Yaka is it overclockable obviously its water cooled and can it run crysis? (sorry couldn't resist) Nice razor btw I didnt realise you can still get these nice to see an old fashioned razor I've not seen one in years

 

Picked these up at the comic store today.

 

Well - It finally arrived a day late! I have to say, the button and sticks work very well!
Using some emulators, and playing games like Super mario world, Street fighter 2, and Sonic 3 is a real joy on this deivce. The buttoms are already mapped to the emulators that I'm using, so it works well!

It's like having a 7" Screen Game Gear or PSP.

Just had a play on the latest Game - Frontline Commando D-Day, mapped the buttons to the controls, which is easy with the bundled software. With the Quad Core GPU - It runs this game very well and smoothly.

As a tablet - It is as fast as my S3, in loading web pages, and generally doing your usual stuff on it.

Speakers sound very clear, and better than my S3 phone with no distortion at max volume.

Screen - Although they say it's IPS Panel, I'm not convinced - It also lacks brightness, picture does seem a bit dull.
Also being under 720p standards, it is not a HD Screen - But that doesn't make it a bad thing, as Youtube clips come with HD mode on the device. Watching some HD content on it did look pretty good for a tablet.

Overall - I'm very happy with it, been playing all day on it - So hence me not posting much today on here.

Price - Bargain for £129 IMO.

I will sort a video of it at the weekend with some pics.

i tend to get sucked in easily and had to get it after seeing this pic

just hope it was worth it

 

I don't have this problem

Windows Phone, Zune HD, PSVita and Nexus 7.

No Apple in this house


wait... yes, there is an ipad but it's not mine and I hate it

See bellow.

Also what's the point of the stars if we know what they're hiding. I think the F and S word can add a lot of humour when used properly. I've been on reddit a lot lately, as well as other forums, and I like the liberty of using those two beautiful words.

Yeah this is the most annoying example as this word is harmless to me

 

the lighter is not mine tho, its gift for someone

 

did you enjoy the sound the box made when you opened it?

 

We got one of those intel pc's for use at work. The box is awesome!

 

Just bought an 04 plate BMW 320D. I cover a lot of miles and it was time for a change. Seemed in good nick so why not? Diesel so the milage is high. 111000. But at 12000 a year average, it ain't so bad. 96000 would be average. 1 previous owner.

 

That sounds nice! Make sure to check the battery and glow plugs - they might need a change if it hasn't happened in some time.

 

yep nice touch by intel hope they do it with the cpus as well. tho the jingle sound is not that clear and is slightly distorted

 

I do loads of miles so hopefully, unless there are charge issues, the battery should be OK although I don't know anything about batteries.

I'm hoping changing glow plugs is easy on this engine. Being right wheel drive (rwd) should mean the orientation is correct in that engine bay.

 

The battery in a diesel car gets a lot of abuse since it's tougher to turn over a diesel engine than a petrol engine. As a rule of thumb, if the car is driven every day it is wise to replace the battery every 4th year or when you can feel the starter motor having to turn over one or two extra times to start the engine.

 

Mk1 focus rs, tank of fuel >.>

 

Not personally had any issue with the battery in mine, despite only doing very short trips atm (couple of miles to and from the supermarket mostly). Seems to be quite a hefty battery, probably because there's more room for it in the boot. No idea when it was last replaced.

The two things I'd advise doing are removing the swirl flaps. Not a difficult job if you've got a little experience tinkering with cars, although does involve removing the manifold. I'd also advise getting the rear discs off and checking the condition of the handbrake mechanism. They're prone to corrosion and seizing. If you have the time, take them apart and clean with a wire brush and apply some copper grease before re-assembling. They can be a little tricky and frustrating to re-assemble though.

 

Hah!

Photos, pretty please?

 

Very nice!

Those are definitely going up in value now, a future classic.

 

Nice, the first of many tanks I fear!

Just don't do this to it:
