Advantages: Far better picture than standard composite, better looking games Disadvantages: Expensive, Only needed for larger screens 32" or greater
...After the release of the little white bundle of joy on the 8/12/2006 people were given a composite cable to show off their new shinny new console.
AV enthusiasts all know a composite signal is the poor quality option for showing video on their TV's - what people really want is RGB or Component video input.
As console manufactures are out to make a profit they usually bundle the cheapest and most compatible option with the console and then release upgrades to that product for people who need or want it. Nintendo understand this and have released two video upgrade options - the Wii RGB cable or the Wii Component cable.
Lets get things straight from the off, The Nintendo Wii is not a High Definition Console, What this cable does offer is a enhanced image resolution of 480p.
I finally got hold of the component video cable after...
Advantages: sharper/brighter picture, opens up more ports on TV, saves hassle. Disadvantages: quite expensive for a simple console improvement
...The Nintendo Wii component video cable really is a sound investment if you are the owner of an HD/ LCD TV, and obviously a nintendo Wii.
Before i bought it, i had trouble with the picture quality and contrast on many of the games. Games such as Wii Sports were fine, but more of the action/adventure games such as Zelda or Splinter Cell give a very dark picture which can sometimes be hard to make out what was happening. The only way i could combat this problem was to adjust the contrast on my television which did help, but was alot of hassle.
With the component cable, the picture is not only much brighter, but much sharper and defined. It gets rid of the hassle of having to turn the contrast back down after playing on the Wii and improves the overall gaming experiance. Another bonus is that on your HD TV, this cable plugs into...
Advantages: Improves the graphical quality of games, Cheaper than the official cable. Disadvantages: I suppose some people will unfairly compare the Wii and the 360/PS3 graphics and be disappointed?
...Having previously played my Wii on a regular old television I was more than happy with the graphics in game. However upon moving house and purchasing a Samsung LCD TV which is HD compatible, I figured buying a component cable couldn?t hurt and I had heard good things about its effect upon games. I did not have the money at the time to purchase the official Nintendo one, and when talking about it with the kind and helpful assistants in GAME, they assured me theirs was just as good and a fraction of the price. I had never been let down by them before so I bought it and went home straight away to see the effect it would have, especially on games with already spectacular graphics like Metroid Prime 3 and Super Mario Galaxy.
Difference in Picture Quality
Being unsure of the effect it would have, I performed a blind test with a friend...

Review of Toshiba RD-85 DT
Advantages: a very good listen for hard house lovers Disadvantages: not one of the best euphoria albums
...beyond euphoria is a very good hard house album. for those of you who don't know hard house is a very hard core, hard styling type of dance music which is characterised by a very fast tempo. some people like to call it agressive dance music. i think the choice of tracks for this album and the mixing by DT8 project is brilliant and gives the album an excellent finish.
DT8 project have released some of their own songs such as "the sun is shining" and "winter" which were also very good. their track "winter" is also the first track on this album and i love it. infact winter is probably my favourite song on this album. overall my favourite cd is the first but the second is still fantastic. however, there first one has an excellent track called "no one on earth" by above an beyond who have mixed other euphoria albums. another great track is...
Advantages: Delivered when stated Disadvantages: Cheap build
...I build PC's for a living so when it came to replacing my own PC I thought 'sod it, I'll get someone else to do it'. The main reason I went for Cube is the fact that they would let me add components to my own system rather than have the rule that most companies have where if you open the case you void the warranty. I also checked with them that if something did need replacing they would be happy for me to send the faulty part to them and they send the repIacement to me to fit myself rather than having to send the whole PC away.
I have to say that after spending £1300 approx on my system I wasn't very impressed. Firstly, I know the case isn't everything but when you spend that much money on a system you expect it to at least look good. My case looks and is very average. Secondly, the specs stated a deluxe Intel motherboard so I...

Review of cube247.co.uk
Advantages: Huge stock range covering most electronic/techncial fields Disadvantages: Not all prices as low as elsewhere.
...from the Components desk at the back of the shop, where a member of staff will disappear into the deepest recesses of the premises to check stock position and hopefully come up with the goods.
Concentrating on PC?s, you can buy cases, motherboards, hard drives, processors, RAM, peripheral cards, monitors and keyboards/mice. In fact, the hobbyist can cobble together a complete PC from here. Not necessarily at on-line prices found elsewhere but you do get this massive catalogue to browse at your leisure. BEWARE, BROWSING CAUSES YOU TO DISCOVER HOBBIES THAT YOU NEVER KNEW YOU HAD, AND CAN BE HARMFUL TO YOUR WALLET!

Advantages: Excellent sound quality, loud, good background noise reduction, long cable, comfortable Disadvantages: Ugly, a little on the expensive side
...The Beyerdynamic DT100 headphones have for a long time been the industry standard headphones in sound engineering, so the DT150s, a new improved model, have much to live up to. First off, these are not small, and they aren't particularly light either. That is not to say they are not comfortable, the soft cushions fit nicely over your ears and are excellent at reducing background noise. The headband is also nice and tight, but not too much so, obviously dependant upon your head.
Neither are they the most sylish, in my opinion, in fact I would say they are positively ulgy, but I choose my equipment for performance rather than style and performance they have in spades. The bass production is by far the deepest and clearest I have heard from any headphone - it blows the competition away, simple as that. The mids and highs are also crisp...
...I've owned these headphones for a number of years now. I chose them because being in or around the music industry i knew that beyerdynamic was the industry standard. The BBC use mostly DT100's for example.
I paid i think £150 which to me was a lot of money for a set of headphones back then. I tried them on in the shop and instantly knew they were the headphones for me as they were so comfortable you didnt really know you had them on which is rare for a fully enclosed headphone.
On getting them home i played some pink floyd through them using a fairly high end home set up. The sound response was remarkable. There were things coming through from the music i had never even heard before. This being because of the very large frequency response. It was like discovering my cd collection again. I have also used them on hi-fi of all...
