from new egg.
I really would like a 7200rpm 500GB for $85.

save yourself from such nonsense and play PC games

i think you have to replace the drive with whatever speed drive is in there fairly easy, just back everything up to an external by using the backup feature.

yeah, last things a PC game needs is a hard drive.

i hear its not too hard. my next plan is to buy a wii and mod the shit out of it.

ITT: reimroc losing $250

its easy to do and can play ripped games/roms and movies via mplayer. all you need is an ext hd and some time to set up the homebrew software.

I was thinking of doing the wii hack. Looks pretty simple. Just gotta rent the Zelda game.

Do you know if you can still do online play of say Mario Kart with a hacked wii?

Yea you can. Its way easier to get away with a hacked wii online than it is with an xbox as M$ can detect any mods (hard or soft) and can ban your console from live play.

hacked wii = mad easy

that's a pretty good burn in my book.

restoring my 60GB to my old onto my old laptop drive now.
