Had I known this was here I would have posted sooner

. What are you planning to with your laptop Ratty? I'll put some pics up of my setup, might be an option for you to try if you want. My old laptop sits next to my desktop on a software KVM, connected via crossover ethernet on its own subnet. It's also good for transfering/syncing files between them, but depends how often you take your laptop out.

UPDATE:
OS: Windows 7
HDD: 3 x 1TB (Media), 1 x 1.5TB (Main Storage - Program Files, My Documents), 1x160 (OS)
