    tv series

    Wayward Pines - watched the first episode and was entertained. Knowing the producer, it's probable that the reveals will be too long coming and the eventual twist to the tale, completely predictable. For now, I want to know what happens next.

    HTPC Case

    So I've just placed the order. Hope everything fits. If you see the case in the For Sale section you'll know what happened. Will post pics of the build if anyone is interested.

    Sens8 is coming soon. "The Wachowskis are also teaming with J. Michael Straczynski (Babylon 5) on their first small-screen effort, a new Netflix series titled Sense8."

    HTPC Case

    Would the onboard graphics on a GA-H97N with CP-iH4690S i5 3.2ghz be sufficient for Steam? Buying a next gen console just doesn't seem a viable option at the moment. A large case isn't either so I'm a bit torn between the two.

    dumped my Ipad.. not a moment too soon.

    You got a serious bargain. My XPS 13 cost substantially more and I have half the HDD capacity.

    HTPC Case

    Yes, the Cooler Master would be great but I'm limited by the size of the cabinet. My current case is tiny and I need an external fan running over it for cooling. Never had heating issues with the two Shuttles I've had in the past. I suppose going for overkill with the components of the current...

    HTPC Case

    So, I'm wanting to buy a fancy HTPC case to replace the cheapo Huntkey 702 that I bought locally. I'm looking at buying this http://www.shop.perfecthometheater.com/HTPC-aluminum-chassis-M10-No-Display-right-button-Black-HTPC-M10-ND-rb-B.htm ...but before spending the money was curious if...

    tv series

    For a dose of reality TV - On the insistence of the GF we've been watching Masterchef and Masterchef Junior. I started off by watching out the corner of my eye but am now fully engrossed.

    tv series

    Daredevil is in a completely different league i.e. it's not for kids. Might be a bit too violent and gory for some. That being said, I wasted 2+ hours going to see the new Avengers movie. It was sappy, drawn out and the 3D made it worse.

    tv series

    Via an alternative streaming/download service mentioned in the previous post. More than that I can't say as I'd be at the risk of advocating piracy on the forum.

    tv series

    I've tried Netflix a few times and was only able to view 720P on a 4Mbps line.  My preference for HD content led me to alternative streaming/download providers. I didn't find the content provided by Netflix to be particularly current or varied either. Maybe a current Netflix subscriber could add...

    tv series

    I'm onto E04 of Marvel's Daredevil and it's absolutely brilliant so far. What really sets it apart is the HD audio. Daredevil is blind so his heightened sense of hearing is audibly portrayed and it will blow you away!

    MadVR looks cool. Any issues with Windows 8?

    TVs - Samsung Plasma vs Samsung LED

    That's the spirit. Just don't forget to use gold spangled bifurcated zillion rated HDMI cables coupled with nuclear shielded power leads.

    TVs - Samsung Plasma vs Samsung LED

    No. Appreciably better. Black levels are far better. The unit runs cooler. It's slimmer and easier to wall mount. You won't find a comparable 60' LED at that price. I'm in JHB if you want to have a look first.

    TVs - Samsung Plasma vs Samsung LED

    Go for the plasma. I also had the 51' Samsung which I sold on Carbonite and replaced it with the 60'. The size difference is appreciable and you won't want to go back to something smaller. The black levels are vastly improved. The panel is really the culmination of all the R&D that has gone...

    What was the last Film you watched?

    Interstellar. I was so looking forward to it and it landed up boring me to tears.

    tv series

    Couldn't continue watching Last Man on Earth past E05 as it has become unbearably cringeworthy. Someone let me know if it improves.
