Cool!

Welcome to the 360 family RiaX. You get of the new stock?

No problem dude

Glad I could help

If you prepared to trek to the East of Pretoria, you get great bargains at DVD + Game Superstore at Gift Acres Centre.

I rent and buy discounted 360 games there. I've never paid 500 bucks. I refuse to do that

Being able to plug in an external drive/usb-stick and watch movies/series on the ps3 is so useful. You can do that with the 360 as well. I have a 500GB external permanently connected to mine. Running Linux on the PS3 is a huge advantage over the 360 though. It can basically act as an HTPC in your l...

I vote for Avira PE, its an excellant free anti-virus program. But the popups every time it updates? The free edition has an upgrade to premium pop-up, which is okay considering that its detection rate is top-class. Its not obtrusive in any other way, it gets on with protecting your PC which is wha...

I can blow bubbles with my own spit by curving my tongue ... a priceless skill I picked up in school whilst being bored in class.

I'll have to think about my other unusual skills ...

Good question Wik1d ... Nintendo is a Japanese company though.

And a knock-off is knock-off ...

Well, they've been making knock-off products for eons in China. Think of the Golden China 8-Bit machines we had over here that was cheaper than the NES console. Those were the good 'ol days of Excite Bike and Mario Bros :D I'd take the female hottie too, after my girlfriend went on holiday with her ...

I think you need a new IT guy

Of course the 1st one mucked it up. Pastel is a sensitive program to begin with. My previous employer ran a Pastel server with 5 users. It gave me quite a headache

The problem with autostyle is that they don't always give the RMS wattage on the website. Going by just purely the PMPO I'd say a 2000W 4 channel as a minimum. The last thing you need is a blown amp 'cos it can't handle the sub (which draws the most power). That sound will pump without being a pavem...

R&B = Alicia Keys (the latest one), Mat Pokora might be worth getting when he releases his album (might be classified pop).
Hip-Hop = Lupe Fiasco (The Cool), any Talib Kweli or Dilated People album
House = DJ Fresh (Definition of House 4) > Local

^^ Sounds decent. I'd say borrow someones splits just to get an idea of how they would fit in your door. Be they 4 or 5 inch drivers. What car do you drive? Any decent 4 channel, or if you can get hold of a 5 channel even better. Just remember PMPO is not a gauge of amplifier performance. And BTW, I...

I didn't start this thread as a Windows vs Linux debate ... or the merits of Vista over XP >> which is mostly a DX10 issue. I still use XP on my rig. I've grown tired of this constant need of upgrading components and OS. In fact, I merely use my rig to surf the net, download stuff, and burn CDs/DVDs...

I'm still using XP, but I think with Quad Cores and the like an upgrade is needed

Is it real?

According to this blog this is a beta version.

Interesting stuff.

Hopefully MS can give up on Vista and build something decent for a change.

You right Zana Its a load of crap, but thats what the world is coming to unfortunately. Their excuse is that the suppliers gives them the product like this, and the distributor in the meantime, says its their way of combating piracy. Meanwhile, the customer gets frustrated because the "conditio...

Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles made a come back ... in a 360 shell

Shooting in the dark here, but can't you go round to a Apple store? Should be one in Joeys. They will be able to let you know where the official repair centre is. I have not heard about 3rd party repair shops for Ipods. The more knowledgable forumites might help you out though. Hope you come right :...

Sony Memory Stick Duo

(Xbox 360 Repair/Mod)
Washers/Screws/T8 Screwdriver
Wet wipes
Spray paint
Thermal paste
Sand paper

Tissues (Ajax Cape Town missed out on league title, Stormers failed to qualify for the semi's)

I'm a little miffed that Stormers didn't make it but kudo's to them. In retrospect, the poor start to the campaign, coupled with the draw last week cost them in the end.

May they take this form forward into the Currie Cup
