Excellent
By J. Domingues
I have been playing Gran Turismo since GT1 using the joypad. I always wanted to have a feel of whats like to use one of these. Now that I got it, I have to say I am delighted, the best thing I bought in years. The chair is quite easy to assemble, its very well built and I find it confortable. If you add to this the gears module and the Logitech G25, its a heaven. I highly recommend this if you are a serious player/driver. Plus, do not forget that with the new releases of GT since GT3, it became quite difficult to play with the pad, with this set, its a completely different ball game. You will find yourself getting those golds in the licenses a lot lot lot easier (if your good of course :)Like I said, I absolutely recommend this.(you have got to have a brilliant wife like mine though :) that doesn't mind this in the living room,for now at least, bless her :) )

Playseat enhance your driving game experience
By Vlad_1
I purchased this for use with the Thrustmaster T500 RS Force Wheel with Feedback (PS3) inorder to mount the wheel and pedals for the best gaming experience. I am new to driving simulators. So my review will focus on those wishing to get a seat for driving sims. One of the positive things about the Playseat is that it is easy to assemble and comes with step by step instructions with picture diagrams it took me about 40 minutes to assemble (I'm bad at DIY), for the more DIY able I expect it would only take 20 to 30 minutes to assemble. (You don't need any tools and one person can do it)Another positive is that it is easy to move if necessary if you need to pack away compared to other alternative seats (You can split it into two easily once assembled).I purchased this seat mainly for this reason. The weight of the seat is a positive and negative. It is easier to move around but by being like this it is not as sturdy as alternative rigs such as the 'GT Omega Racing setup' and the 'Obutto'(It won't break but the rig may vibrate or move a little when in use).Also it does not come with a stand for your monitor or TV like the other sim racing rigs (you can purchase one separately but the Playseat one is too expensive for its build quality). If your looking for a triple screen setup for PC I recommend going for the 'Obutto'.(The best for PC setups I've actually seen)The seat is coated in a vinyl finish and is fairly comfortable over long periods of use, but is not the best quality or most comfortable seat you can get, however, it folds down to pack away and save space. The length of the Playseat is about 1.2 to 1.3 metres from the back of the chair base to the pedal angle so you need a fair amount of room for it. If you don't have the room for this I recommend the 'Wheel Stand Pro'. The Playseat can be altered for various heights of people. In my practical use I found people between 5ft6 to 6ft should be fine. I am unsure if children could fit this you may need to purchase the Seat Slider (Wii, Xbox 360, PS3, PS2, PC) for a better fit.The steeing column is well built and moves to different heights easily and the pedal mount is sturdy and can be offset for better left or right hand braking. In practice I found the centre column a minor annoyance. However, those who have a bit more money and need a similar compact simseat without the centre column I recommend the 'Gamepod' which I found at my friends to be more comfortable in use with the Thrustmaster T500 RS.All in all I happy with the Playseat it suits my use and enhances games on PC Sims and breathes new life into console games such as Gran Turismo 5 on PS3.(Play this with a proper steering wheel and simseat and then judge how good the game is)I would highly recommend getting this seat for an entry level product to sim racing.I would also recommend it if you have or are thinking of getting a Fantec steering wheel or a G27 Logitech steering wheel. (I got my Playseat from Amazon alot cheaper then the Playseat site so is recommended for the price if you can get it from here.)

Outstanding clarity
By K. Jamison
I bought this because it looked better than the standard 19" monitor. I wasn't disappointed. I also run a KVM and switch effortlessly between two PC systems. There is good contrast and the brightness can be adjusted so it's not too harsh. I can literally sit in front of it for hours at a time editing video. I don't play games on it so I can't help you there. Movies look fantastic, DVDs and TV broadcasts are great. I've seen this sold more expensively elsewhere - this is a great price for a widescreen monitor.Points to Note: Your video card needs to support 1440x900 (either natively or by customising the resolution via your video card control panel). Don't take web advice on downloading an Acer driver to fix the 1440x900 resolution, just buy a better video card for about 40 pounds to get the most from this screen. I have an NVIDIA GeForce4 MX4000 (native 1440x900) in one system and an FX5500 (custom 1440x900) in the other.Warm up time is quite fast from cold. There's an Acer logo first and a couple of seconds pause before your screen appears.The widescreen factor is a big plus for me as I edit a lot of video and I can arrange all of the windows and timelines across the screen. On my old 4:3 monitor, I could never get them all on the screen at the same time...

19" Bargain
By May-Miller
Have had this monitor for around 8-9 months now. I paid £174.00 for it. I have no complaints about my monitor whatsoever. The picture is great, response time seems fine for gaming (have played counterstrike, JK2 & AOE3 on it) colours are well saturated and seem accurate, brightness is not much of an issue although some claim it is. I have mine set to 45/100 most of the time, though sometimes turn it down lower at night. The physical quality of the product is good, with a tidy little button area, the power button is a bit plasticy but have had no problems with it. My only issues with monitor are (a) no DVI input and (b) no height adjustment. At the time I bought the screen, i also purchased this Kensington flatpanel arm-mount: http://www.amazon.co.uk/exec/obidos/ASIN/B0006SIV52/ref=pd_ys_iyr7/026-4719814-5193224 which i have found is brilliant, especially for the price. It saves masses of space, and gives good height adjustment.So, I'd recommend buying this monitor, but also considering (1) do you need DVI? Planning to run dual-screen sometime? Upgrading your PC sometime to a grafix card with only DVI outputs? (2) How low is your desk? How high is your chair? How tall are you? The built in stand only raises the monitor around 12cm off the desk.Overall though, for the value, 5 stars!!

Great Monitor, Excellent Value!
By Rory Marshall
I've had this monitor now for a few weeks, it was recommended to me by a friend who impressed me with theirsOverall, this is a fantastic monitor, although it is not DVI it is still very much worth buying. The resolution is good enough to watch HD 720P video, and the brightness, colour and contrast are brilliant.One issue I have come accross is the backlight leakage at the top and bottom; which can be a little annoying when watching dark movies or games such as Half Life 2/F.E.A.R. this is only minor though and the majority of users will have no problems, especially with the exceptionally good response time.Other than that, I would reccomend this product!

Derwent Water Colour Pencils in Wooden Box (72)
By Ajay
A fabulous set of pencils with a great range of colours to select from, beautifully displayed in a lovely wooden box where your pencils can be permanently organised and protected. However, I have found that the let down is that quite a number of the pencils are continually breaking, which of course results in expensive wastage and disruption to my art sessions. They have been properly looked after, so I am not too sure of they way forward regarding this problem.

Quality Product.
By RosieB
I bought this unseen for our labrador X puppy. It arrived quickly, was easy to put together & is sturdy & well made. As she has grown it is getting a little small, but as long as the journey is not too long she is happy to curl up. She certainly jumps inside without any trouble.The crate is quite tall, I don't have a problem in my 4x4, but in my husband's small estate it obscures the rear view a little. Having the top sloping in means it fits easier, missing the rear window & the back of the seats. When we visit the in-laws it is used as her bed (with the sliding door open).Highly recommended, but if you have a large dog, measure your car to see if you can accommodate the larger size.

Used for 2 Jack Russells
By Allytoli
The crate is used in our Kia Cee'd estate, however it also fitted in my daughter's old N reg Fiesta.It doesn't move about in the boot like a previous crate did.Although the crate's sliding doors are quite high up, my dogs have no trouble hopping into it.The compartments on the top hold quite a bit such as treats, spare leads, wipes, poo bags and more!My dogs have plenty of space to get themselves comfy. The crate is also used as their bed when we are away on holiday.They sleep together, though the divider (which is not included with the crate) would separate 2 dogs if it was necessary.

Its OK
By Kiki
I got this for my beagle. I have VW Golf and it fits in there perfectly although it does obscure the rear window slightly because of it's height. My dog fits in there fine when she's actually in but the biggest problem is that because of the sliding doors the entrance is not that big, certainly not really big enough for the size of dog the size of the crate could take. I ended up sending mine back as for me, loosing my boot for something that wasn't completely right was too big a sacrifice, but if your boot is bigger than a golfs and your dog is smaller than a beagle this will do just fine.

Always the best

Cool enough to make Duane Dibley look cool
By Crookedmouth
I love Oakley sunglasses. They're light, robust and they do precisely what they are supposed to do - protect your eyes from the sun - like nobody's business. I've always had the view that, when it comes to sunnies, it's worth spending a bit more and I reckon Oakley are probably about the best you can get. I bought my first pair (Oakley Frogskins) back in the early 90's and they lasted me ages, putting up with all sorts of abuse, until I drove my dad's car over them one fateful day (as you do). I replaced them with a pair of Whiskers in Australia a few years back and they got their first outing on a whale-watching cruise. The polarised lenses cut out the sun-glare off the surface of the water and gave me a fantastic view of the whales.Now, you may not have whale watching in mind as you browse the net for a nice pair of darkers, but these are fantastic for driving and some sports. They don't afford quite the all-round protection that wraparound sunnies will give you, but the shape of the lenses allows enough ventilation to stop them misting up. My only complaint is that they don't fold flat. That's unavoidable given the design, but it makes them rather bulky when folded up and they don't exactly slip into your breast pocket. I can live with that because when you're wering them, they look the dog's b0ll0cks! I'm no fan of "fashion shades" but these are practical, effective and good-looking.Bargain!

godsend
By mrs d a thackray
This is the best carrier i've ever owned especially with two dogs. I also have the partition as well. When the dogs get dirty and wet they can shake and drip inside the carrier without getting your car wet or dirty. This also applies to dog hairs, everything off the dog stays inside the carrier. easy to assemble and clean. I am now looking for another to use in the house but without the doors on.

Better than a wire cage - ideal for a hatchback.
By Darrin Stevens
This fits into my current model Skoda Octavia hatchback very nicely with rear vision unimpeded. Well made although the sliding doors are a little difficult to move and entry a little restrictive but these are ideal in a hatchback with a higher boot lip. The whole unit is easy to move in and out of the car and not only keeps the car clean but is more dog friendly than an open cage.The divider is useful to provide smaller initial accommodation if you have a puppy - shame it does not come as standard.This size (Atlas 100) would not be big enough for a large male German Shepherd and the low height may be a problem with taller breeds.It cannot be used as an animal carrier and does not fold away like a wire cage. Finding somewhere to put when not in use could be a problem if you don't also use it as an indoor refuge for your dog.Don't pay too much - prices vary and your favourite store may not be the cheapest.

One Happy Woofer
By Geegb
I hunted high and low for a pet carrier that would fit in both our cars (SAAB 93 sportswagon and Golf) and that was big enough for comfort for our 10 month old Irish Terrier, Murphy, to move around. I initially ordered the Atlas 80 but returned it as I felt it too small. On our recent caravan holiday he spent the night cozy in in the awning in his Atlas 100 (with the addition of a memory foam dog bed - lucky woofer!). Anyone considering ordering one of these carriers be it Atlas 80 or 100 - I personally would go for the larger! An Irish Terrier is considered a medium dog but because of the compatments (which are great for storing leads, poo bags etc in) he couldn't stand up or turn around in the Atlas 80. Murph loves his carrier soo much we are now using it in the house instead of his large metal crate. It is great for keeping the mud out the boot of the car and we clean it by hosing it down - all in all an excellent purchase!

Ideal for Podcasting
By Satisfied at Last
Everyone tries to podcast using headphones with mic's - usually Plantronics or Sennheiser.The best way to improve a Podcast - is to buy a better Mic. This the first rule, and easiest.There are several mics to consider, of which Samson and Rode are the two at the top of the tree.This podcasting kit is superb, the shockmount is superb, the stand is superb, and I'm delighted that I bought the kit - the quality is sublime.It has American and European fittings. It's despatched with the LARGER US fittings attached. Now to attach the mic to the stand, you'll need to match up either to American or European fittings, it's up to you, as you get both. If you unscrew the base of the mic, you'll find the neat Europe fittings underneath - its design is brilliant, as it'll work in either continent.It doesn't have a headjack on the mic, for this you'll need the Rode podcasting kit.Most important is performance. If you're on XP, you Must download the presoft software. This makes a tremendous difference!! If you're on VISTA, you can't use presoft, so go to Control Panel > Sound > Samson Mic > Properties > take up the level to around 80 or so.Now it ships with the mic on a low setting, around 6. So you'll initially wonder why the recordings are so quiet, they're still great, but quiet. So take it up to 50, or 80, which ever suits your voice better. This makes so so much difference... but it will now pick up overhead airplanes and dogs barking.It works basically on plug and play. Straight out of the box. Providing, someone's tipped you off about the American connectors being fitted on arrival. :-)

Excellent Microphone!
By Olesya Marsh
This is a brilliant product. Many thanks to the previous reviewer, - I had no trouble with sound and installation (Vista). I am not a musician, I record voice audios only for personal/work use, so I cannot comment on an enclosed software (Sonar LE). I use Adobe Soundbooth and it works very well for me (even better now that I have a decent mic). To give you an example of sound quality: my six year old son loves to record little stories and listen to his voice, from another room I heard his playback and had to come back in to check, because there was absolutely no difference between live voice and a playback. So it sounds great and looks great on my table:)!I bought this set after reading many different reviews on the internet, it seems that the only problem people had with this microphone is that it was too quiet, probably all Vista users like myself. The microphone does come with a low sound setting, so again check the first review here and change the sound settings accordingly. I did however order anti-pop screen just in case. Overall, I am very happy I had enough sense to invest in this product. I can get to some quality work now.
