    The video is planned to be released just after Duke nukem Forever or when monitor resolutions are higher than 5000 x 3000 so you can see all the blemishes and paleness of the people singing whichever comes first lol

    I cant remember the exact reason I joined, but I think I found hexus looking for a review of something or other.

    Re: Did you think you would end up staying at HeXus?

    Yup, it was the free postage that dragged me in.

    But really, I have nothing better to do with my time, so that's why I've been here since.

    Re: Did you think you would end up staying at HeXus?

    Russ actually stayed because he realised, at an early age, that the majority of HEXUS forum members were actually not very good looking.. and he raised out "good looks" score by about a million points

    So, with him and me... we keep the looks up

    Any way we can all see our first posts? Forum search limits it to past 250 but it'd be interesting to see what I first wrote on here

    Oldest one I can find is over a year after I joined saying my 7900GT wasn't dying like most people were, swiftly followed by another <24hrs later when it had died!

    Re: Did you think you would end up staying at HeXus?

    Gotta say I came to get some tech advice on a new PC build, stayed for a bit to help share some of the knowledge I'd picked up as a result, and then got hooked into GD...

    This is bunny and friends. He is fed up waiting for everyone to help him out, and decided to help himself instead!

    I knew I was gonna stay cos I like computers, and joined so that I could talk about them with other people who know what I am on about, unlike everyone at college who gets confused.

    Re: Did you think you would end up staying at HeXus?

    In Australia I had OCAU but was aware of Hexus.

    I joined up when moved to the UK.

    I'll definately keep an eye on the community here when I go back to Oz

    Re: Did you think you would end up staying at HeXus?

    Their isnt a poll option that best represents me, and i dont have a debit/credit card so free postage is a no go for me as well. The reason i joined is that my old stomping ground Matchbox 360 (any members of there on here ?) was 'transitioning' and basically leaving behind the limited, yet bad ass community there. I'd seen the Hexus X on a few of Scans products and just thoguht i spend enough time checking the main page and reading Nubs comments - i may as well join and correct them and here i am now.
    Kalniel: "Nice review Tarinder - would it be possible to get a picture of the case when the components are installed (with the side off obviously)?"
    CAT-THE-FIFTH: "The Antec 300 is a case which has an understated and clean appearance which many people like. Not everyone is into e-peen looking computers which look like a cross between the imagination of a hyperactive 10 year old and a Frog."
    TKPeters: "Off to AVForum better Deal - £20+Vat for Free Shipping @ Scan"
    for all intents it seems to be the same card minus some gays name on it and a shielded cover ? with OEM added to it - GoNz0.

    I only have one friend that truly understands what technology is. The rest still think £20 one metre hdmi cables are superior to 99p ones even after I have attempted to explain it to them

    NightshadowUK got me involved with temptations of free delivery however i got totally hooked within minutes.

    Quality material organised on an easy to use site full of well educated individuals. I have learned a lot from Hexus

    Don't. I've got friends that are the same.

    My old mans worse though and when i set up his blu ray player i had to say i got £40 ones otherwise he wouldn't have said yes.


    I think i joined for some tech help and i then stayed to get free deliveries and i just found it a really good community.
    I'm now getting close to 1000 posts.
