Thanks for the ideas so far guys.
I use dvdshrink 3.2 to rip my dvds to the harddrive that way i can adjust the compression and select exactly what i want from each movie; whether i only want the movie or the whole shebang off the disk to include extras previews and extra languages. I have a 160gb in the SHIFT_pc and 10gb is all mp3s; software (the os, frontend, various media players, gps software) is another 5gb leaving anough space to put about 30 dvds shrunk down to 4gb each.

btw i don't use the SHIFT_pc to rip the dvds since it would be painfully slow on the 933mhz P3. I rip them on my 3.2ghz p4 to a portable hard drive and transfer them to the SHIFT_pc. My desktop does the process in about 1/5 of the time taking about 40mins to rip a complete dvd including all extras and compressing it to 4gb from 6+ gb

Hope this helps some,
