Hi, I have been looking everywhere for an answer to this problem but have hit a bit of a brick wall. Ultimately, I am looking for mini PC, that does not run Windows, that can run both Openelec and Netflix. I also need Netflix to output 5.1 sound and I also want to be able to use Hola to...

Hi there. I have been given a mATX motherboard bundle (MSI H67MA-E35-B3 Socket 1155, i3-2105, 2X4GB RAM) by my brother recently and I was hoping to use this to create a small Linux-based Desktop PC for my study. I was thinking of this tiny case...

I have just done a googleshopping search and I have found that the TF101 is currently selling for only a little less than $400. When did you buy your tablet? It seems that the price of this thing is going up rather than down - I looked at one of these a few months back. I cannot remember...

Hi, I am on the lookout for a 10" android based tablet and am not sure which one to go for. I am currently looking at the 32GB Asus Transformer (not the Prime, the original), which I can get in the UK for about £350 (about $555 at the moment). I do not intend to get the keyboard dock...

Thanks very much for everyone's help with this. So this is only a problem with Blu Rays? I actually have a i3-2120 in my desktop computer, so I guess the best thing to do is actually watch a Blu Ray on it and see if I notice the difference. You are absolutely right about this thread having been...

I am not sure I really understand the difference between video and graphics output. In what circumstances would the 24fps of HD2000 graphics cause a judder to video?

Hi, I am thinking of building a small Sandy Bridge-based HTPC but the one thing that is putting me off is the issue over the onboard graphics not being able to handle 23.976fps. There is so much on the web about this being a problem but not much on people with first-hand experience. 1...

Hi there, I was thinking of adding a few extra hard drives into my HTPC/Server as I am running out of room. However, I already have three in there and I don't want things to get to hot an noisy. I know that I could have the hard drives spin down after a set amount of time but as the...

Just one last bit of advice before I start buying bits - Is it advisable to buy the cheap RAM that I have gone for? It has got some good reviews on the site I am going to buy from. Is there really going to be any difference for me, someone that its going to be doing no overclocking...

Thank you both for that - much appreciated. Are there any other changes/suggestions you might make to my proposed build before I buy the parts?

1)What will you be doing with this PC? Gaming? Photoshop? Web browsing? Etc Basic video editing/Transcoding, photo editing, web browsing, music production (CUBASE) 2) What's your budget? Are tax and shipping included? £350 – about $570 at the moment, including tax and shipping 3) Where do...

Thanks for that - I agree that it is probably not worth trying to try and buy anything to use it as something else later as there is always something better round the corner - the nature of the beast that is computing. I am tempted just to get a really cheap AMD Motherboard/CPU (will still be...

Hello, I am just about to build a new low spec sandy bridge build to replace my old desktop computer. I plan on eventually putting the proposed CPU/RAM/Motherboard in a server and buying a more powerful Ivy Bridge CPU and Motherboard to put in the desktop later next year (this is why I...
