UPDATE: All items are now listed on eBay - see http://search.ebay.co.uk/_W0QQsassZjda2012QQhtZ-1. OK, time for this to pop back up again I think. I've now got photos of all of this stuff, and specialist packaging for each item to ship them in, plus I've lowered most of the prices as I've...

Right then - I figured it was time to organise my game collection a little better, which has involved rearranging the ones I want to keep and ending up with a whole load that I don't. All of the below are no for sale - they'll end up on eBay at some point if I can't shift them but I'd rather not...

Well, I'm having so much fun trying to get a working monitor out of Viewsonic I thought I'd post about it. I'm on my 5th VP2030b so far, hopefully this one will work better than the last four. Monitor 1: I bought a VP2030b from scan.co.uk in April of 2006, and it worked fine for a couple of...

HI, Got an annoying problem on my laptop - Live Search has hijacked my laptop's IE address bar search and refuses to hand control back to Google, my provider of choice (it didn't even ask!). If I click the search button of use Ctrl-F I get a Google panel, but when I type something in the...

I've just reported this to AMD but it'd be helpful if someone else could test for me to see if it's just my machine. I'm trying to play Dungeon Siege on my rig (Opty 170 @ 2.6Ghz, X1900XT Crossfire, 2GB PC3500 RAM) and I get a dramatic framerate drop when enabling Crossfire. Settings are...

Looking at buying two 8800GTS or GTX cards now the 2900XT reviews are out - a quick question. If I buy two 8800GTSs for £250 each now, and in 90 days the price of a GTX is £250 while the GTS has dropped to £150, can I swap my two GTSs for two GTXs for free? Or is it based on the price at the...

Hi all, I'm drawing up my new build, which will be 680i/quad-core based, and have a quick question about the RAM timings. I know there's a performance penalty associated with running the FSB and RAM asynchronously, but I want to run the RAM as fast as possible. Therefore I was wondering if...

Hi all, Having seen the uninspiring (that's being diplomatic!) R600 benches today, I've made up my mind on my next build, which will now feature either two 8800GTS640s or GTXs (probably the GTSs, depends on pricing) paired with a Q6600. Given that baseline, now the Qs - I've always used AMD...

Just bought this from Germany - it was a good price, but it's PCIe not AGP as it said, so it's no good (need it to replace the 9800XT in the kids' PC)! Have had no joy getting a refund so perhaps someone who has the same or an equivalent AGP card will trade? Failing that I'll take cash. Will...

Hello all, I've just destroyed my MS Wireless Comfort Keyboard - it pushed me too far. Damn thing's been getting on my nerves for ages since the WASD layout was uncomfortable for extended use as the keys were angled outwards and my left ring finger is much longer than my index (this is...

Hi all, Preparing for my new build once R600 launches, assuming it's worth buying, however I've run into a problem. I was going to go with an E6700, Intel D975XBX2 and two R600s in Crossfire, and I'd also like physics acceleration using one of my X1900s if possible. I've noticed that the...

Hi all, Due to server upgrades at work we will have 12 875s (2.2Ghz) going begging later this year - what I need to know is are there any dual or quad socket 940 boards with SLi / Crossfire support as if so I may nab some of them to build my new box. On a related note, how would a dual or...

Evening all, Sadly my PSU passed away this morning - I wasn't in the room at the time but the kids say there were sparks, and then the circuit breaker for all the mains plugs tripped, which gave me a bit of a heads up since everything else went off :eek: Have tried with another PSU and the...

Hi all, Looking for a 24'' widescreen LCD with HDMI, DVI-D, VGA and component inputs which supports 1:1 pixel mapping through any of these sources, HDCP through the digital inputs, and has a P-MVA panel. Must also have a native res of 1900x1200. It's for use with my PC at 1900x1200 (DVI...

Hi all, I know there are a fair few of these sorts of topics but I've had a quick look around and I can't find a monitor that suits my requirements for the new rig I'm planning on building in the new year (Vista/Quad-core/dual R600, also used for XBox 360 and Wii). Since you lot are an...
