    External Hard Drive Enclosure?

    Icy Dock 390 (USB/eSATA) with a Samsung 1Tb F1 is what I've got... Served me well for the last. Passive cooling so it's quiet and temps are reasonable. My brother-in-law has had the same, he got it 8months ago and it's still running well.

    Any way to tell the difference between petrol and diesel in a can?

    You don't want to risk it. I'd go a buy a can and fill it up. At least it's guaranteed to be what you want. Better than have to rebuild your engine if you got it wrong or was contaminated in any way.

    Easy enough to do? *scared*

    Initially download all drivers etc for your current system, reinstall. See what that gives. Then as long as you have OK cooling I'd overclock your current syste,, I reckon you'll save yourself a wad of money.

    is 1920x1200 too much on a 15" laptop?

    Had a Dell D820 which was 1920*1200... was far too small and uncomfortable to use for any length of time. Best for me on a 15.4 was 1440x900.

    Samsung Spin F1 or WD Cav Black?
