  I have Around 10 terabytes of hdd space and I currently have 40gbs of free space. I need more. It's because of those sound files that I work with. They are huge.

Thanks for the help lads

Yeah I've decided to go for a 500gb HDD instead ha.. I went and bought Rome 2 and Fifa 14 so just using it for M&B has went down the pot a bit

Again, thanks for all the help I've ordered all the bits now, would of been lost without this forum!

  what kind of sound files do you work with?

I'm currently only using 28gb on my laptop, got a serious lack of stuff

28? I think my laptop shipped with more used space than that. How do you manage?

Both related to a research which I am taking part in (some kind of linguistic binaural beats; I have tens of thousand of spoken words in different dialects) and also music.

I assume he isn't counting Windows stuff.  Mine's 60GB counting Windows and 45GB without.  Honestly, too, a lot of that is just junk I haven't cleared out yet.  There's something to be said for keeping junk to an absolute minimum.

Nope that's including Windows! (XP) I literally have nothing on it, I don't think it can handle anything really. I tried to play Europa Universalis Rome and it just couldn't handle it.

Aww.  I cleared out enough so that, without Windows, it was only 25GB.  I thought I could win the contest.

To be honest, the 28gb was probably just hidden virus'!

Anyways, thanks for all the help everyone and the people who said I'd be better off building. Just finished building and setting up my own. Definitely feel like I deserve entry level nerd status now.
