NexStar CX HDD Caddy

I've had a spare 2.5" hard drive laying around for a while and I've been wondering what to do with it. It's a 200GB Sata 5200rpm drive; Big enough to be useful, but what for?

My Top 5 Tips for Moving or Upgrading an Operating System

With the ever approaching release of Windows 7, and the continually rising support for Mac and Linux, I thought I might give everyone my 5 tips based on personal experiences before Upgrading or Moving Operating System:

1) Back up data.

This is probably the most important part of moving or upgrading. Don’t think “I’m only upgrading, My files will be fine!”. I’ve thought this in the past and files can be corrupted or even lost. I back up my files in two ways; A Hard Drive Image of my working sys… Continue
