Just had a look, and that is correct...whoops. I'm looking for a headset to plug into an X-Fi Xtreme gamer card, but also to support other sources if possible.

The gadget show seems to have rated the Creatives highly for 5.1... Why has Overclockers put the Creative in the 'Stereo Headsets with Microphone' section?

Looking to get a 5.1 headset for my PC, but I'm not sure what to go for. I'm budgeting for around about £60 The SpeedLink Medusa SL-8796 5.1 Home Edition + 5.1 Amplifier sounds good - http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=SP-027-SL&groupid=702&catid=22&subcat=692 The...

I just read http://tomshardware.co.uk/2007/03/12/cheap_raid_ravages_wd_raptor_uk/ I think I will take the risk and go for Raid 0 on 2 x AAKS WD HDD, and use the 3rd HDD for Linux I hope I won't run into compatibility issue with RAID and the Kubuntu...

Cheers. I'll change the Caviar to the AAKS model, and memory over to the Crucial. I will take a look at the CPU coolers as well.

AAKS drive? Not heard of those before (I feel I'm a bit behind now...) Which one would you recommend? Which of those heatsinks is the quietest?

I've had bad experiences with Raid, so I'll be putting the Windows partition on the Raptor, and Kubuntu on the Caviar. I went for the GeIL as it had reviews from buyers on OC. Is the Ballistix much better? I assume you are talking about Crucial Ballistix 2GB (2x1GB) DDR2 PC2-6400C4 800MHz...

Ditch the Vista for the moment...

I'm looking for a keyboard/mouse which will work well with Linux (Kubuntu) as well as Windows XP. At the moment I'm using a Microsoft Intellimouse and an Microsoft Internet Keyboard Pro, but they are both being retired... I don't really an need wireless keyboard/mouse as my new PC will be...

I'm trying to find a reliable sub-£400 laptop. Had a look at the Dell outlet, and they have some dirt-cheap laptops on there. I've dealt with Dell from a business perspective, and never had any problems with them. But I hear horror stories about their consumer support... Thoughts? Any...

That is what I've decided to do. Just need to wait for the price to drop after the R600 is released (Or will the price drop?)

Good point. Any ideas on which has more bang for the buck?

I'm running a NEC 1680x1050 LCD screen, and want to max out the settings in Oblivion. Which of those options should I go for? Is the SLI overkill? Looking to run this on a system with a E6600 CPU, 10,000 RPM HDD and PC-6400 (2Gb) RAM

Would a 'Asus P5N32-E SLi nForce 680 (Socket 775) PCI-Express DDR2 Motherboard' be worth buying instead of a 650?

Good point. I'll probably look at getting an E6600 instead and upgrade in the future.

It sounds like using an Q6600 will be future proofing, as there are already games appearing which use all the cores...? If I do go down that route, would you suggest any changes to the spec? Thanks for the advice on the mobo, and video card. I'll have a look at those cases as well.

What is the big advantage that the 640mb has over the 320mb? I thought the premium price wasn't worth it? If I go the Q6600 route, would the recommended parts work well, or will I need to make some changes? Cheers.

Guys, I've hit the end of the upgrade path for my old beige minitower PC, and I'm looking for some recommendations for a replacement. I currently use this: P4-2.8 Abit TH7II-RAID Custom BIOS (It isn't supposed to accept 2.8Ghz chips...) XFX GeForce 6800GTS AGP 1.5Gb PC800 Rambus...

Same as my serial number. I had some backlight bleed in the lower left hand corner which has disappeared after a couple of days. I'm well chuffed!
