Donation Needed
by I'm asking ... please ....if anyone has a hard drive they're not using, that they would be willing to part with for free or a few dollars .... I need at least a 10 gig hard drive, around 20 or 60 would be great too, haha, since I'm too cheap to shell out for a 200 gig drive...
thanks

thanks to Dan and Lauren. got the KVM this morning. awesome. I also spent 2 hours at Circuit City for their black friday sale today and picked up another 250GB drive for $79 after rebate. and a Uninterruptible Power Supply for $15 after rebate.
Oh here's my chance to make you jealous... Thanks to many generous gifts recieved (after my graduating crummy Chubb)I HAVE A 200 GB drive *skips away* la la la
haha, me too! let's flaunt our exorbitant storage capacity all over dan's spot!
you graduated chubb?
Yup, my program wasn't as extensive as I would've liked... I'll have to learn a lot on my own.
what did you go to school for?
multimedia & webdesign
this thread is not about you! get out of my thread!
ahh cool, i went for network admin/technician... hardest 7 or 8 months of my life, lol.
ever hear that band j.e.w. oh man great songs
Hypocrisy alert!
Dan got a free KVM and I offered to take it off his hands, and he turned me down!
dude. trade me. if you have a small hard drive (10-30 gig) that you don't need, i'll give you the KVM, it's just taking up space in my closet
I would, but there might come a day when I want to make a ridiculously large version of an ipod out of spare parts. hahaha. this idea sounds so funny I might just do it.
that is a funny idea. i doubt you would actually do it though. how would you get a power supply?
hmm. can't remember the power requirements of a 3.5" HD, but I could probably string 2 or 3 old Laptop batteries together for enough wattage. then I'd have to think about the motherboard. probably one from an old laptop with a busted screen would work. and attach a small text lcd to the serial port and some buttons to the keyboard port. that'd do it.
but I've got other projects going on I need to finish first....which I could really use a KVM for. I hate crawling under my desk to swap cords.
i want to get rid of this KVM so badly i can almost beg you to take it. but, i need a hard drive to backup my mp3s onto. so this is where we trade.
well now you've challenged me to use it in a ridulous project, so I'm kinda stuck with it now. go on eBay you could probably get a used 20 gig HD for like $20. Here's an auction:

(I honestly don't think I have a spare)

120 for 47 bucks
I have a hard drive that is worth about 5 beers.
buy a 6pack and i can drink one on the way?
i have a 20 gig stta drive just sitting around
wait.. i'm gonna add it into my computer. what am i talking about.
sweet.
thanks for reminding me. duh. i forgot i had a new computer to put it in.. though 20 is nothing to 180.. but it's an extra 4 movies

ya ghey.....
don't be so hard on yourself.
keeps me humble
hmm, i'll look around. i may have one or two. is it for a boot drive, or just data?
no, just data. i won't boot to it. I finally fixed my computer (ie, formatted and put xp back on.) it works great now (despite being older than dirt. i got it in 1999.) i'm thinking i could use a little more ram (the 320 mb i got is ok) but i want to use it to store all my mp3s, videos, etc. yeah. so if you have one that'd be great.
oh, yeah, i have a drive. i think it's at least 20gb, maybe much larger. not sure.
want it?
yeah dude! i will give you the kvm i had previously promised to dean! (*or, if you are ok with it, i'll just thank you profusely and give the kvm to dean anyway so he no longer has to crawl under his desk)
please please, I'm getting old and my back hurts.
hahhahah man i'm really starting to feel bad
