MS Entertainment Desktop 8000 connectivity It seems I am cursed, at present the mouse, as my Microsoft Entertainment Desktop 8000 isn’t working :( The Microsoft wireless laser mouse 8000 is simply not connecting… It is seen under control panel/mouse but that’s as far as it goes, there is no response to movement, wheel or buttons.

Haggling for a Dell Ultrasharp 2408WFP As I mentioned earlier, one of our 22″ Mitsubishi’s is playing up so after looking at the options I have settled on a Dell Ultrasharp 2408WFP 24″ Widescreen Flat Panel monitor.

Secondly, it’s not ‘dual band’ it’s ‘one band – or another’ Thirdly, while it promises: “more wireless channels, less interference

Coolermaster Cosmos with Enermax PSU I’ve had my previous case for over a decade and felt is was time to change. The old chassis is a massive, solidly built 1mm steel Supermicro SC750 server case that’s still good enough to hold its own, though it’s been through a few fans and power supply in that
