          John, Cheapest I could find:

          You will need a coaxial cable if you don’t have optical out on your TV.

                Nice timing Dave. I was thinking about ditching my N54L and building a J1x00 (or similar) server.

                I have a some questions.

                1. How long are rebuild times?
                2. How much space does parity use?
                3. How does it (if it does) deal with uneven drive sizes?

                TIA.

                  The RCA (phono) connectors that are red / white / yellow will probably be inputs to the TV. I use them to connect up my old Sega Megadrive. If there are red / green / blue RCA connectors, they will also be (probably) inputs.

                  John, you need to list all the ports on your TV so we can help you out.

                  Have a look in the TVs menu at sound options. I have seen separate volume options for the 3.5 audio output as well as the built in speakers. This is rare though.

                  Edit: If you do (unlikely) have RCA audio output, try this: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/RCA-Stereo-Audio-Splitter-Cable-Lead-3-5mm-Jack-Female-Socket-to-2-x-Male-Phono-/271176572471?hash=item3f23621e37:g:UEQAAMXQWzNSnSQn

                          I was going to post “people like this should have their head crushed, not their car” I thought it was a bit too right wing correct.

                          Happy to be proved wrong though. ?

                                    John, It depends on the version of the USB port.

                                    You need to find that out from the manual.

                                      An up to date W7 install weighs in at around 32GB.

                                      If you are using twice that, try the above. Check for installed games and the like in control panel.

                                      The windirstat will show file sizes. A folder tucked away with a rip of four DVDs could occupy all that space.

                                      As long as there are no nasties, a half full SSD is nowt to panic over.

                                        You will have to drag yourself to the letterbox though.

                                          As above.

                                          Turning off hibernation (as long as you don’t use it) will free up some space.

                                          There are other things that can be done.

                                          How big is your drive?

                                            More adverts.

                                            More endless speculation.

                                            Just hope they don’t ruin it.
