How can I get extra [SATA] storage space, the cheapest way?

Hello everybody,
I've an Asus M2N68-AM Plus Motherboard in a HTPC with all SATA connectors occupied. What can you guys come up with as the cheapest way to add more extra storage space [via SATA]?
1. Change Mobo?
2. Switch HD's?
3. Any controller board?
4. Other?
Note: The main idea is to maintain the existing HD's, cause I don't want to keep them unused or to loose money by selling.
Regards.

Does that mobo have an eSata connector on the back panel?
If yes, buy a regular Sata drive and an enclosure (with a fan!) that has eSata as well as, or instead of USB... and just connect it that way
Or buy a ready made eSata drive/enclosure

    You don't. Delete 'stuff' you don't need or buy a phone with more storage. you can not increase or upgrade the internal storage in the iPhone.

  • When making a book, one of my photos selected appears only on the flap, how can I get it to be in the book also?

    1.  When making a book using Iphoto, one of my photos selected appears only on the back flap, how can I get it to be in the book also? I added an extra page thinking that would help, didn't! 
    2.  It says that you can photos anytime, can I add a photo that I did not select originally without starting completely over?
    ...any suggesstions for both problems would be appreciated. Thanks

    you can use a photo many time is the same book - simply drag it from the photo strip to the photo frame you want it in - even though you have used it before you can still use it again
    And adding photos is easy - go to the photo (in an album, event or photo view) and drag the photo(s) to the book under keepsakes - it will now be available to use

  • How can I get a new copy of the Voicemail app for my LG Spectrum?

    How can I get a new copy of the Voicemail app for my LG Spectrum?  It no longer works....the screen say Loading please wait....the
    !Visual Voice Mail - A Visual Voice Mail error has occurred.  Please try again. OK   I've tryed several times with the same message.  I've
    deleted the app from my screen and replaced it from the Apps Library....still the same message.
    I cannot find an answer on MyVerizon.  Any ideas?
    Thank you,
    Dee

    OK, at least 3 is working.
    I don't know how you have a Tape Recorder icon on your Home Screen. I cannot add one myself. But, I am running Holo Launcher in replacement of the default LG "Optimus" User Interface. It's much better in my opinion.
    Try long pressing the icon and select Edit and maybe you can change some attribute of the icon.
    Another thing you could do, is long-press an empty area of your desktop, to add an icon. Select Shortcut, then Select Contact, and scroll through your contact list and choose the contact that you added for *86.
    You realize if you have voice mail you haven't heard, there is a tape recorder icon in the notification bar, which you touch and pull down, then press it to dial voicemail.
    If that functionality doesn't work, you MIGHT want to consider doing a factory data reset on your device, but that is going to nuke all your personalizations and cause you work to set up again.

    Most Windows users don't.
    Purchase an external hard drive and use the backup software that comes with it to backup files from your computer.
    Buy TouchCopy and install it on your new computer, connect your old iPod and transfer your songs to your computer.

    I am puzzled by this. The laptop doesn't need the Apple ID - but iTunes does. I could be missing something but ....
    Why would you not be able to use your existing Apple ID and iTunes account on a new laptop? If you authorized the computer - you should be able to use your existing account - unless you already had 5 computers authorized with the existing ID - and that was why iTunes would not accept the ID. However, I'm sure that you would have received a popup message from iTunes telling you that you had reached the limit.
    I just received a new MBP and my daughter did as well. My entire family shares an Apple ID and we had no issues at all with my Apple ID and iTunes on our new computers and I did not have to sign up for a new account. Did you even try the old ID?

  • HOW can I get a GOOD copy of the iTunes software for my desktop?

    I solved MY corrupt firmware file problem!
    A little background- I deleted all Apple, iPod, and QuickTime software from my desktop PC and reloaded iTunes for the (I don't know how many) time. Same thing! Downloaded it again and used the "erase iTunes" option then reloaded again and had the same result. I then cranked up my old laptop and when I got to the Apple website, I was offered an opportunity to download QuickTime and took it. It came with iTunes if I wanted, so I took that too. After the download, I plugged in the Nano and it restored to Windows format. I did not want it to sync to the laptop, so I took it to the desktop and was able to sync with Nano and downloaded my tunes. TALK ABOUT HOKEY!
    WHY does the restore program have to be resident on MY PC or MAC anyway? Seems like I could just as simply download a current copy from Apple every time I want to restore.
    WHY doesn't Apple do something about this problem and let users know about the solution? Do they not want to grab a share of the Windows business? Here is an excellent opportunity!
    Now for my question.
    HOW can I get a GOOD copy of the iTunes software for my desktop? I now know it works! Is there a hidden file or folder I should delete before I make my next attempt to cleanup and download? Why isn't this information public?
    I spent over 30 years in the DP industry. PC is not my area of expertise, but this must be the most frustrating experience of my years.
    desktop   Windows XP  

    I THINK I have solved the problem. Can't be 100% because I don't want to try a restore. At least the Apple home page lites up correctly with quicktime now. It hadn't in the past.
    Thank you for your assistance. - LRB

    Also, when I do try to drag it out of the Trash to put it back into Applications (on the Finder sidebar), it asks me to authenticate with the administration password.  I enter it, and then a window appears saying that I can't do that because I do not have permission to modify iTunes.  Please help.

    "Current browser"? When viewing anything, or just when using an APEX app?
    Ans .. Just when using apex app....even if the apex app is minimised ..The current browser will be the one where I am using apex app...
    What i am looking for some scheduler .. to check ..in the table every 5 minute for change if there is a change..then a popup alert be shown...
    Split it into [at least] 2 components, database and browser. I'd expect someone calling themself a "DBA Architect" to have some ideas about the database side of things, even if not clued up on JavaScript and AJAX?
    I dont think its a database isssue... When i say to check every 5 minutes ..it could be easily done via dbms_scheduler ...I am having issue in getting the popup alert message...
    in apex... Dont know wether there is a plugin like modal window(available from skill builder) which shall help in this scenario,.Or might be have to use java scripting and ajax ..
    and if it is that (Java scripting and Ajax) .....then shall have to be familiar with java scripting and Ajax...and this shall be a bit time consuming..
    Had a feeling this could be accomplished via java scripting and ajax.. ...but still looking for some easy way..

  • How can you get an applet to obey the CSS z-index attribute?

    How can you get an applet to obey the CSS z-index attribute?
    I have a DHMTL page with a panel that I want to slide back and forth. But another part of the requirement is to have the panel look like it is sliding under another panel.
    The problem is that an applet is on the panel that slides. When the sliding panel move under the stationary panel the applet does not go under the stationary panel, but the reset of the sliding panel does render looking like it is sliding under.
    See below.

All the panels are 1x1 tables with a border. So how can I get the applet on the drawing shown with # and * to follow the rendering of the z-index of 2?

    Hi,
    I have the same problem, and don't know how to solve it, So, i had tried to put my applet in a div tag wih z-index=0, but it still hide my other Dhtml divs with bigger Z-index (z-index =1000)
    Have you any idea to solve this.
    Thanks
