thanks man, was hoping to delete too. Will take a look TM

Hey guys, I have a huge and nicely sorted photo library on my trusty NAS (QNAP). I'd like to be able to sit on my couch and browse through and delete duplicates etc. I don't want to sync things to my iPad, I want to remote view. I thought there would be millions of apps for this, so...

Hi all, not sure if this is possible, however are there any products that allow USB devices to be connected wirelessly? Trying to work on a home A/V setup, a touch monitor needs to connect to the base unit over USB. I cannot run a wire, so wondered if there are any dongles that work either...

Thanks All, this is what I am now buying. Cheers TM

Hi all, im looking to make a new system and have been out of the loop for some time. I understand that IvyBridge is the new intel King, are they the i5 or i7 processors (or both?) I'm doing a lot of software virtualisation so need something with some oomph, I want to go IvyBridge (I...

Hi all, i need to make a new machine and don't want to break the bank. Could use some advice as i've been out of the game for a while! I just need the base unit, I have all the other peripherals (mouse, keyboard, monitors etc). I want something as tiny as possible, 10"x10"x4". Obviously...

Thanks man. Much appreciated. FYI i'm using plex, which allows media to be synced to my iOS devices when in WIFI. Currently I encode at 1.5-2x the speed of the file, which is really slow for movies. But, agree with what you are saying. Cheers TM

Hi guys, I picked up a Lenovo M58p to run as a file server. It has since taken on more responsibility and I want to upgrade the CPU, however i've been out of the game for so long, I cannot quite figure out what would work in it. Here is a link to a fact sheet to the machine...

Hey, thanks for the reply. I only need to proxy http traffic. Basically my main issue is my Samsung TV. I have the iPlayer app on it, but cannot manually set a proxy, therefore i need another way of doing it. Any ideas? TM

Hi guys, Some interesting proxy questions I'm hoping someone can help me with. I live in Canada but want access to bbc iPlayer. I have setup a proxy at my parents home in the uk. If I apply this in Firefox/Ie etc, boom I get iPlayer access. Id like to go one better. In my local network...

Mi Goren is an asian staple, and they are bloomin gorgeous. Loaded with salt, but im assuming you don't care. Best served with a sunny side upegg, thats then mixed into the finished noodles in a bowl (i.e. the picture on top). IMO these are the best instant noodles in the world. They have...

Hey Andi, it has an expansion slot, I wouldn't know if this is express card or PCMICA (sp)? Laptop is from 2009, what would be your guess? TM

Hey guys, thanks for all the replies. My laptop is a HP something (not entirely sure - doesn't say on it!). It was pretty high end when I got it in 2009. FYI the graphics chip is NVidia 9600. So, I can use VGA out, however the quality is terrible (might be the cable, might be the VGA out...

Hi Guys, I have a HP laptop with a Dell U2410 hooked up via HDMI. I want to add a second monitor (another U2410) but the laptop only has VGA out, which is no good. So, this new DisplayLink stuff looks pretty cool (basically converts USB to HDMI). I know I can get a USB 2.0 to HDMI...

+1 This person knows what they are talking about. You would be a fool not to go with Nixon Williams (speaking from Experience, and the 3 people I have referred who remain happy campers). To sum up, go with Nixon Williams, and enjoy an easy life, with all head aches handled, and certainty...

Hey all, I am making a desktop machine using a HTPC chassis (Origen AE M10). It can handle a half height card in the pci express slot of the motherboard (Zoltac z68). What would be the best gfx card I can get, assuming I want to play the latest crop of games with everything turned on (e.g...

Hi guys, other than the Zotac board which seems to have a lot of negative press, are there any other decent m-itx boards on the horizon? Looking to build a HTPC and don't want to wait for 6 months if possible :) Appreciate any advice, thanks TM

Hey guys, thanks so much for your replies. It looks like a bigger case would be required. Thats a shame, I was hoping for a tiny power house! :) Kind regards TM

Hi all, loving the Fractal Array R2, I've been looking for a small quite case for some time. EDIT: Here is the case I've been out of the loop for an age, so looking for advice on the sort of machine I could build using this case, but keeping it relatively quite. A few things i'm working to...
