    Newcomer to SFF, need advice

    My girlfriend is going to uni in a couple of months and was thinking about getting a laptop, mainly cos she needed a computer that didn't take up too much space and would be too hard to take with her. But after seeing the problems I've had with my lappy (overheating, inability to upgrade...

    window mod ammo 533

    I've got a 533 (great case!) and if your new to window moding, the easiest start would be to simply replace the mesh with acrylic. Buy some acrylic just smaller than the side panel. Then use an allen key to unscrew the mesh panels. Measure up the screw holes and mark them on the acrylic, drill...

    The single best gaming memory I have is staying up till 4 in the morning, fueled by coffee, playing the hacking sim Uplink. I loved that game, must have played it at least half a dozen times since it was released (playing it again atm actually) There's nothing like the sound of the 'man'...

    New Mac Advertising Campaign, Deja Vu?

    Back onto the topic of the Mac adverts, I have to say their approach is rather, well, confusing at best. One of them has the 'PC Guy' holding a sign saying 'I was made for the office' and the 'Mac Guy' holding one saying 'I was made for the home' I don't see how that is true. On my Girlfriends...

    New Mac Advertising Campaign, Deja Vu?

    "...It's targeted towards the average idiot who compulsively clicks on things like the flashing banner ads on myspace. These people are mentally and physically incapable of keeping their computer virus-free and in decent condition..." What can I say, Ctrl + Alt + De; is the bastion of...

    New Mac Advertising Campaign, Deja Vu?

    Has anyone here seen the new campaign advertising the benifits of using a Mac over a PC? The posters have just gone up in bus shelters and on the sides of buildings in my area and, as a firm PC user who sometimes has to endure using a Mac, i think they're laughable. For example, this one...

    Replacing Hard Drive

    Hi there. I'm thinking of replacing my current 80Gb IDE secondary drive, which is used primarily for large file storage with a 200Gb SATA drive. This wouldn't be a challange for me. But then something occured to me. If I'm getting a SATA drive, which is faster than IDE, shouldn't I be using it...

    Hard Drive Isolation Method

    I did think about a USB drive enclosure, along with getting a removable HDD. But that worked out as more expensive. I'm on a tight budget and thought it would be a great use for a switch I recently won off ebay (search for 140031990365). As I only have one switch, would it be better to put it in...

    Hard Drive Isolation Method

    High there. I've had an idea, but I'm not sure how valid or sensible it is. Basically, I had a secondary HDD on my computer, just for back ups in case of a crash of virus. Now it was working fine, i was backing up regulary. But then the dreaded happened. I got a virus, but even though I hadn't...
