    Sky TV dead pixels, anyone else?

    Noticed this myself a few weeks back & dug out a magnifying glass, the white dots don't half resemble a tiny mouse cursor arrow on my TV.

    Hi all, I'm looking into building a desk under a stairway that that spans from one wall to the other. The length of this is 2.58m with a depth of 92cm & I'm looking to to do it without the need of support legs. Due to the shape of the area it is going into I can atached it to three walls...

    Opera 11 Painfully slow with OCUK!

    Same thing happened to me when I let it just update instead of a clean install. Removed & reinstalled & all is back to how it should be.

    Something is eating up lots of memory!

    Had the same problem a few times, I think you'll find it's one of the mkv files that is causing it due to the encoding profile used. Only way to stop it was to delete the offending file via dos window as attempting to delete it through normal explorer window caused memory to fill almost...

    Silverstone Fortress FT02B-W Owners, Your thought's please!!!

    Simply the best case I have ever used, keeps everything unbelievably cool without the usual noise. I confirm that due to the positive pressure there is a substantial amount of air being pushed out of the top of this & my GTX480 has never been happier.

    ASUS WOES :''(

    According to ASUS (the American site) during the standard 3 year warranty period for motherboards you are supposed to contact the reseller. The UK version of the support site seems to only go on about laptops, PDA's & the like so it's anyone’s guess. PS/ You would be better calling them for...

    Just Been Fired for NO REASON!

    Little back story... I've been out of work for several months despite hundreds of applications & numerous interviews. Recently some have stated that they don't understand why with my qualifications I would be applying for the lowly admin positions they offer. It appears with some I didn’t end...

    5870 settings and BFBC2

    I do believe that FPS in this can take a huge dive depending on the server you are connecting to. I & other members of our clan have noticed when in games on different servers involving identical map/gametype/# of players FPS has varied by as much as 20FPS in some cases when looking at the...

    Is there no solution to heat problems?

    I toyed with the idea of setting my systems up in the garage (it's always freezing cold) which is next to my compter room & just feeding cables & connection points through the wall for DVI/USB etc. It seemed like a good Idea to take care of heat & noise problems but the other half wasn't keen...

    Biggest Load of Tosh

    Total Wipeout USA is a truly entertaining program. The presenters Henson & Anderson are funny as hell, Jill Wagner is a total babe & the courses really do put the contestants through the grinder. Total Wipeout UK is a truly dreadfully poor imitation of the original. Hammond’s performance is...

    Scared of heights?

    I'm not afraid of heights as such but no amount of money would ever get me to climb up that. I actually felt certain parts of me tightening up while just watching someone else do it.
