Another photo of my new toy, booted up 
It's a large case, with plenty of room for upgrades, i.e. new cards, drives, etc.

On my trans-Africa drive in '94-'94, we battled to get out of Nigeria and into Cameroun.......ending up in no-man's land between the two overnight. There were a couple of other cars and a truck in there. We parked alongside the truck, and set up camp, when we were joined by the secret policeman who had saved our bacon half-way through the public strip search I was undergoing. Anyway, we offered him a warm beer from our tiny stash, and he laughed, said thanks, waved it away, and called out to the truck driver of the vehicle next to us. A moment later the guy arrived with a full crate of Guinness!!
Turns out it was a Guinness truck, which had been stuck in no-man's land for 3 months, and had given away nearly half his load in exchange for food and so on, whilst he waited for his boss to send papers. So, with monkeys overhead, jungle all around, near 100% humidity, and 40 degree heat, we had a Guinness fuelled party, the only white guys for hundreds of miles around sharing a toast to the Irish with a secret policeman and half a dozen other stranded Africans. Happy days!!!!!

Yes, the 335GB took about 9 hours to copy. I've installed the antivirus (Avast!). Heaps more to do, though.
Was that the African made Guinness that's about five or six percent?
Normally I wouldn't turn down a Guinness, especially if the dragon's buying, but I've already started on the Stella tonight.
It certainly was made in Africa. i have no idea what its strength was. All I know is that after weeks of driving across the Sahara and the Sahel, almost the entire time in Moslem countries (ie no alcohol), that the stuff tasted like nectar.

However, the Guinness variant popular in Ireland, the UK and the U.S. is not the popular one in Africa, where they prefer the Guinness Extra Foreign Stout, a variant with a much higher alcohol content (7.5%) than the draft (around 4.0%).
