Advantages: Maybe more interesting to you than my metal reviews?! Disadvantages: A wee bit long?
Centurion - that being the drinking game that I think would fit best with this little lot. Of course, rather than a shot of beer/whatever your posion may be, you should have said shot post each question. That way perhaps it will seem less dull by the time you reach the 50s.....
1* NAME? Ewan St. John Smith.
2* PSUEDO/NICKNAME? Well as you can tell from my name it's Saint obviously. No really. More realistically I had the joy of being known as "urine" for the first 10 years of my life due to it's vaguely similar sounding to Ewan...then about 14 years of age some said, "Ewan, that's a bit like 'you wanker' and so Ewanker is how I am now known to many a friend back home. Mum's dead proud. Of course, it's Dr. Ewanker these days.
3* GIRL/BOY? I guess I'm more a man now...?
4* PLACE OF BIRTH? Shoreham-by-sea, but seeing as ...

The Coolermaster Centurion 530 is one of Coolermaster's budget cases, but in many aspects of the design this does not show.
Looks
The case looks excellent, with the two silver poles giving it a striking finish. When on, the front fan glows blue, making the case look very nice. The top two bays are stealthed, meaning that the front panel is a flap which is pushed down by the drive - this is handy as it allows you to use beige drives without worrying about the appearance. The sides and top are pretty unremarkable - there is no window, but on the left side panel are two vents; one for the graphics card and one for the processor.
Cooling
The case ships with 1 120mm fan - the front blue one, while there is another space for a 120mm fan at the back. 120mm fans are much better than 80mm fans as they have bigger blades and so can ...
Advantages: Portable entertainment on the go - keeps the kids quiet on car journeys!!! Disadvantages: No battery, so cant be used on planes. Cant get the kids out for the car!

With a 4 and 7 year old who think the best place to fight is in the car we were starting to dread every outing. Having just decided to do to Devon for a holiday the thought of 5 hours of moaning, fighting and 'Are we there yet ! ' we thought , time to embrace technology and buy an in car dvd player.
I spent ages looking at all our options, single screen, head rest monitors, battery powered , screen size does it play games etc etc, with so many to choose from and ranging in price from £90 - £500.
Then I decided I needed something flexible and cheap and found the Centurion Plug and Play system.
This fits all our criteria in one package;
Big 8 inch screen - widescreen
Car kit (case and straps) included
Twin ear phone splitter ...
