You going to sukkel to find spares dude.

Like the other posters have said, seeing as it was never officially available in this country, parts are going to be an issue ... not games

What you plan to study Hman? Good luck with the winters

The good old arcade. An original or generic VGA cable will sort you out Greegor.

Intimidating site

Sweet wallpaper dude ...

Racing: GTR2 GTR RFactor LFS F1 2002 [Race07 and WTCC are okay too] Classic Racing: GT Legends Driving: TDU (though not very realistic) Rally: Richard Burns Rally None of the Colin McRae games are ultra realistic like RBR, but I'd say DiRT (after the brake mod) is fairly good. I agree with this. An...

Me too

Danielle FTW !!! Nice little project you've got going there

Good luck and post pics of the finished article

The manufacturers are simply forcing Vista on the public with this policy. A case of shape up or ship out. Which would be fine if they would ship Vista with laptops powerful enough to handle it. Unfortunately, some are just plain underpowered. So true. Bluetooth, card-readers, etc but with 1GB of R...

I hope you come right chvw1987.

This has proved the bane of many a tech the last year or so. Some laptops simply do not support XP.

Sounds like the mobo is on its way out.

I'd say your friend needs to back up everything and look at spending some money on a new rig. Otherwise, the PC won't work permanently in the future

My 0.02c

Cool ... a beverage of my liking is in order then ... seeing as you're a fellow Gautenger

Cool. Give some feedback hey! Grumbles about giving away trade secrets

CDRecovery Toolbox (Free App) for optical disc data recovery. Another option (paid-for) is Smart Projects Isobuster Pro. If they don't help then I guess the disc is truly unreadable. If you really desperate, then a data recovery service is recommended. As long as they have a no recovery, no payment ...

DAE ... party like a rockstar ... wooooooooohoooooooo

Enough of that. I HATE CELEBRITY'S

Cool

Cool. My girlfriend and I watched the first installment together.

If I've shaken my cold off, I'd love to see it tomorrow.

Thanks for the heads up

360 games doesn't run under emulation on PCs either.

The last console to see emulation on the PC was the PS1 ... PS2 saw little success.

I don't see the point in any case. MAME and the rest of it ... FTW!!!

A real golden age of gaming

Sounds like the XP is Home Edition. I usually use GetDataBack-NTFS ... google it. It has worked 95% of the time for me. Take the drive out, and either put it in an external chassis with usb or put in another tower, make it a slave ... run the prog and let it read the drive (which it does 95% of the ...

@ Fallen. Details are sketchy. The dvd drive should be the quietest one released so far.

@ Fish_man, I troll forums man. Getting one next week, just the console (Pro), no HDD or accessories. Care to take it off my hands?

You can wait if you wish ... depends if you make "unnecessary" purchases the rest of the year :P There is a new dvd drive that will be shipped (LiteOn DG-16D2S DVD) in the next shipments. Still awaiting the hardware revision in terms of the next big manufacturing process. However, you can'...

There are 3rd party cables, ranging from dirt cheap to ridiculous ...

I've been buying dead 360 consoles recently, so I know all about buying accessories

True. If hundreds of arcade games, HD movie downloads from Live is your thing, then that larger hard drive makes sense.

My 20GB is far from full

Thats it, the 120GB HDD and black finish is the only difference.

You should make the trek to PTA, our retailers have plenty stock

Is Devil May Cry 4 that good? If so, I'll budget for a copy

Glad I could help doo_much :wink: Are you on Live? I'm awaiting my pre-paid card :( When you have a cool game 1vs1 would be cool ... GoW is so addictive ... I've just hired a copy, UNISA exams done so I'm fragging a way ... LOL ... Fallen, have you tried Look n Listen or Hi-fi Corp? or maybe just bu...
