I dunno if you could fit it on 128 MB. Dogscoff had a hell of a time getting it to fit on just a 700 MB CD.

Yeah, but that was including a whole heap of mods and shipsets. Remove those (or scale down the BMPs, something I was unwilling to do) and you could squeeze se4 onto a USB key no probs.

I wish se4 could have supported zip files for mod and shipset folders , I'd have a gig more space on my HD than there is now.

You know, I'll bet someone could make a "Mod picker" style utility that would store the mods as zip files and only unzip the one you are currently playing.

The only saving grace for purchasing a boxed external hard drive is the backup/recovery software you usually get.

Approach 1) Save money, use time, no software = buy the drive and enclosure and put them together

Approach 2) Waste money, save time, get backup/recover software = buy a boxed LaCie or Maxtor hard drive.

Personally I like the Maxtor One-Touch for its' utterly painless backup system (push the button stupid!). This is what I use on the majority of my client installations.

I operate a lot of my work now from a portable hard drive, as a gift a few months ago, it was a 100gb Seagate Portable Hard Drive and it was all enclosed and that good stuff. Works great too. I accidently found the receipt for it at my parent's home and it cost them about 90 bucks after shipping and freight insurance.

That is where they bought it from and this is it, looks like the price went up or it was on sale.

Oh wow, I didn't even recognize you! Hadrian as in SpaceEmpires.org? Or are you going to kill me because I remembered that?

I dunno if you already bought your hdd, but Dell has a 160 GB external drive for $79 with no shipping. Still a little pricier than a good deal on a IDE + enclosure, but it beats the other prices posted earlier.

Ouch, 79$ for a 160? I am so glad I live near a Fry's. I picked up an external 250 for that price after rebate.
