    say i purchase a hd lcd tv

    depends what you mean by old films and also it all depends how the film was shot. Bluray movies can be easily made from older films as they are taken from a source that it technically a higher resolution than bluray is anyway! take the matrix for instance, the first film, absolutely amazing in...

    Dell £99 server !! + vat

    be interested to know what you are buying there as there is not such server as a ML105 and thats too cheap for HP, their cheapest is a about £175 at the mo, so its either reconditioned or grey i'm guessing? *edit am guessing you mean ML115, still cheap at £100, thats cheaper than cost price.

    Dell £99 server !! + vat

    you sure they run windows, i'm an EMC systems engineer and I must say I have not come across that before. We are talking Clariion CX3 series aren't we? Regarding datacore, well if you want a cheap bodge job solution then i guess thats your choice but seriously, thats a lot of good marketing...

    Server rack cabeling nightmare !

    i've got to go through this jsut after christmas too when we redo our server room, new blades, SAN storage and UPS so everything needs doing as all the racks are also moving for our customer demo suite too, so unracking and re-racking all servers. To aid patch paneling on the cables we use a...

    Dell £99 server !! + vat

    LOL, a SAN is a bit more than that mate, you couldn't build one yourself, other wise its just a NAS. SAN uses a fabric, so FC switches and to plug into those you need FC controllers attached to disks and if you want a proper san they will be FC disks too so its FC all the way through. But then...

    we have lots of customers on blades without san mate, you can get 4 hot plug SAS drives in a blade, or use a storage blade that holds 6 drives or a NAS blade to share storage, lots of options to use blades without SAN!

    Nikon D40 or Canon 400D...?

    so what you are really saying is that you aren't clever enough to use a canon as they aren't built for children, (nikon being easy to understand and able to withstand being dropped by clumsy people) ;) At the end of the day though we are comparing Mercedes to BMW's, not skoda to Ferrari...

    Nikon D40 or Canon 400D...?

    i like the way my l series extends within the barrel and doesn't extend out the dront, plus the lens just feels good quality. If most of the pro's use them then they are good enough for me!

    Nikon D40 or Canon 400D...?

    at which point did i suggest i was a good photographer and make out that it was dowm to the L series? I presume you mean me as i'm the only one to mention them. The best picture i took was with the kit lens in the pooring rain and in the dark, sometimes photography can be right place right...

    So, this "Free PS3 / Laptop from AOL" deal...

    bad place to ask, MOFO has signed up for the PS3 deal and got a slating in another thread, you are likely to get the same but if you don't mind being with AOL its a great deal. Have a look at MOFO's thread for the arguments for and against.

    Nikon D40 or Canon 400D...?

    very few, just the kit lense, then 70-200 F4.0 L lens which is fantastic. to fill in the gap i then have a second hand 28-80 off ebay, bit of a bargain at about £30. I mainly use the kit and the L lens though, and you really can tell the difference between the L and non L lenses. I'd like...

    iTouch - Unlock?

    just using the touch screen, takes a bit to get used to it but it works. For the nes emulator it has the pictures of the dpad and 2 buttons on screen to press etc.

    Nikon D40 or Canon 400D...?

    damn right, hence why i haven't bought a new one for about a year now, too damned expensive but the one i have is perfect for most things i shoot anyway, just fancy one of those 50mm fixed lenses now to complete my collection.

    Nikon D40 or Canon 400D...?

    i'd go 400d too, if only just so i can use the canon luxury lenses, they are sooooooo good!

    iTouch - Unlock?

    i've got the nes emulator, the iphone apps, iphysics, GBA emulator, some games, summerboard and a few other things. its so much more than an mp3 player.

    Xbox 360 Wireless Adaptor - Only £29.99

    i bought a core with all the extras on launch day, luckily pcworld had it all in stock so i only paid RRP, I remember you trying to get one at the time though. Luckily I made my mondey back from paying the premium but selling the other premium i had on order that came a week later to my...

    Anyone on here running a unlocked iphone yet?

    so are you saying i could walk into CPW, buy an iPhone, then jailbreak it and use it on orange and not be tied to anything to do with o2?

    anyone miss the Aldi Medion PC ....

    that is the funny part, the R26 after your preaching about how it was the same as a cup, driven one properly now have we;) Thats one decision I won't argue with you on btw, that IS a weapon;) I agree, we'll stop now, i'm just watching the Prestige on my poor quality HD-DVD addon anyway, i'm...

    anyone miss the Aldi Medion PC ....

    lol, you can't let it lie can you, have to start on the insults. I never slated the pc, i said it was good value, i was questioning you slating the 360 comparing it saying it wouldn't be as good visually. How the hell was i supposed to know you use component and not vga, i'm not a mind reader...

    anyone miss the Aldi Medion PC ....

    look, told you, you always do this. its great value for money, i said that but you slating the 360's capabilities is just laughable, its a brilliant bit of kit and no different in quality to any other player, its also got optical out so thats what i'm using to my sony5.1 unit, good enough for...

    anyone miss the Aldi Medion PC ....

    lol, you always get so defensive and protective over anything you buy like its the only option and best choice, you always do it. I said it was a great buy but your facts to others are wrong. I edited my post after you did about your huge tv you have. 360's come with HDMI now so thats not the...

    anyone miss the Aldi Medion PC ....

    p.s. its not got a BD or HD-DVD writer, its just a reader, it only writes cd's and dvd's. BD writers are expensive, not even seen the price of a HD-DVD writer, plus, have you seent he price of the media! Its cheaper to buy a retail disc!

    anyone miss the Aldi Medion PC ....

    LOL, mate, do some research, without a dvd in the drive the hd-dvd is not that bad actually, granted its louder than my ps3 which is silent but not as bad as playing a dvd or game in the main drive. Its 1080p through VGA and also upscales. Unless you have a 42" 1080p screen you aren't going to...

    anyone miss the Aldi Medion PC ....

    lol, meggerman, the 360 is able to upscale and gives great HD-DVD playback, especially since the firmware is upgradable, its a weapon for a hundred notes! If i didn't have my ps3 and 360 with HD-DVD, i'd have been looking at one of these too but I have all i want, especially now the 360 is also...

    HDMI Cables? Best place to get them?

    Tom, you ever watched a CRT TV, say a 14" and then gone to a 32" and thought the picture wasn't as good? Having the same resolution on a screen thats smaller is always going to look better, hence why 1080p isn't noticeable over 32".
