Don't you love technology and how it's always improving?
During christmas break, my brother helped me pick out computer parts from the website of a local-ish store. Today, I went to get the parts we had decided on.
Among other things (the processor and graphics card were both no longer being sold, so they got upgrades too), The cashier upgraded my choice of a 500GB HDD to a 1TB HDD. For 49 cents less.
I've also picked out a laser mouse to replace my old, scroll-wheel-malfunctioning ball mouse. Once everything arrives, I'll have to find a use for the 7 extra buttons. I'm thinking console commands in source.
TL/DR: Terrabyte HDD is cheaper than 500GB, My days of shooting windows with RPGs are soon to be over.
