so I'll be easy and say 5 more TB...plus a 3rd external stack...I'll just assume that's redundant backups just in case? wow. I have backups of everything too, and I don't use CDs or DVDs at all, and I've got more storage than I know what to do with...then again I'm not housing the entire history of cinema as apparently you are ;P

probably the same reason I've got a similar amount for my absolutely ancient Socket A AMD Athlon rig. All my media is stored on hard drive. All. barring a few console games on DVD I haven't been able to back up. I am not so good at looking after DVDs and CDs, but with a decent hard drive array plugged in i've not lost any data for years.. moved a lot off to an external stack recently.
 
I get my cd or dvd, rip it to the computer, put it back in its case and put it away in big plastic boxes. Then there are the (legitimate) downloaded things i own.
 
few hundred gig free spanned across six drives lol

does anyone's specs include an audiophile power cable, power conditioner(not computer gear). assuming you use it for audio.

warning: please do not start the debate here!!!!! i just want to know if anyone uses that.

 

[liamstrain]

Not mine. Not in our recording or mastering studio either.

Suppose I'll add my specs here
 
Intel i7 950 @3.07 GHz
Asus Rampage II Extreme MB
12GB Corsair Dominator 1600 MHz
Kingston SSDNow V+ Series 128GB
2X Western Digital 500GB HDD's 7200RPM
SupremeFX-XFi sound card
Logitech Z5500 5.1 surround system
Logitech G15 Keyboard
Razer Death Adder - mouse
 
I also use:
 
Kenwood VR-605 Receiver
JBL TLX121 front speakers
JBL J2045 rear speakers
Logitech Z5500 Subwoofer for the Sub
 
It's an odd setup. I have sound coming from my sound card directly to my receiver, and then I have a subwoofer pre-out that goes directly to the Z5500 control unit so that I can use the Sub.
 
I still own a Sunfire Super Junior, but the speaker is blown. I need to get a replacement. The amp is still good. Maybe I'll sell the Super Junior as is. Haven't decided.

 

[music_man]

get the driver. that is a nice subwoofer. you won't get much blown for it. i am actually surprised that blew. must be a defective one.

I did not undermine your statement, so no proof is needed.
With air cooling the CPU, at least when idle, will run (at least) few degrees above ambient. The question is - what is the room temperature ?

 

[Mdraluck23]

Our house is set to 65F in the winter and off at night. 18.3333C. Sounds about right? 

 

[music_man]

it is 35f and you have the heat off? you are a strong one indeed! if i turned off the heat my 2600k would probably go 20 jigahertz lol.

Sweatpants are the best. So fluffy and warm. They should be more socially accepted. #NOSHAME
