I'm guessing in the next 2 months i will move over to a Blu Ray burner and need some advice on the media to use. The most important thing to me is the reliablity of the media, i don't want to go back to it in 3 years to find it's all gone, so my questions are what kind of media should i be...

This is my current key puncher As a rule i'm very happy with it (have 3 spares in the cupboard) and the only thing it is lacking is 2 mouse buttons (i don't care if there is nothing that moves the mouse) it just would be very handy to have the 2 mouse buttons sometimes. So request is small...

I have a much loved Intellimouse 4.0 and it's feet have err gone walkabout. I can find tons of "replacement" feet but these look generic and i was hoping to find something that was MS approved or someone on here who has used a certain make and it worked well, I know OC used to do some but not...

I know nothing is perfect but trying to find the best option open to me right now, given the price of half decent dvd media seems to be sill price i was toying with the idea of buying Blu-Ray burner and media, for me i tend to store movie's and TV series so i'm guessing the vast majority can be...

I do have a copy of most of the stuff i want to keep on a normal HDD, but we all know HDD are not that trustworthy, that is why i back up to media as a fail safe, and that is what i was looking at my fail safe method, doing a simple bit of maths it seems DVD media and BluRay media work out about...

I have not bought any DVD-R media for at least 5 years :eek: I used to buy TDK blanks but it would seem they have left the market nowadays, well i can't find any anywhere. Are people still using DVD-R media nowadays or has everybody moved over to Blu-Ray's blanks? Also what is the best DVD-R...

OK fair enough thanks for the replies guys, i'm happy with set up as it it ight now, was only looking due to CPU issues in the news and read my cpu would suffer to some degree if i applied the fix but i'm not going to throw hundreds of pounds at something for a tiny loss of performance, so i'll...
