http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_disk_cloning_software However, the hard drive you're copying from probably has more stored on it than the SSD has capacity, so you may need to move some stuff off first and resize the OS partition to the size of the SSD, before cloning it. | ||

I don't have a bandwidth cap, though, so it probably skews my perspective. | ||

Some SSDs come packaged with such things (e.g. retail boxed Samsung 830 with Norton Ghost). http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_disk_cloning_software However, the hard drive you're copying from probably has more stored on it than the SSD has capacity, so you may need to move some stuff off first and resize the OS partition to the size of the SSD, before cloning it. Yeah, if you resized the partition I suppose you could even use something like clonezilla, if you didn't want to pay. But considering how long it would take to do that, and given the benefits of a nice clean install; really no reason not to just reinstall the OS. | ||

You can buy custom keycaps to spice yours up, but if you really like pink keyboards you can just buy one from there o.O | ||

My guess would be between €2k - 2.5k. Not even going to begin stating how pointless it'd be to spend this much just to stream in ultra 1080p, though. | ||
