| 729875 | 2008-12-17 04:15:00 | Mabix you don't have the word "budget" in your dictionary do you!:p Lol. It is there, but mother works at Silver Fern Farms, and they have a promotion every now and again where they get things from Noel Leeming at Bond and Bond at the Price that the shop bought it for from the stockers plus 10%.. so as you can imagine there are some major discounts there, I picked up a 4GB Memory Stick for the PSP, down from 130 to 60. 2GB SD was $18 Father wont let the projector come inside though... They like to "Party" in the shed so it's on the roof in there and they like music videos.. When his friends first came they thought it was some new flash TV so yeah.. |

| 729877 | 2008-12-17 04:50:00 | Having the i7 rig in the lounge as a media PC wouldn't be very quiet would it? Especially with that graphics card! We are currently down from what we used to have in the lounge: 29" CRT TV Xbox with XBMC - used to watch recorded TV from the MediaPortal TV Server in the other room. I need to connect up my Logitech Z-5500 speakers again. Used to have: 47" 1080p Toshiba Sonos music system HTPC Image 414 loudspeakers Image Sub10 All that gear (what has not been sold) is now in the showroom at our shop :( |

Well it's running XBMC amazingly at the moment :P It's fine in the cupboard, because the cupboard is huge and has the reciever and DVD/VCR. Made for electronics. Didn't feel too bad in there from 3pm till now :P. Yeah, I know what I've got, and it does the job very very very well :P Best part is that we're still on Go Large so we never run out :D |
