Been wanting a nice old school road bike for a while - gonna respray it
Needs one of these though :
http://www.wists.com...bde941ee0e-orig
the visual thing can control the entire RGB gammut (i try to vj you see) so i can make a visual all red or all blue or green or whatever colour i want really.. instantly..
plus has saturation, great for layer masks
and two "special effects" - sharpness" and "digitise".. gotta buy a plug for it tommorow - cant wait to give it a test

Cool box Darko!
http://www.gthelectronics.com/
It does standards conversion and component out on the SCART socket!
Where can I get a cheap TBC with RGB out?

aaa the ol adapter. i plumped for the slightly less aesthetic solution, now have one of these sitting in front of the telly, looking for a proper place to go:
most awesome thing is streaming movies & tunes direct from the lappie (in the studio) to the telly, works a charm. lovely to bounce a tune down to mp3, stroll out into the lounge and have a listen immediately. now i need some new speakers for it and a better telly.. damnit.. if anything though it's made me rediscover my music collection- finally a new stereo after 10 years ;D
