Excuse me, tech-goers of bf2s.

Quick question/inquiry (since I wouldnt say its threadworthy),
My brother has been holding an external hard drive for quite some time, and as such, has been able to put files etc on it and generally play around with it. Now, the capacity is 279GB. However, only 244 is free. As such, you would assume that there are files shown on the hard drive, yes? No. I checked my settings of hidden system files and folders, and found that I can see hidden folders, yet it appears that this 36GB anomaly appears out of nowhere. Now I am guessing that he has put some kind of software on it that keeps files out of plain sight, yet I do not know if this is the case.
If anyone has any ideas on how to see these files (presumably movies he doesnt want to share, because he is stingy), please share them, as I want to see what this anomaly is.
Cheers

I RMA'd my graphics card in September, went home for the first time since then yesterday and found they had replaced my 8800 GTS (640MB) with an 8800 GT (512MB). Good times

Google: Virtualbox.

The idea of any hi-fi system is to reproduce the source material as faithfully as possible, and to deliberately add distortion to everything you hear (due to amplifier deficiencies) because it sounds 'nice' is simply not high fidelity. If that is what you want to hear then there is no problem with that, but by adding so much additional material (by way of harmonics and intermodulation) you have a tailored sound system, not a hi-fi. - Rod Elliot, ESP

soooo I'm already unhappy with the integrated sound on my mobo, but I really lack in knowlage when it comes to sound cards... what would be the best option from this page for under $100, very strict to below that budget:
http://www.directcanada.com/category/?minorcatid=1000

Keep in mind all I will really be using this for is gaming and music playback, hell the only thing I have to hook up to it now is a of tritton 5.1 headset.

EDIT: oh just realized it has to be a PCI card.
