Do you know if you could get it with a NTL internet line but no NTL TV?

Haha me too As for hitting people - I've never really needed to.

You have to put identical drives in RAID, so you can't do it with the raptor and a big drive. One raptor will be big enough for all your programs and virtual memory, and use the other one for storage etc. Apparently there's a 142GB version of the raptor coming out soon, not sure when though. Although you probably won't need it anyway. 600 times? No way. The advantage of RAID 0 is debateable anyway, especially in seek times which is what's gonna be important for your operating system and editing stuff. A 6800 is a pretty hardcore card. Not sure on the price, but it's gonna be around £150 depending on the exact model. That would be good for games, but you can certainly save £100 here. But like Currie said it might be a shame to have a very fast computer that is crap for games. But if you really will never game on it, there's no point. Samsung monitors are supposed to be good. Maybe you should think about a big one though, or possibly two? DVD copiers - The thing with DVDs is that you can't really just copy a DVD from one you've bought in a shop straight to a blank one. You really need to copy it to the PC first and then burn it. I get on fine with just one drive. You certainly don't need two burners, although one burner and one DVD-ROM might be useful. And for the sake of £12 it's probably worth it. Copying CDs you can just copy direct from one to the other, so if you do that a lot then definitely get 2 drives. Unless you're gonna overclock or you need a super-quiet PC, I wouldn't change the cooling. There's no need. The cooling that comes with the CPU (make sure you get the retail version, not the OEM) is perfectly adequate. And you shouldn't need extra fans really, but they will help keep it cool. Not sure where you heard that from, raptors are renowned for being noisy bastards. But I wouldn't worry about it too much - Your other fans will be far noisier For the record, Seagate drives are supposed to be the quietest, but like I say it doesn't really matter. I'm stopping there now

How did you do that?

Recorded doesn't help the buyer though, really.

Danny posted the old site. For some reasons there are two sites, and no link from one to the other. Anyway, you need to head over to free.grisoft.com, where you will find AVG free.

Yeah, D50s are good by most people's reckoning and Jessops have a good price on them, so why not? However I don't know how well it will hold its value - DSLRs are probably in for a bit of a price crash this year.

Try VLC - It's good and it'll play just about anything

Changing the firmware/debranding is the same thing. I imagine you can do that on Motorolas, you certainly can on Nokia and Sony Ericsson phones.

That was cool as plenty of other people have said. But yeah, definitely do the DVD thing. Split it up, make a basic menu (iDVD) and sell copies for £3 each that will play anywhere. You can put me down for one

Well no, not directly. However, with the data cable and unlocking software you should also be able to flash the firmware to some other (non-vodaphone) firmware. That should work

Yeah, as long as you have a decent aerial. If you don't, I wouldn't bother. Having said that, I don't really watch anything on digital anyway. Occasionally news24.

WMV videos looks shit to me though, exporting as avi and then re-encoding (like Rowan said) is great. And it doesn't have to be DivX, it can be just MPEG2 or something. MUCH better than wmv, although it's slightly more effort on your part. It's all HERE, but the pics don't work, so some of it is HERE.

Can you make a streetier Zoot please?

Noooo, climbing shoes would be rubbish! If you'd ever worn a pair, you'd know that are waaay to stiff and uncomfortable to ride in. Plus when you bailed they would be painful because they are so stiff. Also I think pedals would rip through the rubber really easily. Ballet shoes might be worse, but apart from that I think climbing shoes would be about the worst thing you can use

Doesn't really matter, but obviously the quality goes up and the file size goes up. So pick one that makes it about the size you want. The higher the better really. But check out the encoding guide in sites, vids and pics. That works a treat

Mark, any chance of whittling them down into ones that are finished and even good?

Well you could have just attached the zip file to the post, but heh. I finished TdN4XTRM a while ago, although in stages. To do it all in one go would be pretty insane

Leeson carbon seat? Ti rails. Pretty pimp, but it's really hard so you can't really sit down. Oh, and it's £70 or something. Oh well.

Post the levels up Marky, go go go.

I like my songs to have a tune, not intricate timing alone. They were very tight and professional I guess, but that doesn't mean anything if your songs are rubbish. I guess they aren't rubbish to everyone though.

That's how they avoid copyright infringement

Short. Low chainstays suck. You're right, £60 is only £60 and it won't matter too much if it snaps, but you could get something better I reckon. A Base TA26 will be 10x better than a T-Raptor and not much more expensive. Or maybe you could look at a second-hand old Levelboss. They will most likely be a bit more expensive (more like £100) but will not ever snap. Which makes £60 for a frame that will snap seem pretty expensive.

Adam's been on holiday for a week, so that's why you've not been getting a reply They are usually pretty prompt with email and stuff, but phone is always more reliable. They are very friendly so you shouldn't be shy! Already who?

Get a front disc! And then you'll have an amazing front brake and you won't have to change forks. And of course change the sprocket.
