    Do you ever feel like this?

    I've got an urge to buy a 17" Hercules Proview LCD screen, a Muvo NX and some pc4000 memory and a radeon 9800.

    Why - well i read the hexus reviews and they look cool and want it. I've resisted this long and hopefully will continue to resist, as I don't NEED them, they are nice sure but need is a different thing.

    Does anyone else have the same problem?.

    Life's not about what you need, it's about what you want.

    That's what I always tell my self whenever I about think about ordering something. At the momnet I am looking at getting a new digi camera, there is nothing wrong with my old one, I just fancy a new one, and will prolly end up ordering one before the weekend is over. Got my eye on the new Fuji S7000

    So stop thinking about, that way you might talk your self out of it, and order the goodies

    Hope that helps.

    IMO yes, its got a better colour balance, read Rysard's review on the main site for more information.

    But the crucial thing for me is it LOOKS sexy....

    Welcome..... to my world

    TIG, I'm currently looking at the scan site hovering over the server they got there for £900 - WTF do I need ANOTHER server for?

    I've been described as a Techno-slut, which I think sums it up pretty nicely!

    usually, when i get the urge to spend wads of cash on unneccesary hardware i remind myself of the old cliche - " there's no point being the richest man in the graveyard" & then go for it!
    if it ain't broke...fix it till it is

    I think that the OcUK forums pay Spie back bigtime. You see all the mad overclocks, you see the seti farms, and you are hooked into buying more stuff from them!
    Not that it has anything to do with this, I am just speaking my mind, it is a very persuading sort of advertisment.
    Just get out more, spend your cash in booze, drugs and chicks, it's way more fun
