    Spec me an AV setup

    I think setting up all this on one PC is going to be difficult, not impossible, but just a lot harder than using separate devices and a shared network drive.

    Trade floor workers, what video cards?

    In my experience the ATI 2400 range was popular with trade floors and good value for money. http://www.amd.com/us/products/workstation/graphics/ati-firemv-2d/2400-pcie/Pages/2400-pcie.aspx

    Grey Kit - Anyone got any horror stories?

    Exactly :P (Just kidding) I heard a few at work from people who were obviously biased and wanted to know what other people's experiences were. Don't sell enough Cisco to worry about smartnet anyway!

    Cisco or ProCurve?

    I work for a Cisco and HP Gold Partner so we supply both, Cisco is by far the most popular in the enterprise space and surprisingly in the mid-market too. I think the wide availability in the channel of Cisco parts helps as people like kit to arrive quickly after getting project work signed...

    PX80B alternatives...

    I got the 82, which is the 1080p version (42") and realised what a waste it was when all the HD content I use is 720p anyway. Sky and V+ are both 720p and the Xbox 360 does everything at 720p apparently then upscales it before output. Only Blueray and *some* PS3 games will put you in a...

    Switchable surround sound setup

    I'm guessing you're monitor at the back is a pc? Route the audio through the PC and use some software to flip the 'output' on the speakers when you're using the pc and just do pass through when you're watching the plasma.

    So I've won a Porsche 911 for August...

    They've got me doing a days advanced driving course the day I pick it up, hour or so of theory and then most of the day with an instructor! The other folks who've won it before said the training day is great (on a sat though!) (The company owns the car and gives it out every month)...

    So I've won a Porsche 911 for August...

    Hey folks, I'm 22 and in my first job and thanks to great customer satisfaction I've ended up winning a Porsche 911 for a month! I'm waiting to get more details about engine size etc but I know it's done around 30,000 miles and is the older style 2004 model (before they seperated the...

    Extremely mysterious pc issuse! got any ideas?

    Where in London are you? I don't mind helping you get to the bottom of the problem using my components. Sounds to me like you need to try a decent power supply in the machine.

    Challenge - Find a Laptop with both serial and Parallel

    Hi guys, Thought I'd set you a challenge as I'm pulling my hair out over this. I need to find some laptops with both serial and Parallel ports. They must be native and adding them via a docking station with duct tape dosn't count. The machines must be new. Have both serial and Parallel...
