Heaps of room for upgrading.

Even thinking of (gasp!) a mac for setting up a home recording studio.

Don't be so silly. Anything a mac can do a windows system can do.

Anything a Mac can do, a Windows system can do it better. :D

Macs do seem to be the system of choice for music production. I know a guy who has three of them set up in a home studio and have seen them being used by musicians on television etc.

Macs also seem to be preferred for professional image work too.

Why do people keep photos in digital format? What do you think you'll be viewing them with - if they still exist - in 20, 30 years?

Umm it is a RAID1 set so a single hard drive failure won't lose any data.
We also do print out a lot of photos when the digital photo shops have a special on.
CDs and DVDs don't matter as I could just rerip those.

I just use MediaMoney to rip the CDs in FLAC format.

3 partitions, 1 5Gb restore partition, two 75Gb for data. Have about 8Gb free on C drive, and 69Gb free on D (only got Ubuntu on that). Most of that space is just crap though. Example: I was ripping some stuff from PS1 games, and one 2m55s movie took up 975Mb, because I forgot to set a codec, so my ripping prog defaulted to none. Oh, and lets not forget the three copies of parts of GT1, 2, 3 and 4 (the Volume files, tried to get the data out myself). that's about 14Gb right there.

Yea, image production and the audio software and audio prodution is whats making me looking at buying one after spending a week in a mates studio.

I was quite impressed.
