I would need a pretty long cable with me not living with them. Besides, we already have a full HD tv and 360/blue ray at my house

Just a little something from my parents really, a computer game or some dvd's or something. Shall be looking to get them something pretty major though, i personally reckon they could do with a new full HD telly

Ha ha, yeah in that case don't bother with the 4000 series ati cards. I'm a strong believer in buying which card you think is nice at the time, then just letting it bottleneck as much as it wants until you get the system more balanced. Its not detrimental after all, but when you do get round to replacing other bits the difference is so much more

But seeing as screens are getting bigger these days and that not many people actually use 1280x1024 now the 4850's are the better in comparison. The gtx260 under-performed massively compared to what was expected of it. Hence the new revision being brought out in the next few weeks. Price:performance wise ATI are really dominating everything at the moment. The only exception being using dual monitors on vista 64bit (incurrs random crashes and driver stalls).

Really? Where'd you find that out then? http://www.anandtech.com/video/showdoc.aspx?i=3341&p=20 According to this, the 260 is around 10fps behind the 4850's

But its old tech though, the new ati 4000 series and the new nvidia 200 series are newer, with more efficient tech and they run better for similar/better prices.

Noooo, get a 4850 instead. I just got mine and its absolutely perfect for what i need. Plays crysis on all very high, dx10 at 28-35fps at 1280x1024. PLays everything else fully maxed out. I have: 3.2Ghz core 2 duo currently 4gb of ram as i robbed my housemates, soon to be 8gb though Vista ultimate 64 enermax liberty 500watt psu gigabyte ds3r HIS IceQ4 ATI 4850 creative X-FI gamer and the most important bit, a Microsoft/Razer HABU for headshotting all the kiddies decent speakers are the next must. Yamaha 5.1 have/Receiver with 100watts per channel and something like some KEF speakers to match it and a nice defined sub for good measure. Spent around £300 on the main tower last year and just spent £130 on this graphics card last week.

I guess worst case scenario is the drugs might help to stimulate and increase the size of your brain muscle. Which can only be a good thing for us as it'd be easier to read what your on about.

Sent him a pm with a link to this topic for you, also flagged it to the moderating team so they can keep an eye on it.

It so is, thats why we're here. Tom and danny sat down one day and thought... hmm, how can we really irritate a bunch of kids we don't know. How about favourtism and elitism? Yeah, sure! Seriously though, all joking aside theres nothing to argue about to be honest, and i really see no reason for this topic to have headed in this direction. Its a way that the forum is run and has been for ages. I always wondered what the senior member stuff was all about, i stuck around for a while (possibly not a socially good thing) and helped out when i could and one day i was a senior member. Its really all there is to it. We get to help out with suggestions and problems in our own little section thats direct, to the point and isn't filled with loads of stupid comments like "yeah, thats sick blud111!!1one" shortly followed by someone posting "in" or "+1". Aside from a few small perks, we're still the same old members we once were.

Oi, tis a bloody good topic that!

Ha ha, i thought about putting that one in there for some extra humour.

I'll get my fleshlight and have a look.

Ooh, is number 2 out then or just waiting for it to turn up on the dark seedy corners of the internet?

Toyota pick up and a shit load of fuel.

Ha ha, i like it. "So is there any sign of a forced entry?" "No, the f**kers even hoovered up and bleached the sides down when they left!" Good news is i got to the office and had a stern word with them about it, which allowed it to go from "its all long gone" to something more along the lines of "its in wheelie bins down the road i'll drive you there now". Most of the stuff was poorly bagged in flimsy splitting bags and left in the wheelie bins. Good news is i have a large amount of it back... bad news is a lot of it was covered in shit or missing. We're going to the CAB tomorrow as i have to see a tutor at uni today and the CAB thing is supposed to be over half an hour for an initial interview. I've been pointed to this, which states that they most definitely aren't legally allowed to do that. So we'll have to wait to go to CAB tomorrow and find out where we stand. The landlord itself was a company called clubeasy, supposedly as well known and reliable company that owns loads of houses nationwide. The contract was as breezily lame as soemthing a child could have written. Doesn't cover anything about what happens after the tenancy is complete or leftover possessions. Fun times. I've had a brief look but with no sleep all night and tiredness setting in my brain is just seeing it as a mis-arranged dictionary.

I've currently had a years tenancy with a company that specialise in student accommodation. It was a 52 week let, that commenced as of the 21st of september and as far as i was aware, ended on the same day a year later. I went to collect the remainder of my things from the house this evening in what i thought was the last day and they were all gone and the house is completely spotless. Having gone in a bit of a rampage tonight i read through the brief contract thoroughly and it doesn't state anywhere that the property must be devoid of belongings after the tenancy has expired. There is a little section on the website though here that stipulates that they will discard all stuff that's left in the house and will charge me for the privilege of doing so. Luckily i had most of my stuff out, but unfortunately there was still around £300-400 worth of my belongings in there, largely in the form of clothes and my expensive clothes and suits/shirts. My personal details were in there including bank documents and personal details as well as a variety of my own paintings and mounted large print photographs. Dvd's, computer software and even processors/sticks of ram etc . Now the office itself is closed all weekend, which means i had no chance to contact them on the saturday to let them know my parents couldn't bring the car over till sunday evening. I had no phone calls or emails to let me know they were going to do this, despite them having correct and current details. Is there any legal ground that i have to stand on with this? Especially given the fact that i had no warning from them. Is this theft?

Did you have several different types of postage available in the listing or just the one you sent it with? If the buyer has specifically chosen the cheapest option or has not paid for "optional insurance", then in a handful of cases paypal will side with the seller. Just thought it might be worth noting.

Been waiting till i get my new speakers so i can do my first listen some real justice.

Good incentive though mate.

Seriously guys, its not that good. Except for all the girls, the comfy smokers lounge with old leather chairs and the bar with an open tab in the corner of the sub-forum. And the slippers we get given to us

Please don't say tenby.

I would say the same also, but my plans for next year are currently undetermined. Kinda failed the re-take thing by 4 marks. Fookin c**ts on the art department i swear.

37"? Meh, my student house has a 46" full hd jobby £50 a week with 3 of us. I have a large room 12' x 16' and the others have 2 rooms each. Literally in the middle of town.

Do you actually know what your on about when you write these things or just fill in the blanks with what you think sounds about right and use that as evidence to say its irritating. Theres been the old style t-rex, and then the new one. Thats it. The F.A.Q. section is a good place to look up old things or things that don't ever change, like how to bleed a maggie. If it irritates you just don't go in there?
