OK, I admit it — I bought my G5 as much to tinker with as to do video editing on. And so far, the tinkering and editing are measuring about even on the pleasure meter.

Just last night, I added a fourth Maxtor DiamondMax 300 gig drive via my MaxConnect hard drive expansion kit, bringing the G5’s total storage up to 1.36 terabytes, including the 160GB boot drive.

Why do I need all that space? To edit video, of course.

Now I just have to figure out why my optical drive has suddenly crapped out.
