Thanks m8, but I must have consumed an extra large portion of stupid during the day, cannot get this to work..

Followed your instructions, read thru the original thread twice, still won't work-top part of the screen greyed out only.

Then it dawned on me to zoom out-at 50% I can see the 'Your build info
' text box way off to the left of the screen.out of sight, and I never noticed the horizontal scroll bars at the bottom of the window.:)

Prodigy was an option but went FT03 mini as space was important-small footprint especially.

Aye seen a FT03 in PC World couldn't get over how tiny it was espiecally when it fits most full sized gpu's hopefully we'll see itx case like what Alienware's X51 uses, could concept shame it has an Alienware price tag XD

ROFL you obviously didn't see my discussion with Fluffy during the week where I did exactly the same thing! I was going to say it as well!

IrishMetalhead, What PC world did you see the FT03 in, was it for sale or a demo? Thanks.

IrishMetalhead
