just for info for anyone with a phatbox

i previously bought a proper 80gig dms driver for my phatbox but it cost about £350 after import duties and shipping

ran out of space again...

so i hacked my box using the info on http://www.phathack.com
and created an new dms using the new seagate 160gig from ebuyer

it works fantastically - plugged in and i now have 160gig dms for under £155 all in - no snags or difficulties at all.

How can you need 160Gb - thats approx 20000 192bps Mp3s !!

well i was near the end of my 80gig drive so only wanted to do one upgrade (but i said that when i went from 20gig to 80gig

most of my mp3 are vbr between 220kb and 320 but its still a lot of music i know

at least it worked well, it was cheap and easy to do

I hacked my 20Gb to give me 80Gb. It only cost me about £65 when I did it.

I'm only up to about 50Gb usage so it'll do me for a while.
