It's easy. Put that together, install MCE, share your p**n and music from your big computer and bob's your uncle and *****'s got Chlamydia. And maybe get an external sound card if you've got a big HT sound system.

I'll buy a pint to anyone that can tell me why CD read speeds have stalled at 52x (with only one drive ever making 60x)...

It can because it's not the same technology. The fact of the matter is, no matter how much we've changed the interconnects, we're still facing the same drawback. We're spinning a sheet of metal around at 5400-10000rpm tops in home pcs to read data off which is also fragmented. A HD-DVD is...

Aw, poor you with your inferior blacks.

You've obviously gotten yourself very tied up in your pub knowledge - my whole post at the top of this thread (which you need to read again) suggested two very good boxes which are not of the sort of caliber you're insinuating that I suggested. You brought HD into this, and I pointed out that...

My TV will show a 1920x1080 resolution as well, but what I'm saying is the native resolution of the panels are only 1024x768. The TV processes the signal down to fit, because the pixels are rectangular. My Xbox also shows me the same screens, and guess what? So does my 6600 based HTPC, as...

Wow, isn't your penis so much bigger. There's a rack of 30 near identical spec blades sat next to me, maybe I should use them?? I'm talking about ENCODING because he wants to watch it on his TV, not watch his TV on his computer. Unless he has a HD source, then he won't be decoding jack. So...

There's also the issue that 99.99% of 'HD' displays, including LCDs and Plasmas, are only 1024x768 panels. Only the 5k Pioneer job is a true 1920 pixels wide.

There's a difference between decode and encode. There's only one HD input card on the market at the moment, and that's the Blackmagic, which they've also confessed is going to need a huge amount of processing throughput to record/pause HDTV. Any further questions? Adobe PremierePro sysreqs...

2 points contradict this: a) Managers don't have to be able to do - very rarely is a good manager also good at what his team does. However in the least offensive way possible, I find that in the retail sector the title Manager is usually dished out to people who have been there too long...

If you want it to process 1080p, then get a mac. Only the Intel CoreQuadro Extreme has anything approaching what you need processing wise for it, and you also need an 8-disc SATA-II RAID-5 array or a decent U320 SCSI RAID array to be able to throughput the necessary data for uncompressed HD...

10" bigger?

If you want a Media PC, chuck us a PM with what you want from it, I'll tell you what to order from where and sling us £50 I'll put it together and build it for you...

Lap Tab are fantastic - half day turnaround for my wheels on my old Smart Roadster - they came back gleaming:

Good luck is all I can say. I'm 21, 4 years NCB in a low risk (B) area and parked on a private driveway, and I'm paying £1300 (after transferring policy from my last car).

Tips for a better shine? Use Meguiars - but that's not come up too shabby!

Driving is a privelege, not a right. If you can't afford to, then don't. Because be damned sure I work rediculous hours to pay for my driving! (£1200 in my own name, with 4yrs NCB!)
