    flubit - how they do it

    I have had 2 out of my last 3 orders cancelled with stock issues - despite them coming from Amazon and still being in stock on the amazon website. Methinks if the price goes up on the rain forest after you accept their offer then they simply cancel it ... left me minus £250 over the festive...

    Which one Sony KDL42W706BSU or Samsung UE40H6400

    You certainly don't want to be replacing the ST50 with one of those ... not sure where the 55" version is entering calculations?? Either way buying a smaller/bigger version of either LCD is a big step-down on your (still excellent) ST50 plasma.

    ** NEED A MINI-ITX CASE? XIGMATEK HAVE THE ANSWER(S) **

    First one would be ideal as an HTPC as it looks like a high-end sub-woofer ... that would get my vote out of the three and it looks great value.

    VLC Player stuttering videos on my new HTPC??

    Thanks for the info - the htpc came with a fresh install of windows 8.1. I have downloaded Media Player Classic and the motion looks nice and smooth with no stuttering - just as a test I simultaneously opened the same 1080p MKV in MPC and VLC and they both played fine. Whatever was causing...

    Hiya, I have just bought a new HTPC which has the following: Intel Celeron-1037U 128gb SSD 4GB DDR3 memory I have it connected to my VT50 Panasonic plasma with the idea of sticking XBMC on it and using it mainly as a streaming device but also to play back local media to take the place of...

    Alan Henning killed.

    Don't be duped - why do you think it will take Western boots on the ground to resolve this issue?? Let's face it we all know what the outcome of these IS videos ultimately has to be - they are simply goading the west into playing the part of the bad guys against muslims once more. We don't...

    Alan Henning killed.

    But on the other hand it is great propaganda for this government and anything they decide to do down the line ... Let's fact it until westerners start putting boots on the ground this regime is going to thrive in the middle east. If the middle east can't (won't) sort their own problems out we...

    Problems cloning old HD to SSHD!!

    Yes but it seems to be getting designated its own drive by windows 7 (F). I have recloned my SSD and simply expanded the partition in Macrium Reflect so hopefully that will do the trick.

    Problems cloning old HD to SSHD!!

    Hiya folks, I have recently just bought a new 2TB Seagate SHHD and have cloned my old 500GB hard drive to the new SSHD. Everything has gone OK and I created a new partition of 1.5TB for storage but I also seem to have an additional partition of 100MB. So I have the following: C: 500GB...

    4TB partition problems!!

    Hiya, guys thanks for all the hints - never managed to get any of them to work but I did manage to get it working with EaseUS Partition Master. I first of all deleted all the paritions on the hard drive and then Initialized to GPT - literally took 30 seconds and everything is now OK and I...

    ** New Product Available for Pre-Order Phanteks Enthoo Evolv**

    Personally I think that is a great idea and at least gives you the option of utilsing it or not whilst not altering the clean design of the case. I think most folks would simply use it to install an operating system and then remove it and keep for emergencies ...

    LG OLEDs getting cheaper and cheaper

    Samsung are under massive strain at the moment - they don't have an OLED to actually release to the general public simply because their chosen route can't get the yields to make it economically viable. In the meantime LG are investing hundreds of millions into OLED tech and vast worldwide...

    Why don't I like whiskey?

    I hate Whisky - tends to make me very argumentative and aggressive. At first I thought it was an age thing and I would grow to love it but it doesn't work that way it seems as I still try and drink it at least once a year (when really drunk) with the same results. I have tried them all and...

    LG 50PN650T

    LG haven't really updated their plasma lineup for 2 or 3 years - basically they have just put a new bezel on it and added the latest Smart TV then given them a new model number. Having said that for approx £470 you aren't really going to get anything at that price point to touch it - it will...

    ** NZXT H440 - SUPER SLEEK GAMING CHASSIS WITH EPIC WC POTENTIAL **

    I think the Black & Red version is absolutely stunning - very sleek and when you consider it is coming in at under 100 quid it really should be a massive seller for NZXT. I would love to see them do a Micro-ATX version of this case.
