adding http://www.aberdeen-music.com/galleries/files/*thumb.jpg along with http://adserver.aberdeen-music.com/* makes the site much more pleasant to use.

well that sucks since it doesn't "remember" that I've minimized it. I'm totally sick of seeing the same faces of the same gormless fuckwits every time i hit reload.

is there any way for users to disable the random gallery thumbnail on the front page, I don't want to see pictures of twats every time it loads.

that's because guitar players are twats.

It probably wasn't even peter dow.

That's apalling and utterly retarded, AVG are taking the piss.

My projects rely on a lot of vsti/vst fx so both cores of the cpu are getting driven pretty hard when im working on audio stuff. I have an e8400 chip and it idles around 27/28celcius so the cooling demands shouldn't be too intense, i reckon a top down cooler with 120mm fan should do the trick, and help with the passively cooled northbridge. I'm just worried about installing a new heatsink since putting on the stock intel retail cooler nearly snapped my mobo and left it with a distinct bend in the pcb. I hate that push pin attachment. The stock cooler is definately the noisiest fan in the box right now.

norton. you get what you pay for basically.

i wouldn't bother with avg, their virus db is always out of date because they have no in-house research capability, and the software itself is really irritating. If the machine is running really slowly, are you sure it's not just because avg is running a filesystem scan in the background?

I find the windows command line ftp client does the trick

I actually built the machine with a mATX mobo (in an ATX case) so i could use the integrated gfx and save some money but when I switched to using 1680x1050 it became pretty unstable and would crash almost every day under load - the northbridge heatsink was too hot to touch. I stuck in an 8600gt and now it's totally stable. I know there are passively cooled versions of the 8600gt around but I've been overclocking the chip by 200mhz for fun with CUDA so the fan is probably necessary for the meantime. I'd be interested to hear from anyone who's upgraded from the stock intel c2d cooler to anything 3rd party and if there was a significant noise reduction.

Having just switched from using a laptop back to a desktop machine in the "studio", I'm painfully aware of how much noise all the fans generate. I'm using the stock intel core2duo cooler, cheapo generic psu with an 80mm fan, 120mm case fan and just added a gfx card with yet another fan on it. The base noise level is really distracting when mixing/monitoring (even the noise from the birds outside really pisses me off), so I'm looking at trying to eliminate some of the noise. I'm going to switch to a psu with a 120 or 140mm fan, and buy a 3rd party cooler. I was just wondering if anyone here has had any real success at making a machine less noisy, or upgraded to components with bigger fans and noticed a difference? Anyone using water cooling? Seems quite affordable these days, but all the cheap systems seem to involve using a fan on the radiator, which makes buying a good heatsink for half the price seem more attractive. Any thoughts?

maybe he still felt the need to have some item of patriotic clothing on him (they look tartan I think). I wonder if at the time of that photo there was a mob of kids outside the window behind him and an alarm going off?

yeah totally that upholstery is nauseating

Mr January?

it's not peter dow, it's a dedicated cosplayer

I fully advocate bringing in armed UN peacekeepers to keep the english back and quell all the ethnic violence we scots endure

Nah the point is you can find a review or a quote easily to back up either point of view in just about any disagreement, but doing that doesn't further the debate. Having said that, reading richard dawkins review convinced me even more that hitchens book is not worth reading.

rnb did do price matching against an internet price, but added on what it would have cost for the postage anyway. I thought it would be a good idea forsupport etc to buy it locally but I've just bought everything else off the internet for convenience with no problems

Well I prefer this review.
