WARNING!! Great season, hideous packaging!!!
Hi all!Just a quick note to say that The Simpsons season 11 is fantastic, BUT the packaging is truly awful!!! Gone are the days of the book style disc holders and in are the days of cardboard sleeve thingies!The discs are very awkward to remove without scratching them, and in time they will be pretty wrecked. There is no protective backing at all.It all seems to have been made very shoddily indeed. Of course you could store the discs in spare cd cases, but you shouldn't have to.This dodgy packaging applies to the Krusty head version as well so there's no escape!! I will give this a miss until they repackage the season because it's too much hassle.Take care everyone!!! :o)

Why "Detailed Star Ratings" are a waste of time
Why "Detailed Star Ratings" are a waste of everybody's time ..You may have noticed that Ebay have recently introduced
"Star" ratings in addition to the standard feedback ratings. I would
like to take a brief moment to explain why I do not leave star ratings,
and why they are actually at best useless, and at worst
counterproductive.
First, what are the star ratings supposed to be for?
Allegedly, to help buyers distinguish between the better and worse
sellers on various aspects of service. Unfortunately, in this respect
they fail quite spectacularly. Ebay's own stats show that there is no
discernable difference in the star ratings of the top 10% of sellers
and those of a 'median' seller. In fact, even the worst performing 10%
of sellers have average star ratings well above 4 out of 5 in EVERY
category. (see pic)

The theory test explained
The theory test explained
The theory test is made up of two parts; the multiple choice part and the hazard perception part. You need to pass both parts to pass the theory test. Once you have passed the theory test you can then apply to take your practical driving test.
Taking your theory test
The multiple choice part is delivered using a touch screen computer and the hazard perception part records your responses through the use of a computer mouse button.
If you pass one part and fail the other you'll fail the whole test, and you'll need to take both parts again.
The questions in each multiple choice test vary according to the category of vehicle you're hoping to obtain a licence for, ie a motorcycle theory test will contain specific questions that don't appear in any other test.
For the hazard perception test there are no separate versions for different vehicles, each vehicle category takes the same test, however the pass mark is different for different categories of tests.
Part one - multiple choice
Before the test starts you'll be given instructions on how the test works.
You can also choose to go through a practice session of the multiple choice questions to get used to the layout of the test. At the end of the practice session the real test will begin.
A question and several answer options will appear onscreen and you have to select the correct answer to the question by touching the screen. Some questions may require more than one answer.
For cars and motorcycles you'll be asked 35 questions in 40 minutes and the pass mark is 30 out of 35. From 3 September 2007 you'll be asked 50 questions in 57 minutes and the pass mark will be 43 out of 50.
For lorries and buses you'll be asked 60 questions in 70 minutes and the pass mark is 51 out of 60.
You can navigate between questions and 'flag' questions that you want to come back to later in the test. After the multiple choice part you can choose to have a break of up to three minutes before the hazard perception part starts.
Part two - hazard perception
After the break you'll then be shown a short tutorial video clip about how the hazard perception part works.
The hazard perception part is also delivered on a computer but you respond by clicking a button on the mouse. You'll be presented with a series of 14 video clips which feature every day road scenes. In each clip there'll be at least one developing hazard, but one of the clips will feature two developing hazards.
To achieve a high score you'll need to respond to the developing hazard during the early part of its development. The maximum you can score on each hazard is five.
You won't be able to review your answers to the hazard perception test; as on the road, you'll only have one chance to respond to the developing hazard.
The pass mark for the car and motorcycle hazard perception part of the theory test is 44 out of 75. For lorries and buses the pass mark is 50 out of 75.
At the end of the test
At the end of the hazard perception part of the theory test you'll be invited to answer a number of customer survey questions.
You don't have to answer the questions if you don't want to, and any information given is anonymous and confidential. The survey questions don't affect the result of the test.
When you have finished the test you may leave the examination room. Once you have left the room, you'll not be allowed to enter it again. You'll then be given your result by the test centre staff.

How to Create a Calmer Household
Kids screaming and running everywhere? TV blaring at its loudest and the ping, ping of video games driving you insane? Meanwhile, neighbors and friends keep dropping by and your spouse is hiding in the downstairs bathroom awaiting for peace to descend... Does this sound awfully familiar? If so, then it might be time to start instituting some peace across the household and to try and lead a slightly calmer life together.
1. Set limits. This is the first and most important thing that you can possibly do. This means limits as to the times, levels of noise and activity and yes, bedtimes.
2. Sit down and write a list of the things that seem to be creating the most noise and sense of rushing in your home. These are the first things that you will target with your limits. Consider such things as when you are prepared to receive visitors, limiting the noise level of the TV and limiting to computer usage. And put a ban on running indoors for the little ones.
3. Write a task chart. This task chart must apply to every single member of the household and it must contain days and deadlines. The larger the job that needs tackling, the longer the timeframe you must give it in order to maintain a calm approach to it - bit by bit will get it done rather than rushing around juggling too many things at once.
4. Tidy the clutter away. Clutter enhances the feeling of stress, rushing and inability to think straight. The less bits and pieces in your pathway, the calmer you are going to feel. Not to mention the less cleaning up involved. If the kids must keep so many toys, books, video games etc., make a deal with them. They can be kept in storage spaces but if they are found strewn across the floor more than 3 times in a row, they will be donated to the nearest charity store. You must mean this and you must be prepared to do it for this ultimatum to have real effect.
5. Clean as you create. Cooking creates less mess if you can wash items as you use them in between cooking moments. Same for anything that gets used - retrain everyone to put it back where it came from the moment it has been used. Buy storage bins or baskets with labels if this helps to encourage everyone to do the right thing.
6. Plan meals. If you are always wondering what to make for dinner, spend half an hour a week (Sunday evening is often a good time) to write out a plan of meals. It doesn't have to be incredibly specific or you will dull down the cooking process and spontaneity but at least write "pasta - Mon", "steak - Tues", "pizza - Wed", "sushi - Thurs", "take-out - Fri". At least that way you have an idea of the main meal and can decide on the flavors and style on the night, with the main ingredients at hand.
7. Visualize a calmer home. What do you see? Write down the things that you visualize and turn them into goals to achieve in creating your calmer household. In your subconscious mind, you will unearth a true picture of the house that you'd like to be in - always keep this focus in your mind and work towards it gradually.
8. Ask visitors to respect your limits. Inform visiting family, friends, kids, dogs etc. who regularly traipse in and out of your home that closing time is whatever you set it as. In addition, feel free to set out of bounds hours, such as family lunch times on Sundays etc. This will enable you and your family to connect together over a special meal or activity without outside interruptions. This also includes taking the phone off the hook and closing the e-mail programs.
9. File it or lose it! As soon as it arrives in the post, the schoolbag or the briefcase, deal with it. Open envelopes and toss them into the recycling immediately. Read the letter, bill, note etc. and file it. Make bill-paying time once a week and sit down with the file and deal with it in a matter-of-fact way, one by one. If you get school notes, sign them straight away and put back in the schoolbag, and if money is asked for, write the check there and then and put it into the schoolbag. These actions will take less than a minute but will save hours of worry later.
10 . Set aside calm time. At least once a week, and preferably once a day, set aside calm time for yourself in which you do nothing more than relax and shut out all that is around you. Eventually encourage other family members to join you in this.
11. Select a special corner or room in the house and set it up just for this purpose, with soft pillows, drapes etc. and call it something neat like "Mom's Relaxation Corner" or "Family Downtime Zone". Familiarize everyone in the house with this space as only ever being for relaxation by any member of the family at any time of the day or night. It must be away from TVs, music or other sources of noise and disruption.
Tips
Banning TV one day a week and filling the day with outdoor activities, board games or other non-electronic based and family-focused activities is a really marvelous way to create instant calm and it also creates instant family bonding.
Depending on the ages of your children, vary their chores so that they do not seem so much like chores - one week washing clothes, another week putting out the garbage, another week cleaning the bathroom etc. It varies the routine and also introduces them to a variety of chores that they will need to understand later in life.
If the kitchen is central gathering place, invest in a large table and some good storage cupboards for the gear that arrives with each person. Name a door for each person and ask them to always leave their loose bits and pieces and gear in the cupboard and not all over the kitchen table. Instant tidiness and calm.

Best butt firming exercisers
Looking to firm your butt please see the exercisers below that claim to be the best at doing this I think the squats achieve the best results.
Squats
Stand with your feet shoulder width apart and with your hips and keens in line. Slightly contract your abdonimals to stabilise your torso and spine and slowly bend the knees and lower your body as if you are going to sit down on a chair. Lower your bottom until your thighs are parallel to the ground. Slowly return to the standing position and repeat 15 times.
Quadruped Hip Extensions
On your hands and knees for this one and slightly contract the abs again to stabilise the torso and spine. Lift one leg up

Hi,
I'm quite new on e-bay, but just recently I have had the unfortunate experience of selling a camera to a person who is now trying to send it back as a damaged order. She insisted that it was dented and to cut a long story short no way was it, and she even admitted that she had dropped her husband's camera and had bought mine as an exact replacement.

Lucky Number Slevin
This is a must see film.Make sure you are not going to be interupted, go to the loo first and have a drink ready so you don't need to go and get one.If you like films where you can not guess the story untill it has already happened then this is for you.It has an all star cast with Lucy Liu, Josh Hartnett, Ben Kingsley, Morgan Freeman, Bruce Willis and more. All the actors are great, Kingsley is outstanding as always and puts so much emotion into his caracter that you almost feel sorry for the bad guy.The opening scene in which Willis starts off the story as a narrator will have you gripped and wanting more within minutes.Its hard hitting, fast, confusing, funny and great.This film should be on everyones Christmas list.

The OC Season 1
This is the first season of the show which in my opinion is the best television show on at the moment. In this season we get to know all the characters and join them as they strugle through all the problems that life throws at them, along with a little bit of romance and violence. This show is amazing as soon as you start watching it you get drawn into the lives of the characters and it also features some of the best music you will ever here. I recommend that evryone shoul take a look at this show, its awesome.

A History Of Extreme - the story of ECW Wrestling
NWA Eastern Championship Wrestling:ECW was founded in 1992, under the name Eastern Championship Wrestling as a member of the National Wrestling Alliance. After owner Tod Gordon had a falling out with head booker "Hot Stuff" Eddie Gilbert, Gordon chose Gilbert's friend and WCW alumnus Paul Heyman to replace him. Paul Heyman's first show with the promotion was Ultra Clash '93 on September 18, 1993 at Viking Hall in Philadelphia (which became christened the ECW Arena). Some people have accused Paul Heyman of stabbing Eddie Gilbert in the back and taking his job. The popular belief is that Eddie's drug use and unstable behavior was the real reason for his departure from ECW (this however us merely hearsay and speculation).Paul Heyman felt that mainstream professional wrestling had become like rock

After a few tips on how to keep people or items around you safe while using the Wii Remote, the game's title page will pop up. Press A and B.
There will be several planets on the next page. select one of the planets.
The game will ask you to choose an icon to represent your game file. Select one.
After selecting your icon, select play this file.
Now, you can start playing! Use the Nunchuck to controll Mario, so you can have the power of navigating through the game.
You just have to walk straight forward until a cutscene of Bowser, the enemy, attacking the Mushroom Kingdom.
Take the path (without being hit by meteors) until you get to Princess Peach's castle, and you will experience another cutscene of the castle being ripped out of the ground by Bowser's flying ships, and another about Mario being blasted off the castle into space.
All you have to do now is follow the instructions of the actual adventure of the game and have fun!

Laird of Lochaber - is it a real title?
Can you really call yourself 'Laird of Lochaber' if you own a square foot plot of land in Scotland?Well - not really, despite what the website says, Lochaber Highland Estates (CI) Ltd have registered 'Laird of Lochaber' as their Trademark, so even though their website says you can, if you actually did, they would be able to sue you.Think.

Lord or Laird of Lochaber Con Man selling on eBay
There is a seller on eBay that claims to 'sell' you plots of land in his garden or 'Estate' as he likes to exaggerate. However, under Scottish Law, it is actually ILLEGAL to register a plot of land that is only one square foot. Work that one out. However, do your homework and you can make up your own mind.Doubtless you have seen the press coverage of the fake Order of
the Black Ermine sales from a bogus address in London.

THE GREAT POSTAGE RIP OFF
Hi, ever wondered why some games and dvds are listed with stupid postage costs, its because the seller is over charging you so he/she can get their ebay fees back, a seller does not pay a fee on their postage and they are conning you out of more money.A typical dvd or xbox/playstation/nintendo game packaged in a jiffy bag costs 70pence to post, so take into account the jiffy bag and your talking a total cost of 85pence maximum.DONT GET RIPPED OFF AVOID LISTINGS WITH HIGH POSTAGE FEES, BY DOING THIS YOU WILL FORCE THEM TO BRING THE POSTAGE COSTS DOWN !!

What is Anime?
What is Anime?
Anime is the Japanese shortened word for 'animation'.
In Japan, 'anime' would be any animated production, from Disney to Legend of the Overfiend. Anything that is animated, be it Japanese, English or French. Outside Japan, though, 'anime' tends to refer, specifically, to Japanese animation.
In Japan, anime is a rather popular form of entertainment. It comes in the form of tv shows, movies at the cinema as well as direct to video releases (OVA - Original Video Animation). Unlike in the west, anime has a huge variety of genres - it is not only for children. Nor, on the other hand, is it just sex and violence for adults! Anime is for everybody!
Most of the time, anime comes from a manga - Japanese comics. Occasionally, though, you'll get an anime first, and the manga will follow... but as a general rule, anime comes from a popular manga series. The manga are sold in anthologies, either weekly or monthly, and have a huge number of readers! Even more, if you consider that these anthologies are read once, and left on the train (often by businessmen and office ladies on their way to work - manga, you see, doesn't have the same stigma as comics tend to have in the west) for someone else to read. (They are cheap throw-away items - the Japanese version of graphic novels follow, and these are more likely to be collected.) As with anime, manga comes in many genres for all age groups - manga for businessmen, women, boys, girls, romance, fashion, adult titles, sports and more. It's a huge industry in Japan, and very, very popular.
Anime for children would include Pokemon, Minky Momo ('Gigi' in English), Dragon Ball, Card Captor Sakura and Sailor Moon. If you see the original versions, you'll probably notice there is a lot that has been edited for the western releases. From the anime I have seen, the Japanese version do not try to protect children from death - it actually happens in anime. For instance, in Sailor Moon, the senshi (scouts) die in the end of the first season. (In the American version, they were 'trapped' but got away.) This is not to say that Japanese children are happy with the concept of death - it's just that it is not a 'no-no' topic for even children's anime.
Anime for teenagers would include Ranma 1/2, Urusei Yatsura (Lum), Marmalade Boy and Fushigi Yugi. Again, the 'no-no' subjects of the west are found in these anime. Fushigi Yugi introduces subjects like rape, and Ranma 1/2 has some nudity (though this is definitely not porn - the nudity is mostly kept to places like the bathroom, or as a laugh when the male Ranma changes into a woman and he's still acting like a male.) The different values tend to clash - if this sort of anime was to be put on television, it would probably only make it to pay tv (cable), or on a foreign language channel. But one can hope...!!!
There are also a multitude of anime for young adults and adults - Tenchi Muyo, Cowboy Beebop, Dirty Pair (not what you think!!), Dragon Half, Evangelion, DNA^2, Maison Ikkoku, Legend of the Overfiend, Dark City, Gundam, and Mononoke-hime to name a few. A number of these probably fit into the teenage category, as some of them tend to be fine for all ages.
These anime mentioned above are ones that are (or have been) popular in the west, not only in Japan. There are anime in all genres - romance, fantasy, science fiction, comedy, hentai (erotic anime), drama, action... just about any genre you find in the west, you'll find in anime! As you can clearly see, anime is not just for children!
An unfortunate part of the western mindset is that animation is for children. Parents will sometimes go to a video shop, and pick up Overfiend (tentacled monsters raping women, for a start!) for their kids to watch. Why? Because it's animated. They don't look at the rating, nor read the back cover. And so there are some groups of people totally against anime for this reason.
There is also the sad fact that certain companies put out anime that is only violence and sex related! Manga Video, unfortunately, projects the image that all anime is sex and guns. True, they put out Ghost in the Shell and, in the US, anime like Maris the Chojo ('The Supergal'), Firetripper and the Laughing Target... but most of their videos are Overfiend-like, and that is how they market the anime to the population. I think it's self destructive, but they obviously make money that way.
Recently, though, the foreign movie channel here (SBS) has been showing anime... dubbed, because that's what the Australian anime sellers have been giving them, but anime none the less! Most of the films, though, were Manga Video movies, but they have been showing Patlabour, Porco Rosso and the tv series of Evangelion. It was great to see Eva on regular tv! It's a step in the right direction - anime on tv, uncut and uncensored! (When showing things on tv, the American censors cut out or edit some of the silliest things, IMO!)
Anime is growing in popularity, down here. I hope it continues, and one day, we might see subtitled anime on SBS, and regular anime showings on the commercial networks!
Never seen anime? Go out, find an anime club near you. Find a video store with anime! Pick a genre you like, and ask for an anime in that genre! Watch, and enjoy!

WATERSHIP DONE! A Tale of Piracy (DVD)
I purchased a copy of Watership Down on DVD from Ebay last week, and I'm very upset. Not because the rabbits die, but because t's a pirate copy. It was bought as a present. I signed into Ebay, found a Buy It Now listing about to end, so bought it. The price was around what I'd normally pay for a DVD. When it arrived, it was obviously a copy. How coud I tell?
the inlay card, normally printed on glossy card, was printed on normal paper. There was also no hologram.
the label on the DVD was so blurry I thought I'd left my glasses off.
the disc itself was purple, the same colour as blank DVD roms I'd purchased recently
the small print on the back of the box said "Not for rental or retail in USA or Canada (Region 1), while he listing said it was Region 2
Of course, there was no way I could have known any of this before it arrived. Further investigation of the seller showed:
his high star rating of 290 hid the fact that he had received 13 negative feedbacks, and around 20 neutrals.
4 of the negative feedbacks were in the last month
his feedback is kept private, so you can't read what other buyers have said about him
the copy I bought was one of six he was selling
he currently has 22 items for sale on Ebay. All are DVDs (including more copies of Watership Down)
in August, he changed his Ebay User ID. Why?? Had his previous ID become well known for copies?
If only I had checked the seller properly. I emailed him through Ebay, asking for his comments. He didn't even argue that it wasn't a copy, and immediately offered a refund. But why was this item for sale in the first place? I have reported it, and hope action will be taken. But what it to stop the seller simply setting up a new account and continuing his sale of copied movies.
I have bought many DVDs from Ebay in the past, with no problems whatsoever. I shall continue to buy in the future, but am

BEWARE OF OF SELLERS WITH HIGH AMOUNTS OF FEEDBACK!
After experiencing an appalling transaction with an experienced powerseller with over 16,000 positive feedback , I thought that I should share this information. The percentage of feedback that any seller has can be deceiving and it should be advised that no matter how long the seller is established that all potential buyers should check the negative and the neutrals.
This is especially difficult with sellers who receive a lot a feedback. The percentage of positive feedback will show high because of the amount they receive.

Build up your DVD collection with cheap DVDs
I have been using eBay over the past couple of years to slowly build up my DVD collection. Its a source of good second hand DVDs and as long as your shrewd and keep an eye out for the bargains you can amass quite a large collection for a fraction of the retail price.
The following tips should help you find cheap DVDs and build up your collection.
Buy older DVDsYou should be able to pick up older DVDs (one or two years old) for 99p or less.
Newer DVDs are more expensiveNew DVDs are generally more expensive and you will have to pay a lot nearer the retail price. Watch out for cheap asian imports and pirated DVDs. In general if a new DVD is very cheap and seems too good to be true, it probably is too goo to be true. (For more information on cheap asian imports and pirated DVDs search the other guides on eBay.)
Buy box setsBox sets are generally cheaper when bought second hand. You can buy them for a fraction of the price they cost on the high street. Personally I would only buy items offered at auction and I tend to shy away from the buy-it-now DVD box sets. The reason is that I once bought a quite expensive box set on eBay, only to discover on delivery that it came directly from an online shopping site that had a special offer on! I paid the seller for delivery when it cost them nothing! I chalked this up to experience and will not fall for this again. I advise you to be vigilant and check the prices at online shopping sites before you bid. If the eBay price (including postage) is cheaper, you are getting a bargain, if not try to find a cheaper seller. I am not suggesting all sellers of buy-it now DVD boxsets do this but it does no harm to check prices.
Check the price for a new DVDOnline shopping sites change the prices of their DVDs all the time. As a DVD becomes less popular the price will reduce and there are quite often boxsets and older DVDs on special offer. These sites also offer free postage for items whose value is over a minimum price. Check the price you are considering paying for the item against the price of the item from an online shopping site. Remember to include the postage in both calculations. If the eBay price is cheaper make a bid, if not, try to find a cheaper seller.
Be patientA lot of DVDs are sold on eBay. If your after a particular DVD there will be multiple copies of it for sale. The prices will vary and get higher as the end of the auction draws near. Decide the price you want to pay and stick to it. If you get outbid try bidding on another item. Eventually you will be successful. Most of the bids tend to occur on the last day of the auction in the final few hours.
Check for cheap items with no bids that are about to endSearch for items priced

How to get a good sale for your item
I find that the secret to a good sale is take plenty of good quality photographs. I take all my photos with natural daylight so you can see all the detail. People like to see what they are buying and the more photos you have the better idea they have of what it is you are selling....a blurred, dark photo is an immediate put-off. If you can't be bothered to do a good auction, then why should someone spend their hard earned cash with you. If it is hard to photograph - like black items, then try to describe it as best you can - "a black party top - size 12"could be anything !!!

Prometeia Mach II GT Phase Change Cooler Review
If you regularly read such resources as this one then you have probably seen a lot of overclocks and a lot of experimental equipment. The internet is filled with this new found craze and while overclocking has been with us since the first Personal Computers, it's popularity has increased dramatically over the last few years. Maybe breaking the Gigahertz barrier has installed a new found love of speed into the average consumer as it seems even those with only a basic computing knowledge have tried to find the limits of their CPU's speed. But even the aforementioned user who lacks a rounded understanding of PC fundamentals realizes that overclocking comes at a price and that of course is heat. The faster your CPU is running, the hotter it becomes particularly if you are defying manufactures' recommendations and push the performance levels to the limit. Many have opted for bigger heatsinks and faster fans in their quest for stability and performance while some have taken the more extreme route of water-cooling or even chemical cooling. Water-cooling kits are becoming increasingly mainstream as they offer a relatively easy route to temperature satiability and the prices of such kits have dropped dramatically. But what if you hunger for better cooling but don't have access to the more exotic chemicals it can sometimes take to chill that CPU? Enter Chip-Con with their innovative Prometeia system, a case that refrigerates your CPU for those huge overclocks? Sounds very promising indeed but Chip-Con insist this performance doesn't require a rocket scientist to set it up, sounds even better. Let's see what the Prometeia is all about and whether this is one product overclocking fans should really own...This isn't advanced science class but this also isn't play-group; I'll attempt to run the middle ground here. I'll explain the basic idea behind such systems and how it works in the real world but don't expect me to pass any exams! What we should be interested in here is the practical 'real world' applications of such a system and what it can bring to the overclocker.In order to conceptulize the process you may wish to view this short animation of the process. The layout may be slightly different but the principles remain unchanged.Into the microfreezer a refrigerant is pumped, upon evaporation, and thus now containing a lot more energy as particles are now in a vapor state, the vapor is sucked into the part labeled 'compressor'. The vapor is indeed compressed in a manner of speaking which we can suggest is how they arrived at the name. This compressed vapor is forced toward the condenser who's job it is to remove some of the energy present. The refrigerant is then moved into a small capillary tube thus re-increasing the energy contained within the refrigerant, it's now very close to starting the process again as it's starting to once more evaporate. When the journey is complete it will have reached the CPU again which provides the particles with more energy from it's heat emissions and thus we end up with vapor again.But that explains a powered state, what about startup? In theory the relative pressure throughout the system is constant at startup i.e.. It's all the same. When the coolant is first being sucked out of the microfreezer pressure is built by the condenser. It's also important to note that there is a small amount of oil present in the system, we shall see why below. At startup the system waits for the pressure to build in the condenser, this part is cooled by a powerful fan, and when enough pressure is obtained the drop of oil falls back into the evaporator and the vapor is pushed to the microfreezer As we can see from the image above the natural process of gravity ensures the oil can always end up in the evaporater as doesn't reach the microfreezerThat is how it's visualized in my head and I hope I have at least offered a gateway to a better understanding of the process. Many resources exist all over our beloved 'net so those of you who wish to obtain more information on the subject will no doubt be able to find it within a few minutes of searching.It looks hard, it looks complex, it looks totally unnecessary! All things I'm sure you have thought about systems like this one, I know, I thought it too. But having used this system for a few weeks now it would be hard to turn away from obvious performance gain and piece of mind it gives to you. Imagine never having to worry about heat again, or indeed always knowing you can push your CPU that little bit extra. It's a real luxury to have such piece of mind, something we don't always have a great deal of in this strangely unreliable industry. It's save to say I recommend this system, heck.. It's hard to say just how much I like it.I would be remiss if I didn't report on the support offered by Steen and his team throughout this review. In my eyes this is a huge factor that will affect all future purchase decisions. The support I and many others have received from Chip-Con has been nothing short of amazing. Replies to emails usually came within a few hours at the most and even very late at night. The first initial problem I had was that half of the instruction book had been lost somewhere in transit, the support team were exceptional emailing me various versions of the document and sending a hard copy. They also flew a new CPU kit to England when they knew I was using a TH7II which has a few ill placed capacitors. In fact they identified the problem before I had even opened the unit.Also I have yet to focus on the noise levels of this system, primarily because there are none! Throw those Delta's away because the only real noise is at startup where the main unit's fan is most active. Thankfully Prometeia's fan is only activated when needed most and will auto adjust to a slower speed when not needed. Even when the fan is rotating at full speed, the noise is a lot quieter than a standard case with three case fans. There is a whine from fans at times but it's never intrusive. I'm very impressed at just how quiet this system really is.It's an amazing system but as with most things there are negatives. Firstly that diabolical case, poorly constructed and very hard to manipulate, I would really expect a higher quality housing solution for such a high end device. As I noted before, it's rather easy to change it but should we have to? I'm not so sure. Secondly the boot time will be a problem for people who turn on their PC and expect it to run it for a few minutes only to check emails or suchlike before working. It does take over five minutes to boot but as I also noted previously, you rapidly become used to this and it isn't a problem after a few days. Such amazing cooling does have to have downsides after all. I feel while competitive with similar units, the price will be an obstacle for some. It's an expensive piece of equipment without doubt. If we are to consider what you receive for your money, the price seems almost fair and its more reasonably priced than a Vapochill for example.Those negatives don't really take the shine of such an amazing unit though, there is little that can beat the Prometeia for sheer performance and overclocking fun. It is to Chip-Con's credit they have produced such an amazing unit and one that will last you a long time. Couple that with their superb support and we have a product more worthy of a 'Power Buyer' award than anything I have seen previously. Prometeia will transform your overclocking world, the faint hearted need not apply, those with more performance vigor will revel in this great system.Pros: - 1. A CPU that will never reach above minus ten degrees!2. Ease of installation of the CPU unit3. Very low noise levels4. A well supported product.Cons:-1. Long boot times.2. A very poor case.3. Relatively expensive
