New Hard disk and Webcam
January 7th, 2006 at 04:51pm
Bought a new hard disk and a webcam today!
I already have a 160 GB Maxtor hard disk, but I always wanted a second hard disk after I lost my previous hard disk in an ant attack. So, bought a 80 GB Seagate hard disk - 7200 RPM. Yet to install it. The idea is to make my Maxtor hard disk a pure storage volume and use this new one as a system disk. Also, it would be very convenient for me to plug out the 160GB maxtor whenever I want to! Moving data/music/videos etc would be much easier :)
I paid Rs. 2650 for the hard disk. (A 40 GB hard disk was available for Rs. 2350). Bought it from my local vendor. What say?
Also bought a Intex webcam. Its has a pretty decent feature set. Here are the key features…

Cost : Rs. 900. There was Logitech available too, and I was all set to buy it, but the vendor suggested that this has got better features and that he as got better feedback about Intex from the users. Let me see how good it is. Else, I think I will ask him for a replacement. BTW, logitech was priced at around Rs. 1100. Intex has some lights (6 LEDs), which are automatically lit up in low light conditions and are pretty bright.
Next I need to install Skype 2, which is out of beta and has video support!

160 + 80 GB - that’s a lot of storage space in there! Your machine must be a store house indeed.

@Chitrang, Google Videos are not accessible in India. I think it used to work with google web-accelerator for sometime. But not very sure if it works even now.

I tried to get many songs of psp in mp4 but all had a fee . I was thinking you might have the name of a site having free mp4 download
