I didn't say it doesn't get hot. I was talking about overheating - you
know, a hardware failure due to the ambient temperature exceeding safe
values.

The early 360s would overheat a lot due to a manufacturing defect.

But you haven't yet? Then how can you consider yourself to be the epitome
of AV l33t-ness? Putting in a larger HDD - any lame wannabe can do that -
heck, the instructions are published by Sony!

First off, the PS3 doesn't store all games you ever play on disk. Older
ones will get cycled off. Second, wouldn't it make a lot more sense to
just put up a dedicated file server or NAS-type device on your network and
stream movies through the PS3 in that way? This would give you more
flexibility, while allowing much larger disk sizes along with the other
benefits of RAID that you're already well aware of.

A 1.4 TB PS3 is just...well, silly. Games will still only be able to use
the internal drive, and even at 10GB/game, you're looking at 75 games.
Not only don't you own 75 PS3 games (there aren't that many out yet!) but
I doubt you will ever play 75 PS3 games over the life of the PS3.

> It also hold Photos, and MP3s, Etc., Etc.

Again, a networked media server would be a better solution for this, yes?
Better accessibility, better flexibility, better reliability, better
bragging rights (more hardware makes you a better person, at least in your
eyes)

And you need fast drives for streaming media....why? Even HD video
encoded with divx will stream just fine over 100Mbps which is MUCH
SLOWER than laptop drives. No wonder your PS3 has heat issues if
you were cramming a hot-running desktop drive in there!

Also with drives that cheap, seriously, why didn't you put up a 4 drive,
RAID5 array in a dedicated networked box giving you 2+TB? You could even
use gigabit for extra bragging rights, and still do everything your mutant
PS3 can do...just without the extra heat.

Why does your PS3 care what graphics card your PC is using?

And why are you only running one of them? Your phallus replacement isn't
complete until you've spent thousands of dollars on a set of 4
interconnected cards. Just one card? That's weak.

Those who are insecure with...certain body parts will often try to
compensate by showing off with ridiculous, or extravegant purchases. The
middle aged man and the shiny red sports car, for instance. In your case,
you eschewed the car for bunches of hardware - and not even an impressive
stack of hardware at that. Ooh. A PS3 with an external HDD, and a PC with a
newish video card. Yup. That certainly makes you the epitome of master of
media - head honcho of hardware - controller of the computer - player of
the playstation.

Or maybe just lamest of the losers.

Wrong Doug.

Hey, I'M not the one who feels the need to use immature insults for every
other word, nor posting pictures of my HD setup. Nor do I feel the need
to brag about my hardware prowress.

Please. You technical knowledge is laughable and the fact you think
connecting an external HDD to a PS3 makes you some sort of big hardware
expert is just pathetic.

You were pathetic when your name was massive prong, and you're just as
pathetic now.

Did I ever claim that it overheats, dipshit? Even though there are
reports of it having happened on this platform.

No ****. Do you really think you are the news around here, boy?

No ****. Did I say that I did?

Did I do that, dumb****?

Actually, asswipe, I put a 120GB HD in it already.

Take note, idiot. Those are 2.5" slow spindle, low cache laptop drives.

The drive I added is not only external, but is SATA II, 7200 RPM
spindle, 16MB cache 3.5" screamers.

Is there anything that you are not completely retarded about?
