1TB SSD and 4TB HDD in my main box. 30TB on my server

Eagles - Long Road out of Eden

My NAS server runs win7 with simple sharing over Gig Lan. I get 120mb/s copy and 110mb/s read no fancy RAID. I think it's a lot to do with the drives you have and the network adapters / drivers

I would say any of the Dell Ultrasharp range 16:10 ratio. Like this one - http://www.amazon.co.uk/Dell-U2415-inch-IPS-Monitor/dp/B00OA2I362/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1441934543&sr=8-1&keywords=dell+u2415

I've been using Yahoo since the beginning 1998 and it has been rock solid since. many ppl do not like the interface but for me it works.

If you SMART is failing I would back up the data 1st. it might be a false positive but just be sure back it up. In my experience of 20+ years seageate drives fail most often, then IBM / HGST then WD. ( i work in a corp with 150,000 computers). In my personal experience I've never had Seagate...

a decent 24" IPS full RGB screen will set your around £250 ( http://www.amazon.co.uk/Dell-UltraSharp-U2415-Inch-1920x1200/dp/B00O9ZGI58 ) that doesn't leave much for the PC. I would go for an i5 current generation CPU with at least 8gb of RAM and 256ssd + 1-2 tb HDD. so you have to spend about...

I spent a lot of time looking for a sofa bed of a decent enough quality for under 1k. Finally chose to get it from the Furniture Village, they seemed the be the most decent in quality. I mist say they managed to screw up the delivery and then delivered the wrong foot stool, so not the best in...

Used to be. On the road I live on , there is not a day gone by without someone loosing their mirror or getting their bumper smashed or the car scratched, cats get ran over quite often too. I also drive quite a bit in EU and can say driving is on par with the UK. ( apart from the motorways, no...

The Police have been very lazy recently concentrating on Speed and ignoring other offences. I also despite living in SE London , hardly see any patrol cars around.

They could outsource it = create jobs :)

London Cabbies are ok to me, it's the minicab drivers that are quite bad

I am sure small part will go on and drive as before, but the amount of drivers I see that haven't got a clue when they get to a roundabout is rather large. It's more of a refresh, it could just be theory test, but I think an experiment/study needs to be done on the subject, and not a half arsed...
