I salvaged a couple more laptop sata drives over the last couple of weeks (nothing over 500GB though), also grabbed a couple of 1GB ram sticks (threw one into a spare netbook I have here).
Hmm, perhaps you could help dead. I have a 42" bush plasma (having to use it atm while im saving up for a new DVI-D), manual SAYS with a HDMI cable it can kick out 16:9 computer resolutions but it seems the manual is talking BS :/ it won't go past 1024x768 (4:3 which makes no damn sense). Yes I have connected it with a HDMI cable which according to "help" sites online also say it should sort the problem, it hasn't. Any thoughts?Quote:

Stick to Atari :wacko:
Oh that reminds me. Saw someone selling a vintage Intellivision in the box and a bunch of games on Craigslist the other day for around 150!!!!
Oh wait, I'm supposed to be at work :brb:
I have been so tempted to hook my 2600 up lately but I got way into playing and finishing zelda albw.Quote:
