    Once I've decided what and how I'm going to sell the HTPC I'll stick it in the for sale section and drop you a PM first.

    The Sky+ voucher came through my door! Its just a little slip with a code on for a free Sky+ box, with free installation. I'm seriously considering it and getting the phone and broadband too seeing as my current ISP is pants (BT)

    The SKY BB is actually really good.
    If you have the tv package the SKY Max 16mb is only a tenner

    In my old house i was ony 1.1km from the exchange.
    I got 14.9mb down and 705kbps up

    Now i have moved and am 1.9km from the exchange i get 11.6mb down and 645kbps up

    Although not the quickest (but still damn fast), no-one gets those kinds of speeds for that price so i am happy.

    Re: Price Checks

    Forgot to add my Pinnacle Dual DVB-T Pro PCI card to the list at the top.

    Anyone else got any thoughts on prices for the bits in my first post?
