Wow nice find Lourdes

, I'm looking for a NAT drive, Do you have any recommendation? I've seen the Maxor one in Maplins

I assume you mean NAS, as in a drive you connect over the network/webternets.
I don't think much of ANY NAS drives/enclosures, they're all so overpriced. You can get a 500GB Feecom for around £100 which isn't too bad, however apparently you have to use FAT32 with its 4GB filesize limit if you want to access it from your network. For about £120 you can probably snag a 500GB Western Digital My World but I hear they're rather slow. Seperate enclosures aren't worth AT ALL because the pricing is just obscene.
It's rather pricey when you consider that you can get a 500GB USB2 drive for about £65. If you really need a NAS rather than direct attached storage internal or external (which you can always then share on your network) then you might consider the Buffalo LinkStation products. They're not cheap but in addition to their onboard capacity you can connect USB drives so you can expand your storage for less and I hear they perform very well compared to others.

Kinda, It will hold some of my source codes for work, but also video files, which I can stream over the network to my XBOX. That way I can clear up hard drive space on my PC

Cool. I'd never fill that much space, personally.
I'm sure you can beat Maplin price, they're expensive.

Pleasure. All my media - music, DVD's, BD, HDTV etc are on storage servers I built and backed up to a tape library.
For business storage I have several little portable arrays that use 2.5" drives.

That sounds mightily impressive, expensive though.

Really what did you say to them? Have they kept the price for 25 pounds for you?

As I understand it once you're charged for something the supplier has entered into a clear contract to supply what you've ordered at the price you've paid. Some suppliers will try and wiggle out of this but only if they realize it before dispatch. I don't know if anyone has legally challenged a supplier in an instance like that but sometimes they relent anyway.
In my case they didn't notice and they sent me a lovely invoice with what I received and the price I was charged clearly laid out.

WTF is a denit card? Do you mean debit? As long as it's with a major credit card vendor like Visa/Mastercard, I really don't see why they'd deny it.

Oops, I meant debit

CD-WOW accept debit cards, yeah
