Yeah get a bigger hard drive!! You running vista or xp? Maybe we can help you get rid of some junk on your pc. First go to start-run-and type "temp" with the quotes. You can delete everthing in that folder. Then you can go to start-run- and type "appdata" with quotes and delete any folder of old programs that you already uninstalled.

My bro finished them both long time ago, I myself haven't finished Ep1 yet. I'll come back to it to finish sooner or later.

WInDirStat is a cool program! My most common file is AVI. Movies and tv shows, and maybe a couple less savory items, but just a couple!

Yeah I have about 100gb of vids and movies and about 16gb of music. The 320gb hdd goes fast!! Im going to be getting a 500gb WD soon though.

I used to archive all my movies and music on to DVD, I just can't be bothered anyway with hard drive sizes blowing up to 1 terabyte, I just go down to the shops and buy a new hard drive now if I need more space, instead of burning DVDs. The price of hard drives has really fallen, a Seagate 32MB cache 500GB hard drive can be had for $AUD150, that is a steal man.

4.31GB Just some useful applications.
