I work all day and every day to music. It blanks out the background noises like servers whirring, ducks quacking and planes on the bombing run.
Luckily I work from home and am self-employed.
If you change a PAL XBOX to NTSC it can output 1080i or 720p using component leads. It runs XBMC nicely, but can't handle hi-def video playback. A Pentium 3 just hasn't got the oomph.
I moved all my "user data" to a network drive and it only took a few hours to upgrade a sluggish 1.6 celeron laptop with 2GB ram from Vista pro 32bit to Windows 7 ultimate 32bit.
Like some distorted Moore's law, I usually buy a hard drive twice as large every two years. Maybe I should delete stuff?
I get some joy from running drives on bog-standard SATA controllers and letting the OS handle the mirroring. At least if the controller fails I can build a new machine and can still read my data.

Back before floppy discs we used to buy blank cassettes and use a twin tape deck to copy mate's games for the BBC B and Spectrum. It was the same for music!
Half the reason for buying originals was getting the documentation and printed packaging.
I work hardest with music playing, to cover the hum of the servers behind me in my office. I work most enjoyably from the summerhouse, cool breeze between my knees and ducks quacking before me. I work the most fanatically after several shots of bourbon on a laptop from the sofa.
I did a UK computing-related degree back in 1990-93 and was fully aware that anything I wrote on university machines was their property. I bought a PC and worked from my own place instead.
