My first DSLR was a Canon 300D, still got it as a backup. Some shots taken with it using very expensive glass. The camera is not the most important part of the equation, what you stick on the front of it will have the biggest impact, but if you're just starting out I wouldn't worry...

Saw this on Dabs.com, anyone tried it? any good? or a load of old cak?

Western Digital make some 6gb/s hard drives, the missus has one in her machine and Crucial make some 6gb/s SSD's as well. The WD drives are expensive and the SSD's would double the national debt of a small country. But if it's mental performing hard drives you want check this out, you'd have...

Stick a screwdriver in the aerial socket, worked for me - true story.

Born in'tuddersfield and live in that Bratfud, that makes me double hard apparently ;) I had a spell in the sarf eeeeest - was full of pansies that drank white wine and thought mens bottoms were designed to be penetrated.

I rang up Plusnet once and threatened to drive to Sheffield and kill everything that moved because my connection dropped and wouldn't come back on in the middle of a raid. I often scream at randoms in PUG's if they're acting like noobs.

Have you tried hitting it?

6 monitor eyefinity is a distinct possibility with that card and my favourite MMO, and it's listed as supporting 5760x2160, hubba hubba hubba, 3 1/2 grand should just about cover it :) the missus would go f**king mental mind, then again she's getting a new washing machine this week so surely...

I'd say they were pretty damn good for a first effort, some really good shots in there, I like how you've not made the mistake a lot do of trying to get the subject dead central in your pictures. Liking the depth of field as well, again a lot of people get hung up on having every inch of a shot...

I had something similar, youtube videos would only play if I moved the mouse, went to chrome in the end.

It's malware, your validation didn't involve providing card/bank account by any chance did it?

Sounds like either a virus or some tool messing with remote assistance - have you got that switched off? - from memory the dimwits at microshat have it turned on by default, that said I recall someone at work saying pretty much the same thing as you last week, but trying to explain remote...

Gorgeous, had a quick shufty on the web to look for a RHD model & prices, found this one - nice motor - 15 grand!! sack that.

I've got a reasonable amount of home-made explosives stored away - fancy sending its ass to x-box heaven and videoing it?

^^ What he said, try reading this article, might be of help.

Absolutely perfect mate, thats the whole point of e-ink, it's a non radiant/non reflective screen that looks very matt, I've tried using it when the sun's shining, sat it alongside a laptop with a glossy screen and was still easily readable when the laptop was as good as useless.

If you're after retro phones try here mate, shed loads of really old stuff there.

I'd love to take that into a field with a big can of petrol ;) why? WHY?

They must have got stocks back in recently, the wife's arrived yesterday as well, pretty impressed with it, set it up to use wifi here, go onto Amazon and order a book (lots and lots of free ones to be had from Amazon) and in seconds it's downloaded. Being a tight get I downloaded kindle for...

Nokia 101, took 12 hours to charge up with about 20 minutes talk time, got it in 1992 - analogue yo!

Word of warning with pcspecialist, yes they are cheap but they're slow as f**k, we've bought from them twice, took 5 1/2 weeks with one machine, other was on time but had dead memory in it, went over to exchange the ram myself to find them in some crappy little unit that looked more like a...

So does OSX overcome the fact that it's technically inferior in every aspect at the same price level? that's a neat trick, Jobs must be some kind of magician.

Yeah if you go down the route of buying one to fit in with the perceived 'cool kids' on some crappy forum - that's not aimed at you by the way, just thought i'd make that clear :) oh and whats wrong with 2" thick? the missus reckons thicker is better - no idea what she means, in fact come to...

My bad, yes you can indeed get an i7, which makes it even pricier, as for taking double storage over SSD, not being funny chief but have you seen the performance difference? it's massive, I was a tight arse and went 7,200rpm SATA originally, swapping to SSD made the thing go like stink.

Ok lets spec up a 15" crapbook with an i7 620 (oh the 15" crapbook only goes to i5), 1920x1080 - (oh the 15" crapbook only goes to1680x1050) WLED screen, GTX 260M (doesn't mention what gfx card it has - wonder why), 256gb SSD, 4gb 1333Mhz ram (oh the 15" crapbook only has 1066Mhz) and see what...

Lol, upside of that though is that you can never use the 'you're a pauper buying a pc' line again :rasp:

I bought a poked up version of this a few weeks back, it'll piss all over a crapbook. Glowing keyboard? how about glowing in any of 20 different colours :rasp:

I've finally caught up (about 4 years too late) with the rest of the world and got Crysis, looks the nadgers on the lappy at work, manager wasn't best pleased - er Paul, what's that, it's a laptop dimwit I thought even you could spot that, should you be playing games at work, it's my lunchbreak...

Hmm sounds great, just add this baby as well and we're on to a winner :) http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Electric-Intake-Turbo-Supercharger-Renault-Opel-Citroen-/150489041284?pt=UK_CarsParts_Vehicles_CarParts_SM&hash=item2309d88984 Reported benefits are Increased Horsepower (Kilowatts for my non US...

Looks decent but I can't justify swapping from the 30D, don't even use that enough. If I blow any more on gear it'll be more glass most likely.
