Sorry russian, I know you can take this, so I am gonna say it... ;-)

Russsssiiaaaan, a capital "B" refers to BYTE, whereas a small "b" refers to bit. So, if you are saying you have a 500gb hard drive, or a 500 giga bit hard drive, then that in effect means you only have about a 60GB (gigabyte) hard drive. No wonder you are running out of space. However, fear not oh faithless one, Master Skoups and his sidekick Dragonne is to the resuce... Russian, what both Jarrod and myself have is not a 500Gb hard drive, it is not even a 5tb hard drive, hell no what we offer you today is a staggering amount of 12Tb pure awesomeness... but wait, theres more, if you apply today you will also get a custom red SATA cable for free, that's correct, absolutely free! how much do you expect to pay for 12tb of pure awesomeness, R9000, R5000, R2000? No, order now and you can get it for a mere R999.95!

;-)

Ok, on a slightly more serious note Russian, I have no idea. The hard drives are still working but they are out of their warrantee, I would imagine R500 would be a good price? (I think I have 5 or 6 of them at home).

What are you guys asking for a HDD? I only have a 500gb :/

Thanks Skoup, appreciate it

Yeah i also have several 1.5TB that i would be willing to part with if anybody is interested for a minimum price. Fire, I wiill see what we can put together for R6k.

You call, but if I were you I'd spend the extra to get a K processor. It's not a great deal more, and you can get a GHz more than stock on most Intel CPUs. That's a lot of extra bang...

Awesome J, then I can probably push my budget to around R6,000.

by Cat Nipples » Thu Oct 31, 2013 6:10 pm

Cool J, thanks for the advice.

I actually got this rig exactly the way it is (OC'ed and all). I don't normally overclock. So that's not a huge requirement.

Firesyde, I can definitely help you out ITO HDD space. I have a number of 1.5TB drives that are surplus to my requirements (been replacing my server HDD's with 4TB drives). I can let you have one for a couple of hundred.

Hey Skoup, thanks a lot man.

The problem is the case I have now is basically a skeleton, I'm going to rummage around at my parent's house this weekend, maybe there's one there that'll still be functional. If that R400+- can help with CPU/MOBO I'd rather go for that.

I think my budget will be around R5,500. I can perhaps still stretch it to R6,500.. but I haven't considered the fact that I'm running out of HDD space. Although I don't need that to get better performance out of my machine.
