Steve Downey (Bradford)
I use my OOVJ with Numark Cue version 6, hammer it constantly using all the effects & plug ins slide shows, text 2D, videocube, webcam, all simultaneously at times!!!
OOVJ is superb runs a dream and worth every penny! ....Looks amazing too.
(Steve had a rack system and 00DJ previously before upgrading to the latest 00VJ unit.)

Skip is an enthusiastic O0VJ owner.He recorded a short clip of a recent gig using the 00VJ - sorry about the audio quality the volume overwhelmed Skip's camera!
Jivin' Jim ( Manchester )
Just a few words regarding the new OOVJ, for the past three years I have been using the previous model to the new one, the OODJ laptop. I considered it to be the state of the art, that was until I saw the OOVJ. I was astounded, my beloved pcdj had been dragged into the 21st. century, in fact it made my current model look archaic.
The inner components alongwith the stylish gun metal outer case is to industrial specifications. All theoutlets are either on the side or at the rear, this is a real innovation, so is the addition of a CD/DVD player.The programs installed upon the new model are similar to those on the OODJ but they have been honed to near perfection. The unit is really simplicity itself to operate.The screen is massive and along with the illuminated waterproof keyboard is a delight to use. A larger cooling fan has been added, which protects against the dreaded crash encountered by many DJ's using laptops.
The help &assistance given by the manafacturers is exceptional and friendly. I have listed but a few of the advantages of the new OOVJ, pay a visit to the factory & see it for yourself.
In conclusion, if you are considering a laptop for your gigs do not look beyond the OOVJ alternatives just do not compare. One final point how many four year old laptops have a worthwhile re-saleable value? Very few, I have been offered 1200 for my old model so the depreciation in comparison with others is minimal.
James Slater – Starlight Discos (Milton Keynes)
New machine is fantastic, thanks for all your helpand tremendous service. You guys in Hull are unique, in that a customer can speakto a manufacturer direct (an English one at that), who is always on hand for support and advice. Love the new keyboard, and the touch screen is so responsive makes dragging and dropping a piece of cake. Thanks again guys!

Dr Chill
Peter Stanton - or Dr Chill as he's better known - is a Jive, Latin and Blues specialist playing to world class standard competion events. Peter plays at many high profile venues across the UK, recently including the Blackpool Tower (pics above), Butlin's Skegness and The Spa at Scarborough.
As Peter said when he emailed the pictures : "I have attached some photos of me and my wonderful 00VJ at The Modern JiveChampionship 2010 at Blackpool Tower 4-5 June 2010"
Peter still has the custom 4U rack PC system we orignally buitl for him in 2008, but wanted the 00VJ for it's portability, quality and sheer ease of use. Software is PCDJ VJ but recently Peter has added PCDJ Dex due to the excellent iTunes playlist handling. Very useful for Peter as he uses iTunes to manage playlists across several computers.
On a recent visit to our office Peter showed how to switch between the HC4500 and OOVJ for audio output, very useful in case the controller has a fault.

DJ
Brian Chambers or 'Jungle Brian' as he likes to be known has been using the OOVJ for over 3 months now and we touched base with him a few days back to see how he has been getting on. View the video below for his comments.
*** Video to follow after uploading to YouTube ***
"Amazing machine, solid and reliable, touch screen is a dream and my midi controller is now there just as a back up. 2 TB hard drive helps for Video Storage, and side connections are handily placed. Best purchase I have made in sometime."
Dave Drew- Triple D Entertainment
I've been using my 00DJ for the last five years and decided to upgrade when the 00VJ became available. It proved to be a good desicision. Whilst expensive, it manages the software perfectly, ripping tracks is easy with built in CD/DVD player, downloading is just as easy with the onboard wifi. The illuminated keyboard makes life easier coupled with the built in joystick the 00VJ is, I believe the best mobile machine on the market!
