Thank-you all for taking this in good spirits. I was extremely embarrassed! I've added a link to an Imgur album with a few photo's of the server, including the Windows Server info screen thingy to show everything is healthy. Now I'm going to try to decipher if anyone is still interested and...

Guys, I've just realised my post says £50. This is genuinely a cock-up and should have been £500. I did wonder why there was so much interest so quickly. I feel terrible about this. I should report myself to a mod! Ugh. ****. **EDIT** I've reported my own post to the mods. I am an idiot.

Thanks for the interest! I'll try to get the photo's taken and uploaded ASAP but I've got a really full day tomorrow. I will take the photo's before I do anything else to the PC though, so I will be able to show it working and booting happily. That way anyone who has shown interest will have...

I'll get photo's etc ASAP but in the meantime I'm going to list the specs here so that you can register interest, ask questions etc. Apologies, but I'm pushed for time but wanted to get this on the site. AMD FX-8150 3.6GHz CPU Asus Sabertooth motherboard (the first revision). 16GB (2 x 8GB)...

Yesterday morning, I made a small Windows program to calculate hiring rates and ex-hire sale pricing for bicycles. Visual Basic. Hmm.

I was happy to escape US->UK customs fees for an A4000T. Would probably have been quite hefty! Sent from my GT-I9300 using Tapatalk 2

I could kiss you! I gave the ROMs a squish and everything is working beautifully again :D Thasnks very much and a Happy New Year to you! :thumbsup:

A little while ago I purchased an A4000T, which survived a transatlantic shipping process quite well. I fired it up when I received it and it worked fine. Booted up from the SCSI HD, no problem. Used it for an hour and then put it away. Today I pull it apart, fit an Indivision Mk2 and fire it...

If I were to build myself another workstation PC, it would have an ASUS board, AMD FX CPU, ECC RAM and a pair of Western Digital RAID edition drives in a RAID1 pair. I have this combination as a home server and it's utterly rock solid. It replaced a comparatively ancient dual-CPU Opteron...

As AMOS cannot use AGA, you are limited to 8 colour screens if you want to use dual playfield. I never did use dual playfield, so I only had limited time experimenting. The 8 colour limit is a little bit offset because both 8 colour screens have separate palettes. The limitation is there...

One little issue there is you need Get Sprite Palette *after* Flash Off. There's a chance the palette will change from the still active Flash. If I were in front of AMOS with this problem, I would go and manually sort out the palette to ensure colour 0 is black (assuming you want the background...

I'm only selling my Nexus 7 if I find I'm not using it after I get my Nexus 10. I figured months ago that I wanted a 10" 2560x1600 display tablet. I didn't want a 1280x800, 7" tablet. Then the Nexus 7 came out at £199 and I had the money so I got it. It's in the top 10 of best purchasing...

I played the Horizon demo after playing Forza 4 for the first time this week. Horizon is awful. I was open-mouth surprised at how they have sunk to the lowest level of awful possible. It's like a [bar steward] child of Need for Speed and Test Drive Unlimited, with only all the bad parts...

I used it very briefly when it made an appearance at Bletchley Park. I crashed it within about 10 seconds by attempting to load something whilst it was already trying to load the same thing from disk. I had seen it in action earlier in the day. It was playing multiple (mpeg) video files and a...

I want a gaming version of the Nexus 7. I can plug an Xbox pad into it, but that's hardly an integrated solution. Sent from my GT-I9300 using Tapatalk 2
