I should have blogged this last week but I haven’t got time to sit down and blog unlike before.

My first gadget bought here in Singapore.

A Maxtor 320gb External HDD!

Actually, this is not the first one. Last time I was here, I bought Pen a 2GB Creative Zen MP3 player. But this Maxtor is the first one for me.

Special thanks to Cia for sharing me her Dad’s membership number so I get the Member’s price and not the usual price. If not for her, I would have paid additional S$20 for the hard disk.

I felt that I badly needed to buy one as my hard drive space in my office issued laptop is slowly filling up. Now that we have broadband access in the condo, I can resume to get my fix (downloading what else?!). On top of that, my office mates are sharing their own divx movies and animes. Last week, I copied Books 1 & 2 of Avatar. I’m watching it and so far enjoying the story.

And surprise, surprise. My housemate got a free LG dvd component for his cable subscription. The good thing is, the component supports divx formats and has it’s own usb slot! Imagine the smile on my face when I saw that. We now have our own movie server at home and a video on demand service! Hahaha.

I made a quick reformat on the 320gb hdd though. The LG component usb slot only supports FAT16 and FAT32 formatting. Small price to pay for the happiness it will bring.

Panasonic 32″ TV + LG USB Component with DivX support + 320gb HDD. What else will you ask for?
