...I rember sesame st as a kid well if you are up eary enough on a week day its still going here on channel 4 at 6.30am! My early riser is definetly entertained by this show.

Advantages: 4 USB sockets, reliable
Disadvantages: OIbsoleted by K7V

...My first Athlon purchase sits in the slot of this motherboard - a board based around the VIA chipset. The board is very stable, has 3 DIMM slots, 4 USB ports (two on a ribbon cable - so you can mount them on the front panel like I have), nice stable CPU PSU, UDMA 66 ports, and boasts the latest upgradable AmiBIOS. It is a breze to install, the instruction book is very good and everything you need comes with the board, including UDMA66 cables and the USB riser. I had fun trying to get windows to talk with my Rage IIC AGP card until installing the drivers from the supplied CD, something which perhaps could have been hilighted somewhere. It's a good board overall, I recommend it to anyone who wants an Athlon, however I understand it probably wont work with Durons and newer processors, or Athlons over a certain speed (800MHz?)...

Advantages: Quite, quality
Disadvantages: Plain design - maybe not for case modders

...Effective air cooling solutions, including an extendible tube to direct CPU heat directly out of the case, 120mm case fan with 3 step speed settings (manually adjusted) which on low speed is very quiet, quite easy access to drive bays, risers etc. HDD fixes into bays with rubber grommits to reduce vibration. For a system with lots of drives/SLI (i.ie. heat output) etc. more fans can be added which does not reduce the internal size too much. Neat and tidy cable/PSU area. Good quality power/reset/USB on case front. AN|D NOT many sharp edges inside. I found the overall build quality very good, even after re-assembling several times it's still very strong. Due to this it does not vibrate even when fans are at full speed and HDD/DVD in full use. Plain, simple, quality and inexpensive... Read review

...**The Woophalor** Honestly, it wasn't me Was upstairs all the time, you see, Really didn't have a clue Quite what was lurking by the loo. It must have been the Woophalor That crept in, silent, through the door And, furtive as a sneaking mouse, Stole all the food from in the house. It took the biscuits, Pinched the cake, The bread and scones Both freshly baked The chocolate, pizza Muffins too, The empty shelves Just grew and grew There are no more crisps Or sweets, you see, He even tried To nibble me! Even the healthy stuff Like lettuce Gone! That Wophalor Was peckish! So there was nothing I could do As he snuck back behind the loo. But he must been really grateful For the food he gobbled by the plateful. (And no, those aren't chocolate wrappers under my bed) **H20** Wets All The Early Risers Drips Against My Plaits Dawn...

Advantages: Very easy to set up and maintain
Disadvantages: Can't see any

...Power Edge is main line of Dell servers. 2950 is most universal base server from that line. If you are not sure what spec should your server have, just order it with one dual core CPU (1333MHz bus, not 1066; makes big difference), RAID5, three HDDs and 2GB of RAM (in two sticks preferably), two power supplies (it's server, reliability is it's second name). You may find, that it's actually all you need. If not, thanks to superb case and internal build you can easilly upgrade its spec. It has two CPU slots, eight DDR2 banks, can take up to six SATAII or 8 SAS drives. It can also take any two PCI or PCI Express cards (depends which standard riser you ordered). It come with minimum 3 years next business day onsite response warranty but it can be upgraded (althow it cost a lot more). From personal experience I have to say that Dell server... Read review

Advantages: Small,Looks Good
Disadvantages: very small inside not enough room for full size graf card

...line CD Drive. The case is only 5cm High so you need to get a CPU Fan that is small enough to fit in the case the one I bought was Hiper's Official CPU Fan, This can be bought from www.xcase.co.uk. If you are wanting to add Expansion Cards please remember that you will need a riser card this is so that the Card can sit side wards in the case as it is too high and you can only have 1 expansion card in the small case. This case is very fiddly and I would not recommend building a pc with this case if you have not done it before, you also need to route the wires so they do not catch the fan when you close the lid on the case. After Finishing the build of the Media Center PC it looks superb and when you put it on your television stand you would not believe that it is really a computer! .The Computer runs a little hot about 35 degrees Celsius...

Advantages: Polyphonic ringtones, Intergrated camera and Colour screen
Disadvantages: The standard of pictures you can get on the camera.

...The Siemens MC60 is a lot better than other Siemen phones. The only downside to this phone is the integrated camera. You can have good pictures, but when you try to take a picture in the dark, you have to have the right lighting. Also when you want to take a detailed photograph you have to get really close to the object that you want to capture. The design for this phone is really good. It has a X shape, which fits in really well with the shape of the phone. You can download polyphonic and monophonic ringtones. Another good feature to this phone, is that you can record any audio sounds that you want, but be careful because you only get 30 seconds to do so. If you are an early riser like me it is always good to have an alarm clock on your phone. The alarm goes of even if you do not have your phone on. If you do by this phone please... Read review

Advantages: I will find out if there is life after death
Disadvantages: I'll be upset if I was wrong

...Bee Kidd a famous ciao writer who is known as GraceMallery passed away on December 29, 2040. She was almost 80 years old and was crossing the street very slowly. The god Thor threw a bolt down from the heavens and the bolt hit her. The funeral will be held in four days at the at the Good Shepherds Anglican Church in Brighton. Pastor Twobyfour will be officiating. Anyone who wishes to attend should be in their seats by 4 a.m. I am sorry that this is so early but I am is an early riser and in fact I don't expect any one to be attending the funeral. If you should happen to be up at that hour and near the church and walking along Dyke Road I hope that you will drop in even if you don't know me. She knew that Princess Margaret asked to be cremated so I made the same request. She hopes that if you do attend my funeral you will wait... Read review

Advantages: Comfort (just), speed, brakes, handling
Disadvantages: Chain drive, lack of luggage handling, low screen

...Do you know the feeling, when you see you bike being wheeled away by someone who's just bought it, and suddenly you think "I shouldn't have sold that"? That's what happened to me with the Blackbird. I had a 1997 one, one with the carbs. In bronze. I had fitted a Micron full race 4 into 1 sustem and Dynajet conversion with K and N airfilter. It gave out 150bhp at the rear wheel. It went like the wind. I saw 200 mph on the clock at the Nurbergring in 2000. I toured Europe on it, I went to work in London on every day and I took it on track days.I did 20,000 miles on it without a single problem. 35 mpg overall. It wasn't the most comortable of bikes. I raised the bars an inch with Genmar risers and fitted a 1" taller screen, that all helped. The chains lasted over 12,000 miles with a Scottoiler. The brakes, although linked, worked... Read review

...early riser there is another bonus-the Albert serves English breakfast from around 7.45 am and I am reliably informed the food is very good.
