Site Review – iNeedStorage.com.au
Jul 5th
A short while ago I found myself with a surplus of money and I thought to myself “I should sort my mess of hard drives out and consolidate my storage!” so I looked for a Drobo.
This is no small task as an entry level drobo is usually around $700 at most, including shipping.
So I shopped around a little bit and found a fantastic little website that specialises in just storage.
iNeedStorage is well, quite self descriptive, Hard Drives, external cases, RAID, just about anything and everything to do with data storage can be found, and at good prices due to low overhead costs.
I purchased my 2nd Generation Drobo for around $580 delivered by Australia Post, they prefer to use couriers, usually startrack express for the Drobo stuff, but due to issues of my availability to sign for packages I opted for being able to pick it up from the post office.
They have a multitude of contact options listed on their site, phone, email and a live chat, and I can say from personal experience that they’re well informed and willing to answer any questions that you may have about any of the items on their site.
Shopping cart system is excellent and smart, plenty of payment options, the standard credit card and paypal, you can also mail in money.
Even if you’re not going to buy anything, the site is nice to browse and drool over products.
Call Of Helicopters Redux
Jun 26th
The last post was a featured video from the Call Of duty series noting just how many helicopters are seen in COD4: Modern Warfare, in fact there were 147. In this post is another video that points out how many can be seen in the new Call Of Duty: Black Ops game trailer.
In this minute and a half video 27 helicopters were found, thats 0.3 per second. if this is anything to go by get ready to see alot more helicopters in the full game when it is released on the 11th of September 2010.

First Contact: Xbox360 PC Wireless Gaming Receiver… Chinese knockoff ;)
Jun 9th
A while ago I got an idea to purchase a Xbox360 wireless controller receiver for my PC so that I would be able to connect up my wireless guitar hero drum kit to the computer to use as a MIDI input in FL Studio(read: Digital Drum Kit) So I began my search to find one.
The Receivers are available in local shops like EB Games, but unfortunately they can only be purchased in a pack with a wireless Xbox360 controller, unfortunately not cheap. So I looked for a second hand one, again no luck. Last week I decided to look online to find one, and find one I did, not only that it was also cheap
