Hi all, At the end of next month its my sisters 18th birthday. The parent folk have charged me with finding a laptop or netbook computer. The budget is fairly variable up to around 500 quid. What do you reckon the best bet is for that kind of money? I have an Asus Eee and am swayed more...

Anyone got this game? Picked it up today and so far is pretty enjoyable, been a fan of the dota concept in warcraft and this stays pretty true to it. Visuals are nice and run smoothly on my setup.

Good morning chaps, I'm looking to get a new monitor as my current 17" is dying quite a painful death. I can still see my desktop background most of the time, it's pretty old and has had a decent life though. However as a student my cash is fairly limited, I'm looking for something around...

Just downloaded this earlier and I think it's a pretty sweet game. It's a simple platformer but with a nice graphical style. Check out the demo.. Linky

So who tuned in and saw what has to be the second best fa cup final in my memory? Second only to Liverpool West Ham a couple of years back. There was more skill on show than any of the big four in the prem could muster between them. A good contest with Cardiff dominating in the first half...

Hi there, After getting my newish sig rig I've thrown together all my old parts over the last few months. I built a rig from my step brother with a 939 3700+, 1.5gb of ram, 7900gto. The rest of the stuff, a 939 A64 3000+ Winnie core (which I'll OC when I'm home next weekend, used to hit...

Hi guys Basically I've got some funny looking lines apearing on my screen over the last couple of weeks. When playing games I can pretty much see the outline of my firefox browser still and lines and bits likes that. Whats the diagnosis Doc? How longs she got left? Screen is a cheapy 17 tft, a...

Clicky There is certainly something about the speed blur that makes this more addictive than the original of TN Nations. Its free to download and play, after an hour or so of skidding around on mud and doing flips I'm ranked 26th in the UK and 4th in Wales :) Enjoy!

Hi there I posted an earlier thread trying to find how I could get my girlfriends laptop back to life here I have the HDD out and plugged into my desktop (plugged into master on IDE cable) with use of an adapter thingy, however when I double click on it in my computer, the my computer freezes...

Hi there, Just need a quick bit of help, shut down my girlfriends laptop and now it won't boot. It gets to the black and white screen where it you get the choice of safe mode or start normally blahblahblah. Well, it won't boot whichever one is is selected. There is an HDD test in the BIOS and...

Hi all After seeing it flashing up in the advert reel on the side of the screen I'm still pretty interested in getting on. Anyone here got one or used one ? I'm looking at it for internet use etc and light typing and work on the train kind of thing. Might head for the 2 gig sized version to...
