Computer back from repair

I picked up my computer from the shop today. It wasn't booting up due to a couple of hardware problems, most notably one of my hard drives was failing (a 2 Tb drive which contains over 92 thousand of my photographs). I bought a hard drive cloner, which didn't work for that drive, but I did begin using it as a way to hook up an internal drive as an external drive and copy files that were not corrupted into my new 4 Tb drive (giving my about 8.5 Tb internal drive space). I also got a new video card as the old one, which was really great, had been running at 95 degrees C so was almost dangerous. The new one uses newer technologies to is slightly superior but uses one quarter the power (and therefore less heat).
