I've dug-out my old n50 Nostromo gamepad for the PC and I'm trying to get used to it again... Anyone else use that or the newer n52 model? I've tried it on a few games of BF2 against the bots with mixed success, tbh. :o I guess more practice is required....! If anyone uses an n50 and has...

Tony, I use MD a fair too. I'll have a look at some part numbers in the morning for you. AMD are great, stable and powerful processors SO LONG as you give them decent cooling. Intel with their P4's (a bit like Heinz, in 57 varieties :clown: ) are arguably a lot better built are more resistant...

Ah, the joys of PC building! You'll probably have several suggestions on what's best, but personally, I like Asus & AMD combinations - even though I'm running an MSI mobo at the moment. This in mind, I think the best Asus board you can get is the following:-...

Actually saw my first view of a 360 today. Out doing some Chrimbo shopping in Bury and they had the full 360 setup in GameStation. Had the King Kong game on and two teenies looked like they were getting semi's on just playing it..... "Look at the f**king graphics, just look at the fooking...

Nope - an engineer for the entire duration of the game. Sat in a T-90 tank for the most of it. Even the AT bots are numb as f**k! ;) Even when I did get hit, a quick jump-out and repair was usually all it took... A bit pissed that I didn't reach the ton mark though. D.

Toypop - the PlayStation was the most pirated console in history, yet Sony still made a bomb from it.... ;) Personally, I'm a PC man. You will never get a console person to see the appeal in the PC platform - regardless of how powerful a PC is or will get. I reformatted my PC for the first...

LOL - good time for me to pick a reformat whilst the login server was down! I tried it three times last night - once with the CM server, but they were full and the other two times - nothing. Just a prompt saying "Contacting login server" for about 10 minutes. I gave up and had a bash on single...

I haven't too many good stories of people getting them yet? Anyone got there's up and running yet? D.

Bad sh*t m8 - so sorry for you. I've always felt that the 182 was so sure-footed - you must have hit a really bad patch of water.... :dapprove: Posted the pic as per your request..... D.

They look the bollox - really, really good. :D Not sure how long the rims would stay in A1 condition though. Definite Kerb-Fodder! :eek: D.

Which way did you come from HB? Down through Tod and past Walsden? Or did you go the LONG way round? Good pics, btw! D.

Hollingworth Lake? You're not too far from me m8 :) D.

Wonder how many kids are going to be pissed off come Xmas Day when mummy and daddy have bought them the shitty version? ;) D.

Dataplex did alright by us for the Birmingham depot we setup. They are based in Eccles too - so not far away. We didn't use wireless, but Cisco is a major part of their business. Our contact was Alex Preston - 0161 7867005 - website = www.dataplex-systems.com D.

Good site Lee :) The bit with Paris Hilton was especially funny - though it could have been better. Like showing her falling off a cliff or losing and argument with a combine harvester - something useful at least! ;) D.

I just don't get it at all... Not the 360 itself, but the fact that people that will go to stupid, stupid extremes to get one. I really like gaming, ever since I got my mitts on an original Atari console in 1980 - and I'm just as eager as everyone else to see how the 360 will perform when it...

Got the ITG in already. I don't want them grit-riddled feckers washing it either.... Hadn't thought about getting the oil myself, but I'm not sure if I can be arsed.... It's an expense I could really do without at this time of year! ;) D.

Cool - sounds good to me. Have you got preferences on a server? Will you be retrying the CM server again?

I'd love to increase my BB speed. Where we are, we can't get better than 512k and don't have access to cable either.... :( D.

Any takers? Any preferences on days and times? Assuming we don't have patch problems again though....! :rasp: D.

Nope - no kerbies on mine, though I do have a little scratch when I got too close once! It's just a habit from my GT days - within a year I'd have one wheel heading north while the other went east. A check on the tracking proved it to be out, a slight change and it was railroad straight. Well...

What? Without Vaseline......... again?! What's to bet that if they did check it, that it would need adjusting regardless?! D.

Good comment there edde. The wife's 182 has been a total biatch the last couple of weeks with the bloody alarm going off at all hours. Mine's been fine though? :S D.

Mornin' all As the title really - does a check of the car's tracking come part of a 12k service, or would it be extra? Cheers, D.

I 'acquired' it some time back. Thought it was quite good at the time, though I preferred the way Brothers in Arms handled the squad control side of things. I'll probably reinstall it at some point over Christmas... D.

Similarly, I find XnView to be superb. It's a free download too - www.xnview.com D.

Woodentop - when I saw that 1st picture of yours above m8, I thought that Vee had a bloody luggage box on the roof! :D :clown: Took me a 2nd look to work out it was the car & ramp in the background.... D.

It could be argued that the battery life on solid-state would be longer too?

Console driving games are no match for a decent PC alternative, imo. Don't get me wrong, I've played Burnout on the X-Box and really liked GT4 on the PS2 - but after about an hour, I start to get bored. For all their graphical flashiness, lighting and mirror effects, they just feel 'flat'. It's...

I wish someone would release a Chav-mod for games like this. Yes, we've all seen games with the Skylines, Porsches, Ferraris, etc. How about winning a race, getting £100 and buying a fooked Nova GTE? Then tailoring it with tasteful addons like spoilers, s**t alloys and "Shazza & Wayne-o"...
