    Windows 7 pro upgrade version installation advice

    Hi, I've purchased a Microsoft Windows 7 Professional Upgrade - 64 bit via a student discount (£30!) a while ago but am only just getting around to installing. I'm currently on XP and will be using a new (clean) solid state HDD as my Win 7 drive and my current as a storage drive. As it's a...

    Free weights advice

    more a runner actually :P Mainly trying to just keep fit. Weedy at the moment. My current routine is a 5k run every other day with floor exercises on the off day (press ups, dips, crunches), this would give me something to add into this for a bit of variety. Find this much more convenient than...

    Free weights advice

    Hi, I'm looking to get my own set of free weights for training at home. http://direct.tesco.com/q/R.100-8600.aspx (not a competitor right?) Is there anything glaringly bad about these? Also the weights it says it comes with add up to 11Kg per bar (22kg in total), guess a typo...

    Can any geeks explain this?

    [Train] --spacer----- ==magnetic rail=== Cool then train (made of a superconductor at the bottom) with liquid nitrogen. The superconductor in effect mirrors the magnetic field from the magnet (like when you hold two magnets south to south they try to separate) but there is some memory in...

    Lian-Li V2100 +

    http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=SY-000-SY&groupid=701&catid=57&subcat=399 Would be good if you want more throughflow for the core components. In my V1000 (inverted ATX too) I've got a 120mm fan cable tied onto the back pulling air through my empty PCI slots, pulls all the...

    Sking/Snowboarding 09/10

    Courchevel is nice but expensive. Another option is "bride les bains", it's a 20 or so min gondala up to meribel where you can easily ski over to courchevel and it's very cheap to stay there. I don't do crazy stuff, and always in a group. I don't know why but i don't really seem to ever fall...

    Sking/Snowboarding 09/10

Not sure where yet, or if i'll ski or learn to board with my girlfriend! I've always hired gear, is it worth...

    Hybrid Bikes

    A hybrid will be quite a lot slower than a normal road bike, and poor traction compared to a mountain bike, unless your not wanting to do either that well i'd say specialise. I recently bought my first road bike, for a measly £150, it's not all that bad and a large improvement over a "normal"...

    Update. Unplugged the card reader (has no drivers) that the case came with and booted ok, UT3 now seems to be fixed. But my boot up time is very slow, spending ages on the splash screen.

    Case swap woes, help please

    Arrrg, all seemed so well. My graphics card was getting HOT (80 idle 105 in furmark) so i opened up and have cabled tied a fan blowing hot air out of the PCI slots (helping the GFX heatsink). This has solved the temperature problem. But i'm still getting stalling at the windows "splash screen"...

    FFXII worth a revisit?

    Hijack along similar lines: I played 10 back when I had a PS2. Now I’ve just got a wii, debating getting a DS lite/i. Which FF's are worth playing for the DS? In what order?
