I’m only looking for stereo so I’ll take a look at the Fulla 3, thanks.

I've just upgraded to a B550-I ITX board and in the process failed to check it had an optical out. With my old PC I was using active Kef LSX speakers via optical along with a gaming headset (GSP 500) connected via the rear headphone/mic jack, and switching between outputs in windows when...

Is there any ETA on when these will be back in stock? (apologies if it's already mentioned somewhere)

If you want your headphones to stay in, you can get foam tip replacements for most brands from http://www.complyfoam.com (although not for Apple due to the shape). They squash down like an ear plug and expand into your ear canal for a snug fit. Not cheap at £15 for 3 pairs, but they last for...

The OP wants a "budget" hifi system - telling them they need to spend £200 minimum on a phono stage is BS. There are plenty of decent stereo amps you can buy 2nd hand for £50-100, some of which will include a phono stage. If not, you can pick up a Project Phono Box E for £50. If you want...

Also, if you bought them online within the last 14 days you should have the right to return for a full refund providing you kept all the packaging under distance selling regulations.

If you've bought feet, don't bother with the pads as well, use one or the other. Is it still overly bassy when you play another source through it (e.g. cd player, ipod / phone through aux input), or is it just the computer? Before you go spending any more money on trying to fix those speakers...

Failing that try the Auralex *MOPAD* - they're £24 not £70 odd, although they do feel similar to packing foam so might not help.

Actually before you try that, have a google for equalizer software for windows, there might be a system-wide app you can use to reduce the bass frequencies down to a reasonable level. *edit* Actually, my soundblaster drivers have an equalizer built in, I've just never had to use it so wasn't...

The granite won't help as it will just pass the vibrations through to the desk which is what you want to avoid. What kind of foam did you use? The audio stuff is pretty stiff and dense. It doesn't look like you can fit stands in, so if you have the option of returning those speakers and trying...

They're not really meant to sit on a desk, is there any way you can fit stands either side or slightly behind the desk? Try and keep them away from walls as well if you can. Failing that, you could try isolating them from the desk with some foam pads - google Auralex MoPad - sounds like a...

If you already know Linux then stick with Vagrant, saves messing around with the host system and possibly breaking something that will be a pain to recover from. If you break a guest VM then you can just throw it away and rebuild a fresh one in a few minutes. If you go for PHP then you can get...

Just buy the iMac and get a lovely bit of kit that will last 5+ years and a lot of browny points with the Mrs - if it goes wrong take it back to the Apple Store. There's not a huge amount to learn to be honest, OSX isn't all that different from Windows if you've got even a pinch of tech savvy...

They don't usually have a video out port. Usually you plug in power / network and then browse to the web admin page, like you would with a router.

If you're having problems streaming wirelessly to the TV from your PC, then it'll be due to poor wireless signal strength = low bandwidth. You'll almost certainly have the same issues trying to stream from a NAS via the same wireless connection. You probably want to identify whether it's the TV...

About 5 weeks.

Mine arrived on Wednesday (space gray, 1.3), my only concern so far is that the physical dimensions mean it doesn't quite feel like a "proper" laptop. I'm hoping this is a temporary feeling that will pass as I get used to it. With El Capitan on it the UX is buttery smooth already. Can't wait...

Avoid that tutorial, it's teaching bad habits. Read: http://www.phptherightway.com/#password_hashing and http://www.phptherightway.com/#pdo_extension instead.
