RE: Projectors from PCWorld? Any good?
Richersounds have a Sony for a grand and a Marantz for £1250 - I got a 6 foot screen from qxl.com for £50, so don`t worry too much about the "free" screen.
RE: Memory Upgrade, How difficult can it be?
The Compaq will undoubtedly need proprietary RAM i.e. not generic Crucial stuff.
RE: How much council tax are you being charged?
Was £2250 last year in Edinburgh. Presume its gone up a bit. Dunno which band I`m in. I `d rather empty my own bins and carry a maglite, cos that`s all I get for it.
RE: Car Tyres - 195/60 R15 88H - What does it all mean?
I can recommend mytyres.net - got some Pirelli 215/45s for £70 cheaper each than quack fit were quoting!! They got air-freighted in from Germany the next day - superb!
RE: Subwoofer hum
Try moving the plugs around - I had an awful mains hum from my last sub. Cured by plugging all the amps into the same 4-gang extension.
RE: Drink up! Case of wine half price - £100 > £50
Nice one - just ordered it - you get a further £20 voucher when you make the order. It`s £4.99 p&p.
RE: Cleanup language for British TV
I feckin love swearing me. It is both big AND clever.
Nudity is another matter - I just won`t stand for that. (usually lie down)

RE: Toslink Cables
I`ve got a spare 3m QED qunos cable if anyones interested £15. Cost £30.
RE: Record from Graphics Card
I would say this is a TV-out not a TV in so no is the answer.
You need a capture card to get stuff in to the PC, but this would be limited to video - I don`t know of a PC on the planet which could capture the amount of data chcuked out by a DVD.

RE: buildin a pc
Not so sure it`s worth building your own anymore.
For £599 + VAT I just ordered a Dell with:
1.5Ghz P4 chip
256Mb rambus memory
Cd rom
16 x CD writer
40 Gb HD
32Mb GeForce 2(ok this was an extra £30)
and wait for it.........
a 19`` monitor.
Beat that with a bag of bits......... plus it will all be tested properly by Dell for integration and reliability.........
You also get a copy of ME and Norton anti-virus.
RE: Beastie Boys Anthology - Criterion - approx £14 !
Got it from Movietyme a while back for £16.50 -
Having seen it I`d pay £50 for it - it`s the best thing I`ve ever bought...
Every time I get the projector going the b-boys go on, It`s mental having them truly life size in your own living room, the mixes of Alive are probably my faves.
Kick it ... nah nah nah nah - nah nah nah nah...........
RE: Baraka - heard of it......?
Don`t think it`s been on telly. It`s just been released on R2 as well. Play have it.
I also got Chronos which is also by Ron Fricke - not as good, just buildings - no people, but the helicopter ride through the Grand Canyon nearly makes up for it...
Baraka - heard of it......?
This is my fave film ever. It`s a 70mm visuals film man.
It`s a tour of the wonders of the world with a big feck off movie camera, and took 4 years to make.
Lots of time lapse stuff, sunrise over Pyramids, Grand Canyon, Whirling dervishes, that sort of thing...... truly awesome.
Get it from movietyme for £14.
This is a must have in any collection and is my favourite film.
REAL film - not hollywood pish......
RE: Movietyme what`s going wrong
Every order I`ve made with them has gone wrong somehow, but they all made it eventually!
They are, however, the best for unusual discs e.g. I buy lots of Imax type movies and they are the cheapest by miles and often the only stockist.
RE: Deliveries stolen at post office
Rattus - Play send their stuff registered - so why are you signing for an empty jiffy bag?
RE: Trailers for Dolby, DTS, THX, etc.
Westy - I do want to !!
Had a look on DTSonline - the only sampler I could see is Demo disc 4 which looks a bit crap - samples from -the Eagles - Roy Orbison , Sheryl Crow !! and Saving Private Ryan etc.
Anywhere else you can get these..?
Some of the merchandise was pretty tempting tho.
RE: DVDimport: Dead??????
Got my Leon on Saturday. Took about 10 days in all.
RE: Where is best place to buy RGB SCART?
Also try maplins.co.uk
RE: Suspicious CD player......
CDs don`t crackle if they`re scratched, they just jump.
It sounds more like an electrical problem to me. Try a new lead, try it further away from your surround amp etc. Does it work ok connected to another hi-fi - if it does then it must be interference.
RE: Any info on A Knights Tale
If your DVD has a remote control hack , then at worst all you will have to do is set it to be Region 1 and it will work.
RE: Terry Gilliam`s Time Bandits (Criterion) R1
Or you can get the standard version for £6 from dvdoo.dk and spend the other £19 on drugs or sweeties or whatever.
