Default Bought myself some new PC/Xbox 360 bits :top:

Woooo!

Got me a nice LCD 19" widescreen monitor (would have gone bigger but budget and all that ), a 250GB Serial ATA Hard Drive (Maxtor DiamondMax with 16MB buffer) and an HD VGA cable for the the 360 to connect it to the monitor.



Well pleased. Can't wait to get home after work and set it up. Should have a lot more room on my desk, instead of having a CRT monitor that goes from the the front of the desk right back to the wall (which it touches!! )

Only bit of disappointment was that I couldn't get the Samsung monitor with the 4ms response time as they didn't have any. 8ms ain't that bad tho

Skint now!

Gonna have the same problem myself.

Does anybody know of an adapter to plug the red and white leads into so that they will go into the back of my Creative 5.1 Sub in the Aux socket?
