the only thing I come close to with that is a 64Gb OCZ SSD.... but 64Gb is waaaaaaaaaaay to small, wished I'd stumped up just a little more to get a bigger one

I just use it for the OS and maybe for Skrym to stop loading times
Otherwise that 2TB jobbie was only about 50 quid.

Games dev? Can't you just buy nice 'puter bits and write them off against tax?
Been trying to get into iOS games developing for ages but Struggling to get past the coding bit.
Just want to use my skills as a graphic artist to make some money from the apple boys.
Given myself a crash course in C and objective C but it all the api's just change too fast to keep up.
Wish there were a away I can use a "games making" graphical interface.

tinyurl.com/673jfgd Link to the exact thing I bought, you can select different components like OS/HD/graphics card to suit your requirements, so price may go up or down depending on what you want. Came all built, as I got the OS separately I had to install that myself but they normally do that for you. BIOS was all setup by them too.
