    HDD prices rising

    Bought a couple of 2tb drives off Amazon last night for £80 each, they were limiting it to one per customer (got my girlfriend to order one). The same drives are £115 this morning. That should last me about a year. I'm just worried what I'd do if one of my hard drives fails? I have all my...

    Intel Chipset Design Error!!!

    This. When you are fairly certain that you will never use anything other than the problem free ports, this little setback is particularly infuriating.

    Seasonic X-650 vx CM Silent Pro Gold 700w

    I posted a build request in gen hardware a month back, and Danny recommended a seasonic x-650 to meet my high demands for efficiency. After reading reviews I fell in love with that PSU. My friend changing his mind about buying my old rig has delayed my new rig until now (will pull the trigger in...

    Build suggestions, all round high power machine. $2k

    I'll wait for other people to weigh in, but for $1900 with only $200-300 on a GPU, you could probably get a 2600k, decent SSD, 24 inch monitor and still have money to spare. Edit: Damn, basically what jeremyshaw said, but he was more useful :p

    Need build advice - Incredibly Cheap Web Browsing and Email PC

    Why not just get an acer revo or something, off newegg? $349.99 and I haven't even really looked for any better deal. (I live in UK too so i dont exactly know how your sales tax works) If its just browsing and emailing, you wont be able to make something as compact and energy efficient as one...

    Premium Feature: Not Blue

    Anyone notice that at the moment you have to pay a hundred bucks extra to get a p67 mobo that isn't blue? Here in the UK I just cannot find a motherboard that isn't blue outside of the Maximus 4 or UD7 for £270+. Theres the sabertooth too I guess... bit of a weird one though. For people who...

    Post Your Sandy Bridge Build

    From what I have seen the 2500k is not that far behind 2600k in anything that doesnt take full advantage of hyper-threading, and if you are trying to set yourself a limit of how much you can spend on that system, there are lots of things you might wanna put that extra $100 towards first. I think...

    Post Your Sandy Bridge Build

    Now you've gone and done it! I'm back to being unsure about my case :D I think I'm gonna add a window in myself, but if you can order a window panel and its anything like the one from the white 600t special edition they just showed off, then I may do that. I definitely cannot hold out until...

    Danny Bui recommended it to me, and every review I've read since has made me quite excited for it.

    Post Your Sandy Bridge Build

    Wow thanks for those comparisons meatsauce. I am moving from a 900 to a 600t for by SB build and those were exactly what I needed. Its quite a bit bigger isn't it? Still, im really looking forward to it. So far my build will vary depending on what else is released in the next 2 to 3 weeks, and...

    GBT Builds a Board that is NOT Fugly

    While I think more blue would be improvement, its only because I think a tiny bit of blue is stupid. Why not make an all black motherboard? Then if you are going for a nice internal look, the motherboard is the blank slate you put your flashier stuff on. It would go with everything. Other...

    Movie Download Costs Man $62,000

    This. This seems the best way to me. Double the charge or even triple the charge of unlimited seems like a good compromise. I'm pretty shocked at the people who think a simple tech mistake like this is worth ruining life over.

    The Real Dynamics Behind Holiday Gifting

    Yeah I really hate gift cards. People think that it is somehow more thoughtful than money, but if you get one for me, you are just showing that you don't know me. Its basically going to a shop and exchanging no strings attached real money for their T&Cs-apply fake money. At a 1:1 ratio. I only...

    £800 UK gaming build

    Well at least with RAM I can just add some more down the line quite easily. Now I've just got to pick a case, which means I will now be on the internet looking at pretty pictures for the next 10 hours. Moving to a case thats not the antec 900 and getting a modular PSU will hopefully make wiring...

    £800 UK gaming build

    Wow thanks for the quick response, and even for pointing me to Scan. I've used them in the past, but a long time ago and I guess I've gotten complacent using eBuyer for things. No worries about the case links, thats gonna come mostly down to personal preference any way and thats a great list...
