i bought a portable a/c for £10 without thinking about logistics then stumbled across the hdnl site.Result!

Any chance of a link? all I can find is the business side

MightyMission · May 5, 2011, 09:14 PM

sorry i wasnt sure what can be posted here,some forums are a bit twitchy about advertising.
anyways
http://www.smartcourier.co.uk/
if you go directly through hdnl you have to shift x amount of units a month,so a broker comes into play and you still only pay £7.88 according to the collection i ordered a couple of minutes ago.
It was a a hdnl rep who recommended i use a subby to keep costs down!

on tpu you can post almost any link as long as you don't spam or spend your time insulting the competition, a lot of companies actually have representatives on hear in order to help people with their products, answer questions etc

Excellent,this forum seems a lot more lax than the other one i check,plus the people are more friendly too which is great!

Well you've managed to become one of my favourite people in just 30 posts so I'm sure you'll fit in well with this site (be carefull of mussels and erocker when his avatar isn't from a tv show) and if you have any queations ask krejj or black panther

MightyMission · May 5, 2011, 09:36 PM

haha :cheers:
mm i think i came across erocker when some dude was trolling me when i first got here.
If i stumble across a sensible amp on my travels i will give you a nudge.
alternatively you could foregoe the hi fi sound and have a dell wireless setup!
as it happens i know someone who...

I'd be willing to send it off for free to anyone who wishes to tackle such a task!

MightyMission · May 5, 2011, 09:53 PM

mine does but i never use it,most of the records i ripped onto here are mainly mono

So it just dawned on me i spent ages tryin to get 4gig stable with my computer for it to be at 1gig most of the time (web browsing/waffling and playing music etc) with the cool & quiet function,and i barely notice the difference!
I don't know how it became soo important to get the extra gig but now it seems stupid!
Anyway im off to get an hours sleep before my little'un wails for his midnight feed,hopefully tomorrow brings the 1100t and 955 that need soldering so i might have something to do!

Spectrum i will take the mission of resuscitation on if the other guys dont want to.

MightyMission · May 6, 2011, 08:54 AM

i know it is a shame the emulators dont work very well

i do have a ps2 here somewhere but the idea of that game married up to pc quality graphics is a sweet one.

scaminatrix · May 6, 2011, 09:32 AM

Damn! Bought a 4 Bay HDD Hot Swap thing, and it's too loud for me (I need silence). Paid £60 for it now it's gotta go straight back into a FS thread

Actual p*sstake!!

MightyMission · May 6, 2011, 09:46 AM

i know what you mean,the only sound i hear from my system is the HDD and psu fan.
nice looking HDD bay though,GLWS!

i run a ps2 emulator. unfortunately the graphics plungin that renders all the graphics isn't all up to scratch just yet and tbh its more like ps1 graphics but i can still play ps2 games so i'm not complaining.

MightyMission · May 6, 2011, 10:54 AM

i tried a couple and the only sensible emulator that worked well was mame,and i only had that for super street fighter 2 lol

Honestly sir

FreedomEclipse · May 6, 2011, 11:32 AM

well, Ive been running PSX2 for a lot of my PS2 games, seems to work fine. but as i said graphics look more like PS1 graphics no matter how you set it up in the plugins

FreedomEclipse · May 6, 2011, 11:49 AM

watercooled is still posting in the FS section... Oh if some of you are still interested in some fast DDR2 ram... look HERE might not be as cheap as £40 but its better then paying £70 or more for it
