Cheers Dan! ;) Was just comming back from Gwithian after spending a day on the beach! Tried to get some VPower from down the road but they had ran out! Thought it was you in the Saxo! My mate Si said who the fook was that, I said it looked like Dan from the forum. Glad I was right! :nana2: Yeah, absolutely loved cruising down the beach with the roof off and the tunes going! One reason I could never sell my Z, you just don't get this feeling in any other affordable car during summer!

She was definately \/\/ank material when I was a lad... :D

Yep, every day for me down here in Sunny Cornwall... Although i've been working the drive too and from work with the roof off been good! Sat outside in my lunch break in the Z eating my Sandwiches to catching some sun too... Loving the sound of my exhausts note with the roof off too!!! One reason I can't part with my Z, just love it for summer... Nothing better, can't get the same thrill in Skyline or anything else really!

Good work on the LED's Vin! Was thinking of doing that myself this summer but ya beat me to it! It's what I imagined they'd look like and it's nice to see them on yours fully functional and work... Always admire someone for trying something new and different with they're Z that hasn't been done before... Fair play dude... :bow: :bow:

Happy Birthday Dude! :duffer: :duffer:

Good work Stu! Bet you can't wait to be driving her round again! Just in time for summer! :dance:

Come on the turn out on here is pretty lame!! Join this group now! http://www.facebook.com/group.php?gid=3467637815

Love you all but Duffer's always get's my vote! :D

Def better, that's a sexy ass! :D

Happy Birthday Fella... :duffer: :duffer:

Yes, Plasma is def more prone to it... Just for example if you freezeframed a picture such as MTV for example, because the MTV logo is in white after around 3 to 6 hours of the same image not moving then screen burn will def occure... White pixels are when the panel is working at it's hardest, the screen burn you'll get is like the old cash point machines where you can still see the black text or borders etched onto the screen... Even when you turn the thing off you can still see the logo's or image burned in... Modern plasmas have a mode called pixel shift so how that works is if we freeze framed our MTV screen again, the pixels would shift left after 5 mins down after 5 mins, right after another 5 mins and then up after another 5 mins until the thing returns to it's original location... It's designed to limit screen burn but it can still occure... LCD can still get screen burn but unlikely as you would have to have the same image on the screen for 26 Hours+ so not immune but unlikely! :hyper:

Used to be the case a few years ago but LCD panels have better control over what the picture is doing and more stable... The only thing I will say is as far as a normal terestrial picture goes i.e if your watching Freeview or Normal Sky, then a plasma image will apear better... The reason being is because the picture is not so precise as LCD Plasma can mask digital noise block very well.. An LCD screen especially on a bigger scale will show every imperfection the original broadcast has.. In other words until the analogue signal is switched off altogether to free up the available bandwidth then the images are some what compressed... An old CRT tv will piss all over the latest screens as far as Freeview or Non Sky HD is concerned... Cause new tv's are such a high resolution and more lines, the picture is having to be scaled up to fit the screen... Where as on the older CRT tv's the lines we're perfectly matched to the broadcast... ;)

This one Iain... Enough said... The Daddy... http://www.comet.co.uk/shopcomet/product/446386/SAMSUNG-LE52A557P2FXXU Samsung a better at making LCD's than Plasmas although there new 5 series Plasmas like the 1080p one you put a link on is good... Basic rule of thumb, go for the highest contrast ratio you can... The bigger the contrast ratio the brighter and clearer the picture... Darker deep blacks and Brighter whites... The one i've chosen for you is a beast!!! LCD's work better in a wider range of lighting conditions and this one has an awesome response time... You we're happy with your PC monitor, now get this!!! The reason it's 52" and not 50 is beacause of the way an LCD panel is manufactured... 52" on an LCD will give you a precise perfect pixel for pixel image where as 50" would be slightly not perfectly sqaure... Not that you would notice with the naked eye but that's the tech guff behind it! Also Samsung's have a nice mode called "Just Scan" which reproduces the pixels exactly as they we're intended to be shown.. Awesome on PS3 and blue ray...

Sh1t Si, that's aweful news... Makes you wanna go find the little coonts that did it and throw them to the ground.. Poor Maddie...

Been working all day stuck in a tin building in Comet Camborne... Would have loved to have gone for a drive with the roof off today... :cry:

Hell Fire! Just seen this! Sorry to hear about the sh1t you've been through today Dave... Feel for ya mate...

Happy Birthday Danny, hope all is well with you...

Fook sake! Thought you we're serious then Iain!! :rofl: :rofl:

As far as I can tell it's running the intel 845 Chipset and not the Intel 845E... Don't know if the Intel 845 Chipset will take a processor running 533MHz bus speed. The unit is basically a Compaq EVO W4000... Would love a new system but just wanna get a cheap faster processor off ebay for now so want the fastest I can get! Have already upgraded the memory from 256 to 1Gb PC2100u and got a dedicated NVIDA 256MB 6200GT Graphics card so maxing this as much as I can!!

I'm looking to upgrade my processor on PC. I'm currently running a Pentium 4 2.0Ghz 400Mhz Bus Speed and 512 Cache... Is it possible to fit say a 2.8 Pentium 4 with a 533Mhz Bus Speed and 1M Cache or do the bus speed and Cache have to remain the same as what i've got already??? Many Thanks!

Happy Brthday both of you!

Yeah, had a look at this too thanks Nick but the dipstick is topped right up and not loosing anything! The car is due for an oil change soon though so maybe the oil in there is reached already it's usable life??

Thanks Darrell

Compression fine and still out putting 437 BHP! Thanks though jimmy...
