I worked all night and got my old PC running again (it's faster than my current one.) However, the hard drive failed (640 GB.) So now I'm stuck with 40 GB one.

>install windows xp
>okay
>install tf2
>okay
>check free space
>5 GB left

It just gets better and better, oh well. At least I got my old rig back.

Edit: I need a good hard drive around the $50 mark.

Now you know what it's (almost) like to be me with my 37 GB hard drive.

And I can't even play TF2 on my rig, I have to play most of my Steam games on my sister's new computer.

Every hard drive under 256GB is pretty cheap, packing increasingly large amounts of stuff into the same space has become easier with newer technology. Go for chinese ones.

sound like fun. i would use ubuntu since xp is 8GBs.

too bad i really would like to use ubuntu as my default hosting os, but BL doesn't host correctly on wine.

My last one was 640 GB, I'm getting 1 TB one so I can fit my research folder in there.
