That's still impressive though m8 - regardless of how long it's been on. My i7 is in the low 50's C and has a bloody big Noctua HS&F dumped on top of it. ;)

Another one from me (even though no one's got my original one yet :))......
I pumped hour after hour into this. Completed it several times on the hardest difficulty and read the manual from cover to cover - back in the days when we had real manuals.
Sh1t like this just isn't made any more...
Does seem a little hot that Chris - given that you say it's constant at that. Jain's MacBook with the older Core 2 Duo doesn't get anywhere near that hot, imo. My work's HP Centrino-based laptop could however make a full English if I left it on for an hour in the morning.

I'll give you a hint on mine - it had the word 'Master' in the title.....
Oh, and if anyone gets the one below, I will be thoroughly impressed! Looking at circa 1992 or thereabouts for this....

Pretty damn impressive for a MacBook to be running an i7 and having decent battery life.
How does it handle the bane of all Apple users apparently - the noise? Must have some impressive cooling on there - either that, or it drops it CPU clock speed at every given opportunity?

Totally agree. That's why I preferred the 6 or 7 (can't remember exactly) different classes of BF1942 and BF2 over the 4 we see in more recent games. Make each have a specific 'bonus' for choosing it - rather than the super-kits that can be achieved.
On the helos and planes, I really liked that...
^^^ - well said, that man! I'd like to add loads more options, but I'd be pushing the whole BF playing formula more down a simulation route and probably destroy what makes it so good. That said, I'd like to see a wider range of character classes like the older BF games and also insist that the...
I never completed it! It seemed to go well at the start and then the difficulty really did ramp up. I actually preferred the follow-up - Terror from the Deep, but after that the series started to wain imo.
Definitely one that should be given a new lease of life!

It's a good no-brainer shooter, Royston. Non-to-cerebral and probably not that long (though I've yet to finish it). Check out some of the sniping here on the consoles....
It's MUCH easier and precise with K&M! Not a single headshot in that clip - tsch! ;)

Is that the original X-Com : Enemy Unknown? I was going to say Laser Squad (the grand-daddy of them all) but the graphics are much more up-to-date in that pic. :)
Not quite m8 - it wasn't actually a Sid Meier game this....

As per usual, Ant's on form with his Evo Crack Habit - looks awesome! :cool:
I'm normally a BIG advocate of black alloys. But those whities up front definitely look the part. Surely a man of your means could have two sets - one of each colour? ;)

Yep, pretty much identical. I've used DVI on my PC for years - massively superior than basic VGA. But I wish I'd stumped up the extra £20 or so and got my Iiyama monitor with the additional HDMI connector - simply to connect the 360 Bookend into it as well.
HDMI audio on monitors/screen circa...
