Cool setup, bro! Yet Plusnet!!!!!!!! Cool points: -1000.

Thanks! Once I get the Edgerouter ordered, I'll be removing that hub and I can pretend I'm not using them

Is there such a thing as a "cool" ISP?

Hyperoptic are cool. I miss my 1000/1000 connection

have been doing a bit of reading around this area - seems the UK game cubes didn't get 480p titles and they suffer from some of the usual PAL issues

best way to play GC games using hardware AFAIK is to buy the US versions and play using a Wii on a Sony BVM or EDTV at native 480p resolution

Which all gets very expensive hence my going nuts to that.

Indeed. The component cables that are so sort after are pretty much pointless on a pal GC from what I understand due to this.

For £22, I'm super happy with the results of this box mind. I have a normal trinitron CRT but this box means I'll get more use out of my systems downstairs

Wall mounted the TV at last so decided to get another light strip for it. Looks really nice, I was worried it might be distracting but it actually goes really well. Picture makes it look blown out but it's very subtle, and can obviously adjust it brightness and colour wise for whatever I feel like

@Steedie looks good, shame about the conduit but necessary evil and all that.

Steedie · 24 Jul 2017 at 13:53

Yeah, I'll eventually put it in the wall. But I do have a tendency to move/change things, so if it's still the same in 6 months, I know it's staying and I'll make that commitment to tear up the wall

Nice looking setup Steedie. May I ask what the point is of light strips around TVs? Does it help mask backlight bleed or something?

It makes the contrast appear better.

Put together my ALEX drawers, and started on my office... still waiting on loads, so it's no where near finished, but it's a start.

Phate · 24 Jul 2017 at 14:40

Nice start

I want something similar next year!

I've never noticed anything personally, but I do prefer some sort of back glow from the screen.

I'm just about to dismantle mine and re-assemble in the next house!

I have the same draws but in grey, if you don't mind, where did you get the table top from, and how is it attached ?

Set of AV600 powerline doodahs and some more Poundland blu-rays for the library.

They're refurbs, but I've never had a single one yet with any scratches or blemishes. In fact, all of them I've bought so far have been in mint condition, right down to the inserts being uncreased. And for a quid each, well...
