Same here! I already had all the peripherals and a LaCie monitor, and I got the Chillblast Fusion Photo111 ...now it's this one: http://www.chillblast.com/Chillblast-Fusion-Photo-OC-VI.htm mine has 3 drives (1 SSD and 2x1TB) and I upgraded to W7 Pro and a few other things such as fans, tower etc.
Our son checked the price of everything, and found he could not build it himself for me for much less than they could, and of course that wouldn't have had the 2 year warranty either.
By the way, I can highly recommend Chillblast for first class pre and after sales service and fully customisable PC's. Even after I'd had it past the warranty, they still help with any problems. (I had a problem with the graphics and my monitor adjustment, and their engineer managed to fix it by remote - installed some extra LaCie management software and adjusted it for me, so not even a problem with their components )
Exactly - I knew of two people in the art business: one a portrait painter who also produces books, the other a painter who also had a photographic & print studio, and both went for MS rather than Apple for photography editing and printing. The latter used Apple for the two websites she maintained, and the former did all his admin work on his Apple machines.
I'd find it difficult to use two computers, and I do have a Notebook that Chillblast built for me a year ago, and also our younger sons Dell desktop computer sat idle in a box upstairs.
The notebook will sync with my desktop, but I still need to physically move things between the two, especially if only one was online. ...then there's the Wi-Fi to think about too! Everyone in the family has iPads or phones that the router recognises as soon as they arrive, and my TV in here is a smart one that updates itself via the Wi-Fi ...all too complex these days!!!I like a piece of equipment for a specific job, with an on and off button and no 'Tardis' type menu
....those days have gone.
That does sound good! I'll take a closer look at them. Is this Android? (All this is something I only touched on with getting a phone last year) I got an android phone and didn't like it, so ended up getting a Windows phone (Nokia 625).
There's an awful lot of technology that has slipped past me because I didn't need it. I got a Hudl over a year ago and it's still in it's box!
Have now Terry,it is better without it.
Pretty sure my first one can't be a tobeco as it has a bag of spares with it.But no other clues.
My 29 awg wire turned up today, but i won`t be doing a build till weekend when the house is nice and quiet Think i will root out my trident for the project.
Did you find it easy to remove George ? Like i said i have only seen it done on youtube, and will probably have to watch it again
Charming!Dont try it yet Trish, give me a chance to open a book and take some bets first
...that's supposed to be serious?
forget about potential damage to the house, what about it blowing my hand off! 
There were just a few things about the android phone I didn't like - only played around with it for a day, but firstly, I didn't like some of the juvenile looking icons it had on it. Perhaps it was just something on that particular phone ..not sure. I do know that when I looked at the Windows Phone, I liked it better, perhaps because it seemed fairly familiar despite the tiles. (Tiles do seem to belong on small screen things though).
I'd had two computers before this one, first was a pain, and the second was a Dell, good but not without it's problems, and had limited capacity. So when I'd seen a lot of good reviews for Chillblast, I already knew where I'd go when the Dell became too slow.
I see what you mean - it is a neat thing and seems to be quite efficient. I like that it has built-in AV that updates itself too.It's Chrome OS, not Android. You can use Google Drive, Docs etc.. It helps if you're a Google fan! Have a look at Samsung Chromebook XE303C12-A01UK 11.6-inch Laptop (check on Amazon).. I've been using mine since Nov 2012 with absolutely no issues - which is nice! Don't worry about the small hard drive - you can either store stuff in the cloud or an external USB drive/data key.
Of course ..didn't think of that!It goes without saying that you'd use your non painting hand
Very reassuring Vince!
I was looking at one on 40 thieves express earlier on (as well as the 50 watt iStick on pre-order) - I think I'm getting more and more tempted
Evening all.
Couldn't get on here yesterday, ended up doing another 12 hour grueller. Then had to help the Wife with some forms when I got home. I do have tomorrow off though, a chance to have a play with a couple of toppers
The Goblin is still going great, I've got it on the IPV at the moment - only at 12 watts with the single coil set up. But I'd say with the extra airflow, it's as good as any of the tanks I've got.
Nice flask Terry - that's a cracking colour mate
I`ll get a nice nickle wire build on it at weekend ! I see FT are selling them now as well.
