One problem, only one place to put the drive. It's a shitty eMachines case. |

I'm building a new comp over the summer, but I'm gonna add the 300 to this |
| 4 |
comp, and just re-do everything once I get a new mobo and case. |
| 5 |
|
| 6 |
I'm planning on quad-booting. Or even more. |
| 7 |
|
| 8 |
40 GB's of Windows XP (I am a gamer. Some games I just cannot get to work |
| 9 |
under Linux) |
| 10 |
60 GB's of SuSE (I have an old pro version.) |
| 11 |
80 GB's of Gentoo 2006.0 (yay!) |
| 12 |
20 GB's of Shared Files (Music, and whatever needs to be shared) |
| 13 |
then the rest will be unpartitioned, mainly for trying out some BSD's and |
| 14 |
other distro's. to be partitioned as appropriate. |
| 15 |
|
| 16 |
That's my game plan so far. It's subject to change easily. |

Again, I've had trouble locating a PSU that will fit in the case. This is |
| 19 |
worse then getting a Dell. |
| 20 |
|
| 21 |
For my next comp, I'm obviously building my own (I got this for free in |
| 22 |
2001). In a very, very large tower case. I'll probably then stick this |
| 23 |
current 40GB HD in here and use the comp as a household server running |
| 24 |
BSD/Linux and hosting LAN game servers and GNUMP3d, and whatever I see fit. |
