I'm sure it will Shawn. I probably wont build another desktop anytime soon. I use the laptop or the iPad when I am at home. The iPad more then the laptop.

For I still have the tower from my old desktop. Gave the monitor and the battery backup to a friend that needed it. The tower is till in my closet. I cant remember all of the specs on since it has been a few years since it worked. I do remember it did have a 1000 watt power supply in it. Also dual nvidia video cards.

Yeah it was. Then it just died on me. I put it aside to look at it and just forgot about it. Then I stowed it in the closet.

The hd in that one wasnt full at all. I think at the most I was using a 1/4 of its capacity.

I think I was pushing a TB in that one. Right now counting both external hd's I have a total of 3 TB of HD space. I have 1.5 TB dual drives in the laptop, 1 500 GB external and an additional 1 TB external HD.

The internal drives were a free upgrade for me so I figured why not get them. The externals were cheap enough.

I also have a 32 GB Ipad, 2 16 GB iPhones, ( the old is kaput due to the power button giving up the ghost) and a 32 GB iPod Touch.
