With my audio DAW I have an M-Audio Profire 610 (quite reasonable price apple store UK) and some Behringer MS40 near field monitors which together sound awesome, no need for anything extravagant ! Nige PS. In another thread I was saying how some older technology had gotten dearer, these...

Off topic but I had some Cream trance anthems playing and your avatar popped up dancing in time . . . NICE !

I think the magic mouse is a superb bit of design, and at £59 it had to be ! I have had dozens of the little bleeders but this magic mouse is growing on me more and more, a neat bit of kit . . . but for me always a wired keyboard, I have the full sized Apple MB110B/B looks good, works fine ! Nige

The position I'm in now is that I have bought a GTX 570 for an early 2009 4,1 machine with a GT 120 already fitted, and want it to run full speed singularly (I have the two power cables for this card) Nige

I have a GT450 running in a 1,1 machine but I believe that to get the bootscreen and the full interconnect speed of the PCIe bus you have to flash the firmware ! Lots of conflicting info out there as to how this can be achieved ! Nige

Hi there, I'm trying to gather as much info as possible, is anyone flashing the rom on these GTX 5**'s ? Nige

In 30 years the only computer fire I've had was when the SATA power cable was half on (skewed) and flames burst out of the controller board of the hard drive, melted that and the SATA connector. Nige

Surely someone must have a HackTop for music recording ? any recommendations ?? Nige

Plants vs Zombies all over again ! Popcap had to send me a new DMG to work in Mountain Lion, but it's just so more'ish ! LOL Nige

Absolutely fantastic . . . . but couldn't separate me from my Griffin (life saver) Nige

I've seen and bought stuff on a 1 to 1 basis for the £ to the $ and although it ain't right it's par for the course ! My last purchase was an Apricorn controller which was equal in £ for $ but it was only available in one place in the UK so not much competition. I've also noticed prices going...

Do you have the GTX660 running in PCIe or PCIe2 ? Nige

Any need to flash the firmware to get these cards running full speed ? Nige

I got a GT450 running nicely on my 1,1 Nige

I got 2 x 250 gig standard 840 drives on an Apricorn controller (Mac Pro 4,1) and although not 3 seconds, I'm still more than happy with the performance. Also, a PC with 4 different SSD's . . . after a decent graphics card I would say the most important upgrade for any system. Nige
