    computer help

    My computer only has 9 GB of disk space. Right now I only have about 3 GB left. How can I get more GBs?

    damn these days 9GBs are barly enough to carry in your pocket
    A world of invisible people. We pass them without seeing them, as casually and indifferently as we pass our own reflections in store front windows. Do they really live among us? Or are they citizens of another country, a vast and teaming gulag of the dispossessed. No, don't turn away. Look in their faces. Do you see your brother? Your mother? An old friend? Someone you went to school with? Someone you once loved? No? You didn't see them? Not today. Tomorrow you could.

    Even a new 20GB is pretty cheap.

    True, you can never have too much space, I have 70Gb but I also have broadband so it fills quick!

    I wouldn't have reccomended newegg maybe as much as I would www.zipzoomfly.com (they have free 2nd day air shipping on everything, and newegg charges tax in my state, so thats another reason not to shop there. Their prices are competitive, but then again so is zipzoom and it usually ends up cheaper for me).

    Also about the hard drives themselves, you might notice a 40GB costs bearly more than a 20GB, or even a 60 or 80 for maybe $10 more than a 20GB. I guess its supply and demand, so your best bang-for-the-buck will probably be a bigger drive.

    It all depends on her/his needs. Even 40 GB may be enough, but you see s/he was interested in 20 GB. Just because s/he is here, doesn't mean they have a HD full of music files.

    That is true, but what everyone seems to be pointing out is that a 20GB or even a 40GB HDD is not an economically sound solution. On newegg, a 40GB HDD goes for roughly $1 per gig. 120, 160 & 200 GB HDDs go for sometimes less than $.50 per gig. If your lucky, you can get them for less than that even, such as outpost.com's sale a few weeks ago, which offered a 200GB HDD (ATA-100, 7200 RPM, 8mb cache, major brand - just dont remember it) for $40 after a mail-in rebate. If you do the math, thats $.20 per gig. Even if you aren't going to use all of that space, its worth it.
