How To Build A 1-Terabyte Desktop PC

terabyte by 2015? try 07 or 08 easy. I mean it isnt exactly a technical or financial hurdle to get that extra space. Hell I wouldnt be supprised if hard disks are obsolete by 2015... they are making some amazing advances in flash memory capacity, which is of course much more durable and fast.

I think you use 'obsolete' too easily. I know that three years my school still used Apple II's for keyboarding class. But yeah, I don't think they'll be mainstream anymore.

just because they are still used by some doesn't mean they aren't obsolete. Id consider any intel box prior to p3 to be obsolete.

I think he meant  petabyte by 2015.

I already have 2x 250 GB drives and 1x 500GB drive, putting me at that 1 TB mark (~928GB, in fact).

True, I mean we can make them right now, but by 7 or 8 the major venders will start releasing them.
