this old hard drive of mine is more ghetto than yours.

it works, albeit the duct tape/sliced ide connector/hard drive rig needs to be kept cool with a desk fan so that the duct tape glue shit won't melt and ruin the rig..

I use 2 machines.

For most digital and print rezolution work:
Dual 533 G4
12X12 Intuos
1gig RAM
Twin 21in Sony Trinitron Monitors.

For color correction and comic book coloring I usually use my super gamma accurate:
PII 400 Mhz
9X12 Intuos
512MB RAM
One lowly 17" Monitor.
But it has a 20 gig scratch disk running @ 7200rpm which is why I still have not upgraded the proccessor. It seems happy the way it is. It still has the 16 bit sound blaster and 3.5 floppy that were in my 386 DOS/Win3.1 box. (Win 3.1 did not like the 16 bit sound blaster. But my DOS games did.)
