    PCI-E X1 card

    Can anyone recommend a decent PCI-E X1 graphics card with DVI out? I want to run three monitors and I've only got 1 PCI-E X16 slot but a couple of spare X1 slots. Preferably nVidia based as I've already got a GTX 285. The only one I've found is a PNY Quadro NVS 290 256MB for £59.98...

    System doesn't boot

    It never has made any beeps, it wasn't supplied with an internal speaker. I'll have to see if I've got a spare one. Update: Found an internal speaker. With the OCZ PSU that's meant to be in the computer, no beeps and I've noticed that the phase LEDs on the motherboard stay on, 2 green, 1...

    System doesn't boot

    Ok, so I found an old PSU and tried using that. Powering on, the CPU fan did spin. I couldn't check if the system was booting as the old PSU doesn't have connectors for the graphics card. Looks like it's a problem with the PSU but wanted to make sure I'm not missing something before I start...

    System doesn't boot

    I've tried pulling the battery, no success after doing that. I've sprayed out any dust, there wasn't a huge amount. I've also disconnected all of the drives leaving just the RAM and graphics card.

    System doesn't boot

    I bought a Titan Thor system from ocuk in October last year (1 month out of warranty, damn) and last week it switched off while in use and wouldn't come back on. Opening it up I saw that when powered on the drives spin up and the case fans come on, but the CPU fan (Akasa Nero) just jerks but...

    PHP Exception Handling

    Exceptions will 'bubble up' until caught or until they reach the top of the call stack. Unless you want to deal with the problem in ClassTwo you don't need a try/catch block there.

    first php framework

    I won't go into detail but DatabaseFactory has a lot of extra connection creation related code which fits better in a separate class rather than bundle it in with the generic object factory. We have a lot of connections to different databases so we can't use static methods. To avoid...

    first php framework

    You could shorten it but to be honest I wouldn't. Leaving it like it is it keeps things descriptive and will make it easier to see what's going on when you come back to the code in the future. I'm frequently using code like...

    Android 2.2 Froyo FRF85 for Nexus One officially released

    I must admit I hadn't seen the recent announcement, only emails from their customer services which ranged from "it's coming but we don't know when" to "we're investigating the feasibility". Unfortunately I'll have to wait for Orange to update their version of the firmware before I get an ota...

    HTC will probably take ages to update the Desire to 2.2. In the mean time CyanogenMod6 will be available for the Desire fairly soon.

    OcUK, I'm confused and worried

    I bought a system not long ago and it was freezing up/blue screening quite frequently. RMA'd it and got a replacement within a week. It also froze up but after a bios update and newer graphics drivers it's been fine so far. The only issue now is that during the bios update I forgot to make a...
