I'd also check the Overclockers forum - there a section in Software that has a sticky with all of the best free applications linked. It's where I go when I periodically decide the pain from cleaning is less than the pain of the ever slowing system :)

Similar point, but just in case you were going to recycle an old Windows installation, again make sure its x64, otherwise, maximum addressable memory for the OS will be about 3.2Gb! I'd personally recommend Win 7 Home Premium, which is a lot more stable than XP but still has the Start button.

Ferj - the issue is actually that whoever makes the camera or lens will themselves be VAT registered. So, even if you manage to find a dealer / seller who is not VAT registered, they will have purchased from Canon / Nikon / whomever and Canon etc would have charged them V AT at point of entry of...

That looks pretty good. The screen resolution is a bit high at 1080 (ideally, you don't want the native screen resolution to be too high, since for games to look good, you want to run in native resolution for the screen - it's a lot easier for a mobile graphics car to drive a game at 720p than...

Excellent! That will work then!

I'd also usually try to work out what is causing the problem. So disconnect all devices and re-connect to router one by one to see which one triggers the fault. Then swap over the router port you're using for that device to see if the issue is the device or the router. If there's no joy from...

I'm not sure that I'd actually bother with anything other than MSE to be honest See the posting from Symantec (who make Norton) http://www.techweekeurope.co.uk/news/anti-virus-dead-or-dying-symantec-144954 Virus checkers also cause more conflicts / issues when running other applications than...

Thanks for posting to confirm it works. Before I spend £100, can anyone confirm whether there are any issues with it blocking other, wanted, calls. For example, my office number appears as withheld, as it used an IPphone system?

Awesome, albeit dead, thread! Doubt author still interested, but for any others reading or looking, might also be possible to fix the PCB connector with something like http://www.intertronics.co.uk/products/circuit-works-conductive-pens.htm

Shot of what I think is an Apache in 13 is superb - looks like it's in a fire zone rather than an airshow!

Fantastic - particularly the last one. Almost looks like the Spitfire is flying escort!

That's a real shame. Whatever about the merits of his tax structuring (whatever it was), I always found him reliable to deal with and the equipment exactly as described. A cursory glance at eBay will confirm far larger traders based on feedback alone who have also clearly not registered for...

I'd also have a think about what you're looking to achieve with RAID - ultimately, it's only there for single disk failure, but for proper resiliency you really do need offsite backup. I use Backblaze, which offers unlimited backup space for (can't remember exactly) about £30 a year, which was...

The Pro has a faster controller and more overprovisioning (all SSDs will ultimately fail, since the sectors have a limited number of read / write uses). That being said, I'd also go for the Evo, since having had a number of SSDs for the last 5 years I've never had one fail before chucking it to...

I'd also consider the Nexus 10" 32Gb. Seem to be very good deals on this at present and the screen is excellent. Has limited storage, but there are ways around this, such as an app allowing you to connect a USB memory stick to it and move files between the Nexus and the stick.
