Optoma HD720X

Advantages: Great picture, little rainbow effect, good looking projector.
Disadvantages: No internal speaker

...This is a really great projector, at a very impressive price (£529 on Play) - the cheapest WXGA I've seen! Many DLP projectors suffer from the "rainbow effect" but with this Optoma there is virtually no rainbow effect at all - this is due to the 4x speed colour wheel, which is faster than you would find in many other projectors. Out of the box, the picture is great. I found the yellows were maybe slightly muted but this can be adjusted by the on-screen menus. The actual projector looks very sleek - the black and silver case looks really classy - and it comes with all the inputs you could want, expect SCART, but don't worry - a SCART adapter comes in the box. Being HD ready, it's also got an HDMI port for your HD-DVD or Blu-ray. The remote is easy to use, and the buttons light up so you can see them in a darkened room. Thankfully...

Simply the best - DX4450

Advantages: Superb print quality for an inkjet printer
Disadvantages: Can be a little noisy.

...I've only ever had a non-Epson printer once and I'll never be doing that again, so when I went out to choose a new printer Epson was my first choice. After much deliberation the printer I eventually choice was the Epson DX4450. Once I got it home and unpacked it, I set about connecting it to me computer expecting the process to take quite a while. I was pleasantly surprised as from unpacking to printing the first document it only took about 20 minutes. Fantastic. When the document had printed I was also exceptionally pleased with the print quality which was far better than I have ever had with my other printers in the past. Being impressed I decided to print a colour document (the first had been black and white) to see how this fared. Again the print quality was excellent and better still the paper was feeding through correctly...

  Epson Stylus DX4050

Advantages: Easy to use, cheap and good quality printing
Disadvantages: Does use quite a lot of ink whilst printing

...I have always gone for the Epson printers for some unknown reason and when my latest printer, an Epson Stylus PHOTO RX425 started playing up i thought it about time i upgraded, also the playing up of the printer was causing a problem with the childrens homework so needed to be sorted ASAP. So off i went to my local PC World on the hunt for a bargin, not that you ever get any of those in PC World!! But i was in luck there was an offer on the Epson Stylus DX4050 at only £39.99 for an all in one printer. I was chuffed as i'd expected to be spending around £70 - £80 for a new one. Apparently this model is the European version of the Epson Stylus DX4000 which is the UK model, however you can buy the European model cheaper - typical that is for UK. So i marched off down to the check-out as quick as possible without trying to attract any...

Epson DX4450

Advantages: A good all round printer and scanner
Disadvantages: Noisy

...This is my third epson printer and the first one I have had that is a combination of scanner and printer. Both the prvious epsons were just printers. I was rather suprised by how big the DX4450 was, but then I was saving room by not having a seperate scanner. It looked quite stylish, black and silver so I decided to give it a go as it was nicely priced. I installed it without any difficulties, although, if it had been my first printer I might have had some problems, there were only brief written instructions accompanied by pictures. The ink cartridges were easy to install and I was up and running within about an hour of purchase. My first impression was reasonably good, although it was very noisy. Once it was actually printing it seemed quieter. I was quite suprised when the ink ran out after what seemed a very short period...

Epson Stylus DX4200

Advantages: Great Print Quality
Disadvantages: None i can think of.

...Epson Stylus DX4200 After having my Epson Stylus DX4000 for a few months I needed a change and decided to upgrade to the next model in the series. As with the other printer it is an all-round great product and has many different features that you are able to use. I found that the printer has many qualities that are same as the DX4000 which include ease of use because it is very easy to use and the printing quality, although it is slightly better than the previous model. The Epson DX4200 offers a complete printing and copying solution for all of the family. It's ideal for nearly everything. It's compatible with all applications and can be used for school projects, web designing, and right down to photo printing.

Ibanez RG370DX - the all rounder guitar

Advantages: Great to play, very nice tones, very durable, good value for money
Disadvantages: None

... Ibanez RG370DX I bought this guitar around 3 months after starting to learn how to play the instrument on a guitar borrowed by a friend. I went to my local music store and played a few guitars in my price range to see what one I liked the most. The Ibanez RG370DX stuck out the most. In my opinion it feels so nice to play - the neck is smooth, the action is not too low and not too high, it is just right. I use the guitar with 9 gauge Roto Sound Orange strings, and I get a really nice sound out the instrument. The guitar is very well contstructed, it is very durable and takes a bit of a beating. It also looks amazing in my opinion, and sounds just as good as it looks, if not better! The quality of sound, in my eyes, is extremely good - you can choose between 5 different pick up settings with the 5 way pick up selector switch, each...

Yamaha DX-100

Advantages: Great budget synth.
Disadvantages: Tricky to program.

...Excellent budget version of the infamous Yamaha DX range of synths. It may only have minikeys, and a limited range of sound compared to it's bigger relations, but you get still get some incredible sounds from this little DX-100. Warm rounded basses, thin string pads and nice smooth solo sounds are all here. Where it really comes into it's own is when you want those harsh sounds to cut through the music like a chainsaw. You have to have a DX in any synth studio, so why not hunt around for one of these. Believe me, you'l thank me when you start to play it! A little difficult to program, but worth the results. Polyphony - 8 notes Oscillators - Compact Digital 4-operator FM synthesizer Keyboard - 49 minikeys Memory - 192 presets, 24 user Cheers, BigHairyKev :)...
