My friend bought a 1:144 Strike Freedom HG, we spent 3 hours assembling it. Looks very nice, I probably want to get a 1:100 version

it takes me 45 mins to assemble a 1:100 scale Master Grade.

you sir....suck balls

I think its more of a subjective thing.

you wont know until you buy one and try it out. on the other hand it would save you trying to find 3rd party modded drivers to keep your Audigy working in W7.

its only £20.

I tell you what. buy one. try it out and if you dont like it i will take it off you for the exact same price as i need one for my friends system build anyway. YOU might not want it but he will.

so youve got nothing to lose

I cant find it for £20?
currys is the cheapest i can find without shipping


I have drivers for the audigy, im just gonna wait on the new speakers before i pull the trigger, if they sound mediocre im defo upgrading

well f**k it £23, you still dont have anything to lose. I'll still take it anyway if you dont want it

 

[Bo$$]

yeah, im not worried about price

I'm worried how my PC will react if i add another expansion card (hence why the audigy is not in now). I will investigate and let you know by friday if i have bought it or not

Noob/Moron question...
Is that card only for headphones??? it has a headphone amp, can that kill speakers?

 

[FreedomEclipse]

its got a built in headphones amp but they also function as standard ports to give 5.1 surround sound

Nearly New Inspire T5900

It is too late to cancel but thanks for the offer bro (i have those above ones in 2.1 format), plus i was looking for something to replace my X-530 set which i will be putting up for sale soon...

Any chance for a price on those x-530 and I know someone who wants a dvd drive for their pc

you sir....suck balls

We took our time, and this is the first time in almost a decade since I last assemble a Gundam model. I probably need to improve my working speed soon. Any models which you might recommend for me to get?

 

[cheesy999]

just to check netbooks are powerful enough to do most tasks arn't they - i can still watch youtube and iplayer as well as my movies on itunes and some old games (like CnC generals and the older sim city games) (atom n450)

 

[Fourstaff]

480p is possible, I can play Warcraft III on an N270.

 

[cheesy999]

so iplayer = yes

 

[Fourstaff]

so iplayer = yes

Never tried iPlayer, but if it can do Youtube I would think it works on iPlayer too

 

[cheesy999]

will it do music and typing?

 

[Fourstaff]

will it do music and typing?

Yes, you can do music and typing at the same time. I was using Win XP on that, so Win 7 might not be able to handle everything I said before.

 

[cheesy999]

i might consider a netbook then as i can find one with a 10 hours battery life for £115

1 thing though, can you upgrade the ram to 2gb on these things

i will consider buying it shortly however i have just found the original 60's batman tv shows on itv 4 hd so i will be watching that for now

 

[Fourstaff]

Yes, upgrade to 2gb is possible. Netbooks are not that bad!

 

[MightyMission]

the mrs got a netbook with 2gb in it,it doesnt overclock for sht but it does what she needs it for quite well.

wait, are you saying no o/c - i was gonna turn it up to 11 (ghz that is)

 

[MightyMission]

lol
nothing at all!
some mobos will allow if you can find the pll chip,but she would barely let me take it apart to put the 2gb stick in,let alone have it to pieces for fractions of a gig increase!
in honesty one of the amd fusion netbooks would be choice,the graphics power even with 2gb is pretty crap.

i know someone with a fusion netbook and there exxcelent, however i can't afford that - how about this - http://www.carphonewarehouse.com/broadband/laptops-and-netbooks/buy/SAMSUNG-N145 - and i don't think theres much left in stock so don't steal it from me

 

[MightyMission]

no worries mate,if i wanted a netbook i would go sign up for an mobile internet deal where they throw a netbook/lappy in.
that one you linked is the same as the mrs one,except she got xp so it is a little lighter on the cpu,and your link is already out of stock!
whats the top of your budget?

its not for me, someone i know is trying to build a desktop pc using an old 4200+ from my rig, it'll be around £150 for the DVD+HD+Windows that they need so i think it'll be better if they spend the money on a netbook as they've already got a few desktops ranging from currrent tech down to pentium 4

 

[Bo$$]

I have an ION netbook with 3gb ram and 320gb hdd which can play COD4 and similar games smoothly.... will probably sell it next month like those speakers. PM if you are interested
