Excellent - looks like a job well done! I'm sure Lee will be proud to see his ex-Trophy getting some decent TLC! :) D.

PMSL! All that hard-work and you still get shafted over. ;) D.

Brazo - get on Steam and download Defense Grid. There are a few DLCs for it too which are really enjoyable. The main game is only £6.99. D.

Should be good regarding the networking side of things, imo. I can't believe after all these years that a default standard network 'driver' isn't embedded into all motherboards. Even just a bobby-basic 10/100 driver - it doesn't have to be 1Gbps from the get go. The amount of times we...

There you go - problem solved with the cables.... ;) http://www.netgear.co.uk/powerline_wallplugged_extenders.php Got a pair myself at home as the PC is in the attic but the router is in the back bedroom. The only stipulation these powerline adapters need is that they require their own...

PMSL! - cheers pal! :rasp: D.

Definitely. I made the rather stupid leap of faith of ordering my 182 without ever having sat in a Clio. At 6ft 1", it's far from the most comfortable car I've ever been in - in fact I had some proper aching legs in the first few weeks of owning it. ;) I thought the bread-van Civic Type-R was a...

I'm always wary of passengers in the car with the door in winds. I had my passenger door creased (and essentially fecked) on my PGTT within a week of ownership. Some people care, others don't. The knack is knowing which ones hold onto your door - even in calm weather. I always do it as a...

I'd personally recommend pretty much any of the Draytek range - quality routers those.... http://www.draytek.co.uk/ Do you actually play online via wireless? It's awful - barely unplayable for the most part. I always preach that physically connecting via a cable is so much better. For an RTS...

Come on - you can't leave us guessing now. Whereabouts in Canada?? ;) D.

Yep - those are still pretty potent cards. Currently on two 4890's in Crossfire myself. Pretty much max anything recent out and it breezes along fine. F1 2010 is something else in the eye-candy stakes - especially in the rain. Looks a great build this Gareth - make sure you take plenty of pics...

Erm - yes. :approve: Jumped straight into single player and started as the Ottomans. Minding my own business, I built up a small empire of about 10 cities and got the workers grafting hard at the infrastructure. Then the fecking Persians decided to have a go - with no warning. He took two of my...

Does look good! I still think they are missing a trick with the characters in the L4D series. I think each character should have a 'perk' that the others haven't. Remember the old Gauntlet games, where one character was stronger, another faster, another had better defense, etc? I think they...

The randomness of BC2 - lol! Just had three games - in each I was doing appalling, easily dying double the amount of times I made a kill. The next and fourth round? Conquest on Atacama. Ended up finishing the round on 33/5 - of which two of those deaths were my own fault in going out and out...

Is it out?! :) D.

Bah - not good timing. :( We once had a Proliant PSU go at work, but rather than a small 'pop', it went 'BANG!'. Bits of capacitors and allsorts over the floor and a fair amount of grey smoke. What issues did you have with the Fata1ity card? Aside from issues when running on Windows Fista...

Fair point - they certainly aren't the cheapest things to buy. They are very well built however, so I'm hoping I'll have quite a few years left in mine yet. :) D.

Cheers Fred. Sounds like a garage job without that press then! With the right kit, is it a quick turnaround for a garage? Or is it quite time intensive? Cheers, D.

Absolutely the opposite m8! I've used the seperate gear shifter a few times - purely for novelty factor more than anything. I really liked using it for 'casual' drives like taking a Caterham out on the 'Ring in GTR Evo - ones where I'm not trying to set a decent time, but just get smooth lines...

Got a new front wheel bearing the other day (thanks again Chris! :)) and was thinking of swapping it over this coming weekend. Is it a straight-forward job and would I need to get the tracking looked at again afterwards? Would a replacment bearing even affect the tracking? (goddamn n00b! :o)...

I have a G25 at home m8 - linked to my PC. What is it you need to see specifically? I can take some pics if needed. Cheers, D.

My 3GS has learnt many words - it's a dream to text on compared to any other phone I have ever used. Only the iPad with it's larger keyboard was easier to use, imo. Using a Blackberry at work is deemed as a punishment to me. You have to have fingers the size of an ant's todger to press the keys...

PMSL! Do they simply ignore everything you say to solve it, then? D.

Hi Jamie, Welcome to the forum! Whereabouts in Lancashire are you based? :) D.

I have no idea on earth why Admiral does that? It was entirely my own fault (the less I have to go anywhere near car insurance, the better for me) - but all of last years policy was listed as Social Only. When I renewed last week, I asked them to verify and they said commuting wasn't covered -...

Conficker was a right fucker for us as well. Just when you think its gone, another random machine picks it up and distributes it on the network again. It took us around 2 weeks to fully get rid of it. :( D.

Oh - whereabouts in Canada?! :) :) D.

That seems a really common issue, Daz. I haven't tried Monaco in the dry yet, so maybe it's just the rain part of the game that causes that issue? D.

Oh dear. That's pretty bad.... :( D.

Weird - I've just had this too. Picked Monaco in heavy rain as Alonso in the Ferrari. Set it for a 3-lap race and it ran super-smooth. I expected with the graphics options set to Ultra that it would have struggled - especially at 1920x1200 - but it didn't. :) Anyways, tip-toeing around the...
