Darths & Droids - robkelk - 08-12-2010
I just noticed that Darths & Droids recently posted another strip with an evenly-divisible-by-50 number. And that means a new alternate strip!

This one obviously started with "You all meet in a bar"...
Edit: My bad - that didn't happen until strip #5, according to the strip's http://www.darthsanddroids.net/trenchcoats/archive.html]fake archive list.

As expected by the rules of mathematics, we have another strip with a number that's evenly divisible by 50.
And, thus, we have another alternate strip.

Honestly, Rob, watch Inception. It's freaking awesome.

Considering Rob has a collection of unwatched anime which is, I believe, actually larger than my collection of anime I don't think he'll be watching Inception anytime soon unless I force it on him during our next game session. ;p

I'd like to consider myself as having an extensive Anime DVD collection (Much of which is still unopened). But I always like comparing notes.

Enough, to know that I shouldn't wince at my current DVD backlog & watched collection which fills three Ikea DVD towers, total. I probably should get around to watching Inception sometime soon, I'll no doubt rent it in some format.
Bad enough I've yet to completely watch The Adventures of Buckaroo Banzai.

I am seriously considering picking up a multi-terabyte NAS just for ripping my collection onto, storing the physical media in the basement, and connecting a computer to the TV and the new NAS. It's the only way I'll have access to the entire anime collection.

You don't need a computer, just one of these. I have one and MonkeyFist loves the thing to death. It replaced the previous version I had.
- robkelk - 04-01-2011
I have at least three computers sitting idle at the moment. I'd have to go buy a network appliance...

Mark, from the sounds that Rob is making, that little guy won't cut it because I think he wants something in the neighborhood of eight or ten terabytes of disk space. For that, he'll need a larger box.
Rob, I've heard of people doing with relatively inexpensively with an old machine, stripped down to bare bones with a few extra drive controller cards installed with a NIC. If you already got a tower to spare and a bunch of external drives to harvest... well, all there is to be done is the plotting and planning.
- Mark Skarr - 04-02-2011
Nah, it works fine. It has an internal 1TB drive. It also streams from every computer that it's set up to see on the network. It's main advantage is that it has a remote control and you can just flip through all the folders and videos and just watch them on the TV. Oh, and it supports Netflix. It's powered by awesome.
- Black Aeronaut - 04-02-2011
Hah! Just what Rob needs - more stuff to watch! (^^)
- robkelk - 04-02-2011
What BA said... I do have a mini-tower sitting idle; I'll just need to stuff it full of 2TB drives (unless they make larger ones for the home market nowadays).

Newegg has some 3 TB drives. That's the largest I can find for the home market.
- Black Aeronaut - 04-03-2011
You may also want to consider a removable drive bay. Newegg has a nice one that fits a 2.5" drive in a floppy drive bay. This will let you put a few selections onto the removable drive and take them over to a friend's house. (Though you'll probably need a nice little SATA-to-USB bridge device to go with it.)
- Bluemage - 04-04-2011
Or possibly an external hot-swap dock.
We've got them over at Best Buy, in both 1- and 2-drive varieties. USB and eSATA on the same device.
Could get one of those and load up on 2TB desktop drives.

And might I suggest that we're far, far off-topic now from the original intent of this thread? I should have stepped in earlier to do this, but please spawn a new thread for the tech talk.

Bob, I must've read your mind as that's what just did. No doubt as you were posting that.
