icybox - JBOD

this should have brought my storage space up to 2 TERABYTES !!!
but i chickened out due to the price and money constraints. anyways, i bought this for about 42 and 1 TB hdd for 110 totaled up to 152£ .
not cheap. i think it's cheaper back in msia.

anyways, maybe it's the time of the year again where i find myself interested in computer stuffs again.

that being said. i didn't know formatting a 1TB hdd takes about 3 hours.. or maybe less.. but i know it was LONG !!!

so far no problems. i just slip the hdd in to the slot. and connect it.. and my computer detected it as 931.50GB .

okay.. so i bought 1 TB drive and then i got 1 more slot free..
so i took my 500gb out from the coolermaster ext casing and slipped that into the icybox as well.
there whaddya know.. it works too.
so i save one usb port and one plug point.

my usb ports are all used up. i have an old casing so i can only manage to use 4 usb ports that comes with the mobo behind the comp.
1 is used by the ext hdd. 1 is used by the ipod charger. 1 is used for my thumbdrive. and last one is for my webcam.
finish.
it's alot of wires everywhere.. that's what i hate about computers..

anyways, i bought it. got more space than ever.. :D

Mr. Kipling's Battenberg Cake. looks nice..

hmmm been so busy on friday forgot to update. will post 2 post to console myself today. to the cake. cake looks cute. but tastes horrible. maybe it was because i bought it cheap from sainsbury . it's original price was £1.29. but i bought it for 49p. cheap as i was. maybe that's the reason the cake tasted bad.. but the expiry wasnt till anohter 2 days time. :P anyways, it tasted like smelled like cough syrup. u know those red coloured ones. tasted okays. the outer layer is just icing erm or rather sugar.. no ideas waht that was but it was SWEET. then inside, just like the normal sponge cake. all in all.. i wouldnt buy it ever again. :P here are the pics.

my boring weekend

i went to camden on sat and almost got rammed by a stupid green car on the way back. anyways, i was bored. and it was a nice day. don't know anything bout tour de france, or wimbledon. took my bike out. and cycled down towards camden. it was a change from cycling to work. i spent £7 in sainsburys cos they were having a half price sale on john west's tuna in cans. the usual price is about £3.19. bought some stuffs.. ( coulnd't buy a lot cos i don't wanna ride home on a punctured bike) but i bought too many as well. i bought jaffa biscuit for 69p. for 24 pieces. finished it b4 sat was over. took some photos on the way. went into o2 to see if i could get any nice phones for free. turned out that i couldn't because i havent paid any phone bills since last year. looks like i'm gonna hvae to switch my sim card to a pay as you go thingy. then i went to the outdoor emporium to take a look at the karrimor travelpack. i dunno why .. that one seems to call out to me other
