Oh god I have a 2nd gen Sandy Bridge i5 =D

Is the backup partition on the same hard drive? It seems a little redundant if the whole hard drive fails on a miserable Monday morning.

I think you can get a 320GB portable HDD for around ~£20 / ~$35

Gonna be tossing it on ebay actually. Minus the drive and ram.
The problem is I have Electromagnetic Hypersensitivity. (It's a documented medical condition).
And the Powersupply, well it puts out A-LOT of EMR, as badly as those old dell CRTs.
And the heat from the rest of the system doesn't help. :/

My plans were to play games like SRThird and such. but I can't have it on for more than 2seconds without getting a major case of what feels like a flu. (nausea, vomitting feeling, etc). >~< Which it did max out, but what good is it if it makes my room so hot the AC can't even keep up? And makes me sick to boot? Blargh

And I have no money for another drive to begin with. lol
I could try selling my big old but gorgeous 27inch Sony Wega Trinitron. They still get bought left and right by CRT lovers for nearly 400$ in some cases, hell some pay 1,000$ for the HD (1080i, aka the "FD Trinitron" models)....so yeah.

I also still have a defective 1155 MSI board lying around I could probably go get fixed once I have money. Thinking of doing that, and grabbing a Pentium G850 or G870. (50-60$) Which should actually be faster but cooler than this Phenom, at least in games like Skyrim that demand a higher IPC over raw GHZ.
