    PCSPECIALIST Graphics help

    Images on the PC's screen are made up of square pixels. For anything other than exactly vertical or horizintal lines, the edges of those lines will look rather like steps - known as jaggles. A good analogy is Lego bricks - you can make a ball out of lego but it will not be smooth. Anti...

    PCSPECIALIST The answer, my friend...

    ...is blowin' in the wind. "A dentist who faced charges of breaking wind and belching in front of patients and staff has been struck off." "The General Dental Council in London ruled his conduct required immediate suspension of his registration "for the protection of the public"." SOURCE -...

    PCSPECIALIST looking for something but don't know what it's called

    Something like this... It's a worktop or breakfast-bar support leg - find 'em in DIY stores. Only thing to remember is to that you may need to cut it down - better to buy too long than too short. Most of them have an adjustable foot to get the height just right - makes it easier to install...

    PCSPECIALIST Internet Explorer 9 Release Candidate (RC)

    Looking at IE9, I'd say they've maybe "borrowed" something from Firefox. The reason that FF always seemed so much faster that IE was that IE always loaded graphics first - which meant that you had to wait to see the text or scroll the page - whereas FF loads the text first gicing you...

    PCSPECIALIST Build for Photoshop

    I like that Cooler Master 690 - it's a really nice mixture of elegence and bit of bling. I was really torn between that and the Maelstrom that I bought in the end. It's just a shame that PCS don't do my favourite case - I seriously lurv this one...

    PCSPECIALIST Advice on warranty?

    I'm gutted (understatement of the year) - my PC has a serious problem and if it needs repairs, I'm worried that I'll not be covered by the warranty. I decided to re-seat the cooler on my PC - cleaned off the old TIM and replaced with MX-2 paste - refitted the heatsink & fan - reassambled...

    PCSPECIALIST Not a joke but...

    ...type ABOUT:ROBOTS into the address bar in Firefox 3 and then press enter. (Don't forget to test the button - despite what it says) There are other easter eggs in FF - depending on which version of you have - including various digs at Internet Explorer. Try ABOUT:MOZILLA to see one (it's a...

    PCSPECIALIST Upgrading further down the line.

    I'm wondering if PCS have ever considered offering an upgrade option where someone can pay them to fit a new motherboard and/or CPU etc to an existing PCS PC as an alternative to buying a whole new one. Enthusiasts do such upgrades fairly regularly but not everyone is comfortable with...

    PCSPECIALIST Missing parts.

    I noticed in another thread that the T900 case has quick-release clips for the rear slots. PCS's website doesn't show the inside of the case but you can see that the clips are there in the rear-view photos. Mine came without the clips and I'm wondering if that's normal or an oversight. If...

    PCSPECIALIST Main Website - my email address.

    I recently changed ISP and need to change the email address that's used for my contact details but I can't find an option to do that. I've not got any outstanding orders - I just want to keep it up to date. Am I missing something on the site or do I need to email PCS customer service? Cheers.
