Well, on that basis may I be the first to jump on the 'I hope he comes good for us' campaign?

Any good game demos around where I can test the graphical capabilities of this rig?

Well, here's the system requirements. http://www.game-debate.com/games/index.php?g_id=3734&game=The%20Elder%20Scrolls%20Online Check Eclipse Computers (Google them) and you can spec a system as you wish. They are the firm I bought my components from.

This week shall always be remembered as cull week. Good times.

Quite, it was very refreshing to see a new group of faces contributing.

Same here. The last few days have actually been enjoyable, good conversation and exchange of views. Then that bad egg re-appears.

I'm going to miss him, have some great memories of his time here. All the best to Guly.

Ok, all cables secured, but: The hard drive is not being recognised by the computer. The only thing missing is a four pin attachement next to the power supply and sata cables on the back of the unit. Model is a Seagate Baracuda St1000dm003 1Tb I've been into the BIOS and it has detected that it's there, but go into Windows Explorer and it isn't there. Any ideas? Edit: All sorted, hadn't realised that I needed to go into Disc management and Initialise the thing. All taken care of now.

Just under £600 including operating system.

Entirely forgettable film, but the music score for 'Equilibrium' just works wonderfully.

Oh not another one! We would struggle to replace him, at this rate it doesn't matter how much we bring in there will not be enough time to spend it on a new side!

Christ! Loadsa money! Based on what he has done with our team and the need for consistency should one or two players go, he is actually worth it in my mind.

Well, that was easier then I expected! Aside from being one SATA cable short (for the 1 Tb hard drive) and needing a HDMI to VGA adapter (I'm running this through my television, VGA out in either the motherboard or graphics card) it fitted together easily and runs like a dream! Having RAM with green LED's attached to it may become rather tiresome though.

Boo!!

Taking inspiration from above I have now speced the components to build my own PC for the price that pap quoted as being excellent for my purpose. The components are (in a nutshell) AMD Vishera 4.2 GHz processor. Asus M5A97 Motherboard. XFX 2 Gb AMD Graphics card. Crucial Ballistix Tracer 16Gb DDR 3 ram 1 TB Hard Drive with 60 Gb solid state to run the OS. XFX 650w Power supply. Should be more then enough to keep me going (And make my desire to buy an Xbox One redundant? That's a topic for a different fractious thread)! Now to build the thing. Never done this kind of thing before.... should be interesting!

Lallana's screamer against Newcastle. Most satisfying.

Neil Allen got something right. ........I'm scared......

I'm after a new unit to replace my now creaky 5 year old thing. Just need it to support my mobile devices, music, play Football Manager and browse the interwebs. I am open to suggestions but have found this: http://www.ballicom.co.uk/e4z60etabu-hp-prodesk-600-g1--tower--1-x-core-i3-4130--34-ghz--ram-4-gb--hdd-500-gb--dvd-supermulti--hd-graphics-4400--gige--windows-7-pro-64bit--8-pro-64bit-downgrade--preinstalle.p979842.html Frankly, is it any good?

One now going 'LOL.' Of more bizarre interest is that Portsmyth is bidding to become the 'UK City of Football.' And there is a bit of banging on over them being the 'biggest fan owned ra-ra-something or other' over that. http://www.portsmouth.co.uk/news/portsmouth-bids-to-become-uk-city-of-football-1-6057986#.U3Mmwv_GphQ.twitter

To the first part, it certainly implies that she doesn't exactly want to asset strip. However, onto the second, she is part of an extremely rich family with global business interests, an international trip would be essentially mundane for her. Couple in the fact that her son reportedly has adopted the club into his heart (good lad if true...) then it's time as a family, mother and son at a football match. I wouldn't look too heavily into the fact that she is being pictured at games on that basis. Easy to read too much or too little into things. My personal perspective on the initial question. Does KL have our best interests at heart? I believe she does. Good intentions and resources are not always the same thing though, I believe she will want the best for us, but in a way that will ensure there will always be a club tomorrow. That, frankly, sounds great to me.

What would you define as the club's best interests? Financial stability? Winning competitions? What is more important? It's an important question, different fans may have different perspectives on what the club's best interests may be.

Just entertaining the rumour for a minute, why did Martin Jol want to go to Fulham?

Just a tad! Nonetheless, the underlying theory....... No. I don't want to relive that memory anymore.

Why would De Boer come here? Unless he sees parallels between us and Ajax and a chance to develop our youth system and the club in a very dutch manner..... ...That sounds scarily familiar actually.

Frankly, I prefer it without them both. I've actually enjoyed using the forum over the last few days rather then finding it a necessary evil to use when searching for the latest goings on.
