Hi all, I'm looking to upgrade my desktop for the first time in far too long, and was wondering if anyone had any thoughts? Budget of about £1000, give or take. I've been looking at the OC range and I wondered what folks thought of : 1) Liberator x6 @ 3.5ghz, Win 8, 16gb ram, 250gb Evo SSD...

Hi all, I've just taken delivery of a new Acer S243HL 24" monitor, ahead of rebuilding my PC. Currently using an old Radeon X800 GTO graphics card, and I've connected the monitor using the DSUB connector (as the ancient card doesn't have HDMI!). However I cant seem to get XP to recognise that...

I think I'm with you on this one Feek, I might plug it in and leave it overnight - still got to set myself up with an iTunes account yet, so no doubt that will keep me busy for hours :p They have also sent me a new sim - if i stick that in the phone tomorrow morning, I take it some mystical...

Hi all, my new iPhone 3GS has just arrived, and before I put in the new SIM card, I wondered if I needed to charge it for a few hours first? Or do they ship fully charged? Bit of a newbie question, but thought I'd best check - back in the day they always said charge them for hours before you get...

Thanks guys, I never thought about seeing if the Nokia application can export to some common file format - doh! Will give it a spin later on - still waiting for the nice DHL man to arrive with my shiny new phone :D

Can I ask a newbie question please folks - I'm having my 16gb iPhone 3gs delivered tomorrow, and I'm currently using a Nokia N95. Does anyone know of the best way to take all the contacts out of the Nokia, so I can import them into the iPhone? Thanks! :)

Echo that sentiment here - with my Z series Sony 40" TV and bluray player, I swapped the Sky HDMI cable back and forth between the player a few times - my other HDMI lead was £50 - and in a blind(ish!) test my mate couldn't tell the difference, and neither could I. So save your cash, and buy...

Unashamed bump here...I'm still struggling to know what to do! There must be some Sony experts reading who can help me burn my money on something decent?!

Having recently bought a Sony 40Z4500 screen and had Sky HD installed - pretty impressed so far, i must admit! - I'm looking to add some surround sound capability to my setup. One of the main criteria is that the speakers are unobtrusive - I don't need huge volume or anything, just sound that...

I was just going to ask exactly the same question as EffBee, as we've just bought a Sony Z series Bravia screen, and my son's Wii looks terrible on it using the supplied cable. Time to go buy a component cable methinks :-) Thanks for the help everyone.

Another vote for the Sony BDPS350 from me. Just got one yesterday, and through my Sony Bravia KDL-40Z4500 it seems to output a pretty impressive picture! Cant really comment on the sound, as I don't have a decent amp / speaker set-up, I'm just using the speakers on the TV, but all in all it...

Nice idea, especially the bit about the free trial...thanks! :D

So am I right in my assumption that there is no actual way of getting photoshop CS2 to edit the .cr2 files without the intermediate stage of converting them to another file format? I just wanted to double check, before I start banging my head against a brick wall...:p Adobe, you've got to love...

Thanks for that, I didn't know you could let Windows view raw files in that way! If I install that, does that mean photoshop will also be able to view them? I guess not - it feels like a bit of a forced upgrade, cos I really dont have any need to upgrade to CS3 or 4...:rolleyes:

Thanks for that - to be honest, I can live without the Bridge integration, I just wanted to avoid that middle stage of converting to .jpg before opening in PS. Its a pity that (as far as I can tell!) the latest version of Camera RAW wont allow CS2 to open .cr2 files from my 450D :mad:

Can I just check before I install the dreaded Canon software - will it act like Adobe Raw, and let me select the .cr2 file I want, then open it in Photoshop? Or will it force me to save it as a .jpg or similar file first, which I can then open in PS? Thanks for any assistance :)

Yes, I just didnt install DPP, I just put the camera drivers onto my PC. In the past I've always used Bridge / Adobe Raw to open the files, I was just wondering if I could maintain the Adobe workflow without having to use what I've often found to be horrible Canon software! I will investigate....:)

I've just bought a Canon 450D, and took a few test snaps of Warwick Castle today, seeing as I was down there for a meeting. So I got home, downloaded, and fired up Adobe Bridge (CS2) - and it wont open the raw .cr2 files. Is there an easy way around this - without shelling out for CS3 (or 4)...

Ooh, I cant find that on line! Is that offer something I'd have to trawl round the supermarkets to find? My little lad has been after this for the Wii for months, but at full price I declined his kind offer to buy it for him! But for £44.....tempting....:p

Hmm, I've just upgraded to v2, and now it doesnt seem to get a satellite fix!! Worked fine before. Fab upgrade...not!! :rolleyes:
