Unfortunately I only have a HTIB Blu-ray setup rather than a proper amp. Although I could technically run to HDMI In on the player that would mean having to put up with the clunky interface all the time. Ideally, I want to run HDMI to the TV (which doesn't have passthrough) and SPDIF to the...

I'm looking to build a HTPC to replace the R-Pi I have that's running RaspBMC and am hoping for some advice as to what to go for. Usage, from most to least, will be as follows: 1080P DTS Movie and TV Streaming from NAS Foxtel (Sky) Go Netflix Emulation Gaming Steam Streaming...

Booked a Luxury but they couldn't provide so ended up with a QX60 SUV as "the best option available". Tried changing for a Luxury at San Diego the next day but again, none available despite advice that there would be. Therefore ended up with a Camaro as everything else they had was rubbish and...

I did the whole online check in thing but the confirmation email advised I needed to obtain the agreement from a kiosk. Which were all down.

We've just left San Fran, had a great time. Alcatraz was a good trip, pretty interesting and some marvellous views of the bay. Speaking of views, Battery Spencer has to be the best spot for seeing the Golden Gate bridge, highly recommend taking a look if you haven't already. Sausalito a little...

Thanks for the advice all. Looking at accommodation options for cutting a day from Vegas and stopping near Zion, along with cutting a day from LA and stopping at Santa Barbara. Not sure about trying to pack any more in, this is just a sub trip within a larger 4 month trip so I'm keen to ensure...

Hey all As part of a larger Round the World trip, my wife and I will be landing at LAX early September and heading out on a 3 week road trip. We've had a good read online and have come up with a rough itinerary, as follows: Tue 2 Sept - Cancun to LA Wed 3 Sept - LA to San Diego Thu 4...

All right. I've had a good chat with my mate and if a 3 screen setup is likely to be a hassle from game to game, he's happy to invest in a single large, high resolution screen. 30" plus ideally. So, given this, what do you suggest? Again, whilst this isn't a 'money no object' situation, he's...

I've been asked by a friend of mine to help him spec and build a new high end gaming PC but the trouble is I simply haven't kept up with the latest technology in recent years and am looking for some advice on the best options. He will be running 3 monitors, and wants the build to be powerful...

I picked up a Plextor M5S 256GB at the weekend, along with a WD Blue 1TB as a new games and documents drive. I've finished the initial Win8 install and driver/firmware patching, and I'm now half way through moving the Steam and Origin games from my old drive to the new drives (regularly played...

Do you know what, I hadn't actually considered that. Sure it's only 16GB extra but on a small drive that might actually make a difference. Think you may have just convinced me! Thanks :)

Hmmm, the Pro is around $60 more expensive which I don't think I can justify. These 5 all have 3 year warranties so there's no help in deciding there. Cheers anyway.

I'm shortly going to rebuild my PC with Windows 8 and thought it would be a good time to invest in an SSD. The SSD will be used as the OS and apps drive, and will also have a few games installed that will regularly be played online. I'm looking at the following models which are all pretty much...

Well, really enjoyed that. Shame to see Webber beaten that way, but made for some awesome post race entertainment. Hamilton really didn't seem too happy either, especially with that camera man. Gutted for Button with that pitstop, especially seeing the laps he was putting in afterwards...

I built this exact same combination last week and have set a static IP from within ESX with no issues. I'd suggest reinstalling as it only takes a matter of minutes.

They adjusted the timings on the Sunday with the V8 setting off 22s after the SL and the RB 44s after IIRC. End result being that Mick Doohan won in the SL by about 3 tenths. I was towards the back of the main straight and must say it looked pretty good with the SL and the V8 coming round the...

It was a 2011 Red Bull that was used in the speed comparison this weekend.

To be fair, it wasn't just a bit of rain, it was a torrential downpour

Well, even though the weather has been ***** and the BBQ I've been at has been a wash out, it's worked out fantastic for me. Now, I get to see both qualifying and the race on my single Sunday pass :cool: It has been crap weather here today though and I've no issues with them postponing. It's...

Drove past Albert Park earlier during FP2 and the noise was absolutely fantastic. Could even hear the cars from the CBD. Wish I'd managed to convince the guys to go with the 4 day pass as so wanted to be there! Ah well, a meal and a few drinks out round St Kilda wasn't a bad alternative :)...
