I'm not avoiding it. I'm avoiding it
for now. There is a difference. First, I want to get the system built, and I still haven't gotten the drive repaired (it's damaged). Secondly, the whole driver issue. Third, for some reason, it didn't sit right with me.
Cost is no object, but it doesn't mean that I need to go balls-out either. I set out to achieve certain goals, and they're being met. If you'll notice, I've left room to allow myself two upgrades: memory and hard disk. Guess what? It'll happen
The reason only 60 gigs is coming right now is because it seemed like a good number for now. I simply don't need more than that at the moment - I have 120 gigs in the computer I'm currently on (Dual G4 800MHz PowerMac), 34 gigs in my current "main" box (syphon), 60 gigs in a file server that serves my mp3s and to be honest, I really don't *need* more than 60 gigs. Especially not right now. Will I eventually put more in there? Yes, and probably in a RAID mirroring setup. In the mean time, I went with 1 x 60GB. It should be sufficient for the time being. 60 gigs is still a lot of pictures or mp3s. I'm not into watching DivX's on my computer - if I couldn't afford DVD's in the first place, I wouldn't be buying this system, and my TV is a hell of a lot larger than my 19" monitor. I really don't have much that's going to eat up 60 gigs of space for the time being. Note that my objectives were *not* to be stupid with my money, and *not* to get the biggest thing possible. I'm still meeting my goals, and I'll continue to do so.
