Sun Microsystems Power cable

Advantages: Great colour, Great resolution, great design
Disadvantages: None at all

...I've been using a SUN Microsystems 19inch monitor for years, great resolution, great colour, and it allowed dual input (my PC and my SUN). I found though that my home office was getting really hot with it on, also the power consumption was quite high, so me being me and being an environmentally friendly sort of chap decided to update my monitor. I've found some emulation software, so I don't need a dual input monitor anymore, as long as my PC and my SUN are on the same network, I can "drive" them both. *** What is it *** The monitor I decide to go for was an LG Flatron L1717S. I paid £159.99 for it from PC World - OK I'm sure I could have got it cheaper elsewhere, but I saw it, I liked it, I bought it!! And to be honest, I couldn't be bothered to look around.

Disadvantages: Breaks Easy

...So you've looked at the strange title and then seen that I'm reviewing a power cable! Now your wondering how I'm going to manage at least 120 words on a power cable. Well it's going to be easy seen as it's a......Dell.... power cable. As fans of my reviews will know( do I have fans) I recently purchased a monitor from Dell. Well along with my monitor I got a basic package to run Office on because I do a lot of downloading and hate to slow the download down. With my computer came a Dell power cable. Ok you can't really call it a Dell power cable but they do supply it so I'l blame them... After unpacking my computer and plugging everything in I turned on the switch and..... well nothing. I checked all the wires and everything was plugged in so yet again I turned on the switch and.... well nothing again. After inspecting the cables... Read review
