Seagate 500GB SATA OEM $150 USD + $6 S&H

[Handruin]

Seems like a super price for a 500GB SATA. No rebate required...

Seagate Barracuda 7200.10 ST3500630AS 500GB 7200 RPM 16MB Cache SATA 3.0Gb/s Hard Drive - OEM

Cheapest pricegrabber is around $180 to $190. I'm tempted to buy two of them to consolidate drives in my machine and make one an external backup.

Also, something I just took advantage of 36 times, Samsung 400GB SATA drives are $109 on Newegg right now.

You bought 36 of them? What on earth could you possibly need 36 400gig drives for?

Classroom PCs.
I can use the space to store multiple configurations as Acronis images.

I'd like to see the case/system housing that array.

 

[Mercutio]

So would I.
I'd also like to see a 16-port SATA controller that costs around $250 and goes in one of those worthless 1xPCIe slots that seem to be taking up space on my motherboards these days. It can just be a RAID1, 0, 10 or JBOD controller. That's fine.
And while I'm living in fantasyland, I'd also like a pony. I've always wanted a pony. He can live under my bed.

I was watching HGTV the other day as they had a bunch of holiday gift guides. In the toy one there was a robotic pony that you could sit on (up to 200 lbs). It moved its head and did a bunch of other stuff. I don't think it let you ride it though, just sit on it. I think I know what we should get Merc for xmas.

 

[Will Rickards]

Link for the pony. $300 seems reasonable, we only need 20 from 15 people. Who's in?

 

[Will Rickards]

Nevermind, the product page at hasbro says:
Pony's maximum weight limit is 80 lbs./36kg.
I guess they lied on the show about 200lbs.

 

[Mercutio]

Also, Merc doesn't actually celebrate Xmas...

And if you want to get me something for my upcoming Birfday, y'all can go in on shipping ddrueding's bed full of women from California to Indiana.

Do you celebrate Festivus?

Seinfeld creations have no place in my reality.
