Thanks Juggy. My folks have a trader account with ellies so I'm going with the sanus VLT15 - Downloaded the manuals/installation docs and I think it will do.

I would think a wall mount is a wall mount too. Pieces of rigid steel. Just want to see what other options are there and how they differ in hanging the TV. I know some slide in tounge and groove like, others hang from the top and has a securing mechanism that clicks at the bottom. I also noticed...

Thanks for the advice, will see if I can source the Vogel.

Where is the best place to buy a sturdy wall mount bracket for a 51" Plasma in Cape Town? I know all the shops that stock TVs will stock them, but I'm looking for any recommendations for a well made sturdy bracket. I'm thinking of this mount. Any better options?

I love watching Thor if not just for the soundtrack. Just something about it... I'm not as sonically adept (actually I'm sonically handicapped) but I think audio was done well compared to most other movies I've seen. The soundtrack isn't varied but it does sound good.

I'm a big fan of both GOWs - Gears of War (XBOX) and God of War (PS3). Awesome games. But do research and get the games that appeal to you. Also use metacritic only as a guide on which titles to research. Even if a title is ranked pretty well (many biased site reviews) doesn't mean that you...

I see a couple of ads about the B&W DM603S3 but I notice that they don't have magnetic shielding. I have an HTPC box right next to my current speakers (which are shielded) and a PS3 (with internal HDD) just under 30cm away. Would the 603s cause a problem with these devices considering the lack...

I am sure a Low Profile PCI-Express NIC will fit no problems. A quick search shows you can get a "HP NC112T PCIe Gigabit Server Adapter" for around R599. Just change the plate to the supplied low profile plate. You should also be able to get cheaper desktop level NICs which would probably do...

Same happens in most industries. Peeps think ah its easy I can just get me some software/equipment and do it myself. For home/personal that is fine - you get a learning experience. For bussiness, pay the proffesional! You will save yourself more $$$ in the long run.

+1. If you have your email on stationary, then register your own domain and perhaps a forwarder email account with one of the hosting providers  -can even be an international provider, such as Dreamhost, GoDaddy etc. That way you can change ISPs whenever you want and just have the emails routed...

There are tons of options depending on what you want to achieve. If you would like to use Excel as the backend calculation only: Use C# or VB.NET to write the application that will show the user the form Use COM Interop to open up execel - Its easy with .NET (you can do this without even...

I have the Sammy 51" Plasma - Can't really comment on the 3D as I don't use it. I really do like the set tho - bar 1 thing, the reflection. As Ken said, if you have light streaming in, and specifically, on objects that are behind you that the set might pick up on its reflection - then u either...

You joke... but there is already a Cat 7 spec!

+1 I've been using CCCP now for years. It does everything I need it to do. The only format I have to load another codec for is Apple Quicktime. I also love the class Media Player. Just works, no bloat - simple and easy. As I understand CCCP was created initially with the view to have the...

The name scubasteve sound familiar from back in the day when I used to play CounterStrike! I got a similar setup but with inferior make components ;) Thermaltake Shark Intel I7 920 MSI X58 Mobo Apacer 3 x 2GB Ram WD Balck 500GB x 2 (Raid 0) Coolermaster 600w PSU

AFAIK - The x86 instruction set was developed ages ago and intel has been leading advancements in it (it was originally 8bit btw). However each manufacturer at some point has implemented propriety instructions into the instruction set for their optimised cores. Intel had a few such as SSX...

I don't like the Cideko either. Its finicky. I don't use the airmouse capability, just the keyboard, and even that sucks. Also no F-keys. I definitely need to organise me one of those ISonic keyboards!

That 9800 GT is an awesome card. Mine served me well and is still going. Memory on the graphics card is used for loading textures primarily. With resolutions going up, and more and more detail and objects are added into one scene more and more textures (and higher detail ones at that) need to...

I've tried one or two of the alternatives always returned to TC. Total Commander for me is the best. I do have a few niggles tho - especially with the BTM (Background Thread Manager) which sometimes seems like its hanging and I hope ghisler sorts it out in future releases.

Agreed. Internal HD to HD will be capped at the write speed of your drives. Depending on your drives and configuration - on my Western Digitals in stand alone its around 130MB/s USB speed is capped to the the interface of USB and will get you around 40MB/s If you try to read two streams from...
