Hi, treated myself to an XBOX LIVE Messenger kit this weekend. Thought I'd share my views with you XBOX 360 users. The XBOX Live Messenger Kit comes with a mini keyboard known as the "Chatpad", coloured the same as the XBOX 360 controller, (and for this case asks that you use official...

OK this may seem a dumb question, but really, why does windows suck? I`ve heard soooo much critisism about windows, yet it is the most popular O.S. and a lot of programs ONLY run on Windows... In my own past experience, I started off with Windows 98 Second Edition. The amount of blue screens...

Hi, I already have an xbox 360, soon will be using it on LIVE and playing all my games on in general. However I have always wanted to do a little project, which was to buy a preowned xbox 360, and mod it. Basically, I want to improve the cooling, but the main reason for this thread is whether...

Hi, this isn't really an "I need help post" its more of a bitching post. 4 Maxtor Diamond Max series hard drives have failed on me in the last year and a half, and is it not funny they are all the same model apart from actualy size, I have had a 160GB fail, a 200GB fail, and 2 80GBs fail. Now I...

Hi everybody, my 1st post for a little while now, here goes. For the last 5 years or so, I have been using internet connection sharing through a USB modem on the main computer with the permanent internet connection, and when my dad decides to switch it off, I rob it and use it directly on mine...

Hi, I am here because I think my mum and dad's PCs power supply is not enough to power their PC. And suggestions for a new one. For starters, we got their PC from tiny 3 and a half years ago. It had 1 hard drive, DVD writer and onboard graphics. I have been upgrading it since. e.g. I added a...

Hello again, fellow hardware-forums-ers. I am upgrading my PC very soon, and no I do not want to buy a new system for anybody who thinks I should - I need this to last me until 2009/2010, then I will build a whole new one alltogether. Anyway, my current PC specification is in my sig below...

Hi again, this must be my 3rd or 4th post now related to my PC. Anyway, I am still having shut down problems with my PC, even after putting in a thermaltake 600W toughpower, which was not cheap. I am VERY lucky if i even get to desktop without it shutting down now, but once when I did boot up, I...

Hi all, I have been without a PC for 3 weeks now, and I am getting pretty p***ed off about sharing the family PC. My Sumvision 500Watt 17A PSu finally failed after 3 years of use. I have the money now, for a new PSu. I just read the PSu sticky, and thankfully to B, I was just about to order...
