Anyone else looking forward to this? I'm surprised there isn't already a thread on it especially considering its out next week. I loved the last one although when I tried to pick it up again more recently the graphics felt rather dated, they do seem a bit like that in the video but I'm hoping...
So I went to Thorpe Park with the daughter at the weekend and the last ride we went on was the Tidal Wave (Log Flume), I had my phone on me but in my Northface jacket fully zipped up, my coat got soaked but as soon as getting off the ride I removed the phone from my pocket (it wasn't at all wet...
I haven't done one of these for ages, but its still with me although hardly being used these days:
Its 10.5 years old now (71.5k) and it had a major service last year including new brakes front and rear, as well as being remapped to 290bhp which has given it a new lease of life with me...
So this should be an easy one, but I'm not sure whether I am better off going with Skylake or 2011-3 Haswell. Presumably with Skylake being so new the better stuff won't be out until later on? Whilst I do still play games it is really only occasionally now and my main goal is to have as fast a...

I know its the Sandforce chipset and refurbished, but it seems a good deal to me and worth a punt at less than £45. I've just ordered one for my PC and one for my server.
Guys,
I was wondering if anyone can help, I was with Sky and have two servers at home that I remote into when at work etc should I need to. This was all done with a DynDNS account and the appropriate services & rules in-place on the Sky router (locked down so they would only allow access from a...
I currently have 2 x 27" Viewsonic monitors, one of which has recently died (flickers and keeps turning itself off)
I'm therefore looking at replacing both of them, 27" is the smallest I will go and tbh the only sensible option seems to be the Dell U2711 (I'm not interested in 3D)
Anyone got...
Anyone used TheWheelSpecialist? I'm thinking of getting my 18"s done and was wondering how people found the wheels afterwards?
I'm especially interested in those who used the North London branch and / or used the sameday service.
Cheers,
Gareth
I just noticed the i7 980 has taken a steep drop in price, might be a worthwhile upgrade to make before the 1366 chips dissapear:

What is it with Seagate? I always remember when growing up and my old man bought us our 1st PC ( a Gateway 2000 ) and shortly after the HDD completed failed on it, it was ofcourse a Seagate.
Since that time I think I've had alteast one more fail in a desktop PC and heard of many other people...
Guys,
What's the best polisher for a beginner? I'm not new to detailing but up until now have only ever done all the work by hand. After a holiday away driving down country lanes and the car being attacked by a peacock the other half's scenic could do with some proper correction (its about...
What do you guys roll with?
I was interested in Roccat, almost buying the Kone+ Mouse and a Roccat keyboard to go with it, but after reading reviews I was shocked at some of the significant issues around these products, unfortunately it didn't stop there and equally there seems to be a number...
Guys,
Anyone got any experience of mobile internet providers for laptops? I've never needed the use for it, but both my Uncle & Brother have recently bought laptops and have the need for it.
Any experiences/recomendations?
Cheers
What are you guys rocking with?
I've currently got 2 x 20" Widescreen Samsungs but Windows has never really supported it that well and games even less so.
With the addition of a Blu-Ray drive in my new machine I'm thinking its better to go with a single bigger monitor and was thinking of...
I can't help but notice things seem to be picking up in the PC gaming world, it did look like it was dying a death (IMHO) but things seem to be being turned around. Some of these games are available on console but are better played on PC ;)

Hi Guys,
I've been doing some reading up on Watercooling and whilst there are plenty of 'guides' it still isn't very clear, with there being different sizes/types of tubing etc and information on how exactly to piece a loop of components together isn't well covered either.
So for...
WTF is going on??
2008 I paid around £450 and I've had no convictions or accidents/claims since that time.
Last year I ended up having to pay around £550 now the insurance renewal this year has come through at £750!!
Shopping around at the moment, LV quote £850, Directline £1050 with...
Okay guys, this is my current thinking for my new build. Some of the component prices may well be found cheaper elsewhere the purpose of my excercise at the moment is more about deciding on components than finding the cheapest price ( I'm not going to be ordering until the end of this month at...
Guys,
I'm starting to put a 'loose' list of components together and I'm a little out of step with things.
If I have a motherboard that has support for the following:
Memory 6 x DIMM, Max. 24 GB, DDR3 2000(O.C.)*/1600/1333/1066 Non-ECC,Un-buffered Memory
And I'm running an i7 920...
Is anyone else having problems with visual voicemail?
Everytime I go into VV it asks me to set it up (To retrieve voicemail, first set a password and greeting) I do this and save the settings.
The next time I turn the phone off/on and go into VV it asks me to do it all over again. I've...
Better late than never. The 599 GTO was the car of the show for me this year, simply stunning.

I was planning a substantial PC upgrade towards the end of the year (for Fallout Las Veags & Cyrsis 2 coming out really) but I've started thinking it may make more sense to leave my current machine alone and build an additional machine rather than upgrade. So, as with all PC builds I need a case...
I know I've often questioned the need for a gaming pc thesedays, but the motivation behind this is for more than just the games (as in the older components will be used to make a decent home server from). That and ofcourse we have Crysis 2 and Fallout Vegas coming out ;)
I have the exact...
