Good stuff cheers for the repiles :) Smart response looks like a great idea but seems it might be better suited if your only using 1 HDD and dont want to think about where to store or install things. Would be great for a laptop or everyday desktop. Think im going to go with installing...

What settings are you likey to change very often? a few buttons presses and wheel turns with the 1d has everything you normally need to change without going into the menu. Unless your looking to change Ai servo sensitivity, button allocations or other custom functions, you have...
