cheers for all the feedback. Voodoo Theatre is live now and looks immense. We have a few things to do on our website but at the moment we are quite busy so these changes will have to wait. There is currently two of us in the business and we also have a few people we can freelance out to. We're getting 3D logo designed, very similar to this one, once we have that, we'll make a much nicer high resolution video portfolio.

My day has been tiring. Starting a business is all about hard work. Networking, finding clients, designing websites, online marketing but it is a relief working for yourself and building something valuable from the ground up.

Cheers. We will eventually make it so people who use IE6 can view it, but tbh they should upgrade there browser. Thanks for the feedback. Feel free to post the site anywhere or get inspiration from it.

People who have an Xbox should check out lastfm on there. It's pretty cool!

Hey guys, I've just launched my newly designed business website and would like to get some feedback from people on the design. I am a web designer living in York and used to be a really active member of these forums back in the c-europe days. My site is http://www.snapshotmedia.co.uk Let me know what you think. Thanks in advance

The default language on my computer is in welsh, i have no idea why. its a new comp, got it a few weeks back from comet. The only one i can change it too is US English. All the text is in english anyway, its just when i use MS Word. it doesnt automatically spell check cos its looking for welsh words and i have to change it in Word but it changes back after i open a new word document. Its just a pain the ass really. Is there anyway i can download the UK English settings.

What about power supplys, i've got a 350W one. will that be suitable to run the 6800 GS or a X850.

Where did you buy it from?

Nah in comet i got for £200 more a... Fujitsu Siemens AMD 64 3200+ 1GB RAM Ati X550 256 MB HM graphics card (PCI-Express) 200 GB SATA II HDD 17" 12ms monitor all in all a good deal for £599

Hey i'm in a bit of a dillema i want to play new PC games with good frame rates and good graphics and was wonderin what was the best graphics card i can get for £200 or less. a link would cool too. i was thinking of this one a G6800 GS http://www.ebuyer.com/customer/products/index.html?action=c2hvd19wcm9kdWN0X292ZXJ2aWV3&product_uid=98817 or maybe a mid range X1600XT card from Ati, i'm not too sure on the specs but i've heard they have high core and memory speeds. i know theres a few of these threads but i've not seen any recent ones and i want to make the right choice, cheers

i got a free Sony W800i on ORANGE student contract, 120 mins and 1000 texts for £25. the 200 mins is £30

I'm trying CD's at the moment, i'm gonna try a DVD next but was hoping to get it working. In Nero, my old CDRW was reading the same disk but the new DVD RW drive it said the drive was not ready or there was no disk in the drive... I am using the same NERO software as i did before i got the DVD drive but the one i have is actaully newer than the one supplied so surely that wont be it will it. Another thing i've just noticed is that the update file that comes with the installation cd keeps saying the drive is not supported.

Now when i try to burn a disk through windows explorer it says there is no disk in the drive when there clearly is. i've never had a problem with the imation disks i use before.

i bought a DVD RW from ebuyer, its a Samsung SH-W162C 16x DVD±RW, from ebuyer (quick code 97067) It was OEM but i dont care about that as i dont need packaging. I installed it and although i had a few minor problems with the jumpers i sorted that and had it working fine, or so i thought. I started reading cd's and dvd's and they read very well then i tried burning a cd first with Nero 6 Ultra. It took a while starting and then it just had an error at around 20%. it aslo didnt burn at the speed stated, it had said max speed 32X when the Max speed of this drive should be 48X. i'm gonna try a DVD but does anyone have any ideas. is this a problem with the unit and needs returning or a problem with my PC which isnt exactly brand new but is still a P4 1.8Ghz, 256MB etc so not too old either.

It may have something to do with your security settings if its not working after trying all the above.i have that problem, it all depends on what error message your getting, last time my msn went kaput it was the security issues and i had to tick and untick a few boxes in the IE tools.

What about tutorials, are they any useful tutorials you guys know about, if so, could i have links.

what about rubber gloves will they help? you know the type of gloves that surgeons wear.

sooo.... errr.... i have decided not to get dell as they do not offer AMD 64 processers, so back to the question ab out compatibility, i know RAMS fussy so how would i know its compatible cos ebuyers site isnt very detailed about that.

so what about compatibility issues and tutorials, what are the main things that go wrong with home builds, is it compatibility, is the RAM i chose gonna be suitable for the memory, how do i know?

Right i have decided to build my own PC with these components, what do you all think, i have never built my own PC so i need tips and maybe a tutorial, Ebuyer Case + PSU + Fans = £30 - http://www.ebuyer.com/customer/products/index.html?rb=11687762222&action=c2hvd19wcm9kdWN0X3Jldmlld3M=&product_uid=90997 Pioneer DVD rewriter = £30 http://www.ebuyer.com/customer/products/index.html?action=c2hvd19wcm9kdWN0X292ZXJ2aWV3&product_uid=94665 Graphics Card Radeon X800 GTO 256MB = £115 http://www.ebuyer.com/customer/products/index.html?action=c2hvd19wcm9kdWN0X292ZXJ2aWV3&product_uid=97159 Seagate SATA HD = £61 http://www.ebuyer.com/customer/products/index.html?action=c2hvd19wcm9kdWN0X292ZXJ2aWV3&product_uid=74108 Crucial (2 x 512) 1 GB RAM = £65 http://www.ebuyer.com/customer/products/index.html?rb=11688789439&action=c2hvd19wcm9kdWN0X3Jldmlld3M=&product_uid=46420 Abit AN8-V = £70 http://www.ebuyer.com/customer/products/index.html?rb=11689079829&action=c2hvd19wcm9kdWN0X292ZXJ2aWV3&product_uid=91858 OR….. http://www.ebuyer.com/customer/products/index.html?action=c2hvd19wcm9kdWN0X292ZXJ2aWV3&product_uid=96985 AMD 64 Venice 3500+ = £156 http://www.ebuyer.com/customer/products/index.html?action=c2hvd19wcm9kdWN0X292ZXJ2aWV3&product_uid=88107 ACER 19inch TFT = £175 http://www.ebuyer.com/customer/products/index.html?rb=11689491928&action=c2hvd19wcm9kdWN0X292ZXJ2aWV3&product_uid=86757&_LOC=UK

Hey, people may or may not remember me from a year or two ago, i used to be called <Link> or sumat like that and i did have 1k+ posts but stopped using the site cos i had big changes in my life. I was surfin the site and then i thought why not pop by and say hey and maybe get some advice from all you people cos you always were good at giving it. i'm thinking of buying a new computer, i have been on dell.co.uk and seen one that suits me perfectly, its in my price range and has the specs i need. i am willing to spend £600 and that can be either the case and monitor or just eh case. I was wondering if people could tell me what dell are like, are they good or bad, are the comps reliable or cheap. Also if there are any sites that sell good PC's please give them. Also the processer is a P4 630 3ghz with 800mhz fsb and 2GB cache. this is a 32 bit processor isnt it, would it be worth buying a 64 bit one or not. the speed of this PC is more than adequate but will i regret buying a 32bit procesor. Cheers, hope you can help
