  1. Just ordered a Vanguard mini tripod, the 'Tourist 2'. Hope it will be good, anyone head of this brand even>?
  2. haha, its in the room below mine. So only a small way away. My signal just seemed to lose strength for short instances quite often.
  3. just added a high gain wireless antenna to my pci wireless card to improve signal. much much better
  4. a 5db high gain antenna for my wireless pci card .
  5. ah ha, i tend to miss either of those whenever its on a forum, but in this instance, i thought i;d add some of my own sarcasm/irony with MY little post
  6. lol, nothing wrong with being a nerd atrain, 'mr coolness'
  7. heh is that it. No biggie, im never going to use anything else anyway.
  8. Just installed my SATA I, 10k Raptor this morning. Formatted it as Dynamic (as opposed to basic) not quite sure what the difference was, any ideas, rich? anyone>?
  9. 1 X Western Digital SATA 10K 74gb hdd @ £115 or $207
  10. err it hurts depending on how close you get shot. point blank range leave a mark for a few months, from 20 metres away it stings a LOT. oh, and you get some paint on you.
  11. What can i say, i like my counter strike.. do you like sheep 3??
  12. haha ; @ daniel, you should go, ive only been to a small shitty one in greece, and im going to one in the UK here and those are probably really hard core. Dont know if I;ll even get a shot it, but im sure it will be fun. @Ray, hey man havent seen you in a while, whats new??
  13. im liking the 'click to a move a window and it goes invisible' feature that you get in my nvidia settings. can also set your task bar to be as transparent as u like.
  14. cheers for the b-day wishes everyone not doing anything fancy, probably just going out to eat tonight. Have organised to go paintballing on friday with three friends and a load of people they will fix us up with so yippee
  15. you should upload a little video clip so we can see the disc eject/insert function
  16. well theyve started charging people for their beta releases (microsoft office 2007 beta 2 being one program) I myself had downloaded it before they started charging just a few weeks ago.
  17. i think he meant that its more special than 'just' a games console as opposed to it having some hidden features.
  18. hmm, if you like i can do a benchmark test of my lacie using firewire 400 on my laptop then compare that with my desktops firewire 400 just to give you an idea of what you might be in for?
  19. all you need is a little cabinet. One thats wide enough for the micro system on top, and wide enough for you to put the deck inside, then you just drill a few holes in the back for the decks wires. You could always just get a bigger desk?
  20. looks pretty cool. heres an external with sata interface; http://www.lacie.com/uk/products/product.htm?pid=10571 I;ve been really impressed with my lacie d2 so thats why im reccomending a lacie one here. You can im sure get a case for a sata hdd and just use that pcimcia card though. Obviously if you do that, you will get the full warranty instead of just a 1 year that you get with regular electronic devices. Im not sure you will find a 'mobile' one i.e one thats tiny with a relatively small amount of space. I can take a snap shot of my 160gb lacie. You can take the base stand off so its just one square brick. It isnt really portable unless you are using a backpack or briefcase. A word of warning rich; what hard disk does your laptop that you plan to use the pcimcia card have??? If it is a 5000rpm hard disk the speed of the interface will be severly hindered by the speed of the laptops hard disk.
  21. Well I bought myself a lacie tripple interface D2 extreme 160gb external hdd about a year ago, and have been through all the different connections. Just recently i bought a 3 port firewire 800 pci card. Pricey, and I only have 1 device with firewire800, but the drive seems and is ALOT faster. I;ve clocked a transfer of 4gb in around 2 minutes flat with firewire 800. here are my findings; Firewire 800 v Firewire 500; a nice 10mb/s faster average read speed Firewire 800 v USB2; erm... Firewire 400 v USB2; Hope you guys found this interesting.
