Yeah, that appeals a lot, and I really like the minimalist look.
Now updated!
Ha, if only solutions were so easy! Stick with it man. And yeah, having an ear to talk to does wonders, much better than a message board
Take advantage of their kindness, don't feel guilty, you will repay the favour at some point.Nope. I can always upgrade, but I don't want to buy it until I have played with it. I know W7, I like it.

Dead Man, reconsider the need for an internal drive... If you don't use it much, look into a (slightly more expensive) external drive that you can use on any machine. I seem to recall you have a netbook so it would be useful with that too.
Family squabbles over inheritance (I know you're not at this stage yet) can get really messy. Seen it happen with the in-laws and it's created some incredible divides where there was once a close family. Both you and your grandmother shouldn't have to put up with this bullshit.
We're all pulling for you (and your nan), dude. And go for that walk (if it's safe) if it'll help.
This is a terrible situation you've been put in. I can't really add much to what everyone else has already said, but DM me via Twitter if there's anything I can do to help.

Heh, already got 6tb of external drives hanging around. My laptop has about 100gb of drive, drives me batshit juggling installs, I just want to be able to not worry about how many games are installed.

I was referring to the optical drive, not HDD, but in hindsight that wasn't very clear...
Ah. That might actually be a good idea, I'll have to have a think on that one. Cheers.

Choc, If you still read this thread. I own a vita, Gimme free game!!
I haven't been paying attention to the PC builds in here.
Dead man, Are you going to OC the heck out of that machine?
Also, This is how I've been secretly saving money for a house ... truth is out - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SOIbmiQ755Y

Oh actually yeah that optical drive could just be a DVD driver really, unless you don't already have a blu ray player, especially if it is just plain black front so it will look even nicer with the fancy case
You monster.

I really don't see what's so bad about it tbh. It's not what it should've been but it's not terrible.
My bluetooth drivers on my laptop are broken. And i've tried everything. EVERYTHING. completly uninstalled drivers blah blah.
it all started after i plugged in an adaptor for an xbox 360 controller
then when I tried to remove blue tooth devices they just froze on "removing" for days.

Oh hey, Serrels' Twitter just reminded me that it's Win/9's bi-annual "showing The Witches"-a-thon. Though it's an hour in to it and I won't be home to watch the rest tonight.

Got back from Uni society board game day! Which also had some other jerk show up and play some nonsense Risk game for 6 hours then leave.
I played:
Pandemic 2013 - Group loss. Played as a starting game between some people who arrived as early as I did. We cured blue and red and almost had yellow, but got murdered by black freaking itself all over the board. Hardest difficulty with mostly new players still wasn't that bad.
Zombicide - Described as Left 4 Dead: The Board game. My character was doing pretty well for himself early game, as I was rocking dual pistols and just shooting the shit out of zombies. Unfortunately I was needed at another board game and ran out of time, so I nobly sacrificed myself to the oncoming hoard of zombies, leaving my team to survive for the next like 5 fucking hours.
Arkham Horror - Started at 1:30. 1 hour of setup and rules. The first turn took roughly an hour. Second took 45. From there we started moving quickly. This was a friend's game, who I nagged to bring it so I'd finally get to play it.
I lucked out by getting a shotgun on my first draw, making me a critical member of the kicking Cthulu ass squad for the rest of the game, despite my strength being in science and lore.
We did a pretty shit job of plugging up holes in space and time, but in terms of horrific monsters from the unknown depths, they didn't stand up to a 12-gauge. Later in the game I got a motorcycle, allowing me to live out my Lovecraftian detective horror Barry Steakfries cross-fiction dreams. Except for that one time when I decided that, yes, I should eat all of these delicious cakes in this haunted witch house.
We couldn't stop the end-game god from spawning, but amazingly, subjecting a fucker to a five man firing squad is enough to turn this gigantic tentacle monster made of a thousand mouths and your deepest fears into a cowering baby.
So, somehow we won. Probably due to some early rule fudgery as we didn't quite work out how combat worked.
Cards Against Humanity - End of the night, it's 6:15PM, it's dark, but we have this room for another 45 minutes. Fuck it, I pull out CAH. 15 players, a few of whom had played it before surprisingly. I feel that the game wroked muuuuch better on the new players than the old, as at this point I believe my friends have gone through this game five times now. Still, it was a good pallet cleanser, and ended the night on a good note.
--
So, it was good fun. Pizza and soda were had, I got to be really loud, I rolled hecka dice, killed some zombies, infected some cities, had my sanity taken by unimaginable nightmares, and then made light of the holocaust.
I might go and get a membership at the new board game thing that opened up in Hobart, as they half-hosted the event. Wouldn't mind playing with people a bit more often with some of the longer games. Especially Zombicide, which looked rad.
I had to pass up on a few games I'd have liked to try, like Risk and Dominion and some Munchkin board game I'd not seen before. And some game that was so hella space.

Turns out it's 2 years old:

I guess that explains why SMH is just reporting on it now, still looks interesting though.

I think the game saves are stored on the SD Card. Just back up the card (via PC) from the old machine and then move them to the new card... or just put the old card into the new machine.
That should do it, I think!
