And I would actually venture to say that if disk space is an issue then
working with movies and audio/video is going to be a problem. When I started
mesing around I found a 40GB HDD didn't last long. I am now working off dual
160's and most of my clip's that aren't currently in use are backed up on
DVD-RW's. If you really get into this as a major hobby the setup above is
probably minimum.
