£87 off the Corsair STRAFE RGB keyboard at Maplins anyone?

Get the Lux, dude. See if Scan have any more of the factory refurbs. It's twice as nice. The plastic base on the Strafe used to bug me.
Evo 5 RS
Nice! Bit on the chunky side for me, though. Prefer not having a numpad!

Saw that this morning..... £2,700!

Yeah, pass. Q2 should bring Geforce lineup

I know you're joking, but doesn't support SLI, doesn't even support NVLink like it's counterparts.

Hmmm, not too bad and I can easily provide my boss with a suitable business justification. Oh, I am the boss! FLOL!
As tempting as it is, I think I'll wait for the GDDR6-powered variants (which I am assuming will be along Q2/Q3 next year). I've still got a new motherboard and liquid cooling setup to sort out for the new CPU (when I have time to tear down my 'old' - and very much current - system).
It's good to see they aren't supporting this SLI bo11ocks. Such a fantastic idea but so, so, so difficult and time-consuming to implement properly.

Agree. Burnt my fingers so many times with that. On the very rare occasion it works - it works brilliantly. But then there's the counter-argument of just having a more powerful card to begin with?
Such a shame. Definitely one of those 'could have been so great' technologies - but I don't think its conducive to the card manufacturers bottom line. Imagine how potent something as relatively cheap as four GTX970s could be - if they genuinely shared 25% of the graphics workload each?

I think the only way SLi will survive is to make clear and better results through the likes of DX12 and the fabled ability to chuck several gfx cards all into one pot and utilise them as one.
However, if the manufacturer of two identical series of cards are struggling to make it work (using traditional SLi) and be appealing to the masses - then the chances of it working well with a mixed bag of cards would be slim indeed.
Obviously people like Andy have a far better understanding of the technicalities of all this, but it would have been nice to have seen some decent uptake on it.
Do four 3-cylinder Ecoboosted engines all spliced together, make an interesting V12 variant? Who knows - but it sounds just as technically difficult.

Good point, but I wouldn’t be surprised if in a couple of generations of GPU’s time there will be enough there to power it with a single card. Enough to make it a viable option for the masses anyway.
90% sure I've buggered one of my Oculus lenses. Taking off the headset yesterday and caught my glasses frame, 2 little scratches. Massively increased the god rays on one side. 400 quid for a weeks use.. nice.
No chance of a replacement lens, it's a complete new unit, but f**k that.
Not my first expensive mistake of the year, definitely the last time I do anything with VR. Going to try and carry on using them, but it's giving me eye strain trying to ignore it

LOL, f**k sake man.
They'll take it. They simply-don't-care. Few people have been buying £1,800 CPUs and sending back £300 ones in it's place...Dickheads.

The tech is awesome, and I was getting used to ignoring the screen door effect, but the slightest smudge on either my glasses or the headset, and the headset has to come off. Playing Elite with Netflix overlaid it was great though
I'm going to buy a nice monitor (because I want three) instead
Can I get anything decent for 400 quid?

Hey guys... have any of you successfully cloned a SATA-based SSD boot drive (with operating system on it) to an M.2 PCIe NVMe SSD drive? If so, which cloning software did you use?
Basically my C: drive (Samsung 840 Pro, 256GB) needs liberating and I want to clone this to my Samsung 960 Pro M.2 drive, which will become my new bootable C: drive. I am wary because I can't afford too much downtime if things go wrong. At the moment, I have a fair bit of work on and it wouldn't be too good if it failed and I had to spend a few days reinstalling all my apps, dev environment, client files, etc.

This seems to be a popular choice- https://www.macrium.com/reflectfree
Or I’ve used EaseUs before, not sure if the trial version will do what you want.

Finding this with my new PSVR. Assumed it must be super strong glass until I read in the manual that glasses and even dust will damage it (assumedly if you wipe ridiculously hard)...
When it's on my face I'm loving it, when it's not I'm panicking about how to clean the f**king thing and play without damaging it.
Then you let people have a go and they rip it off their face when something scary happens...

lol they're so f**king laid back it's unbelievable.
I still have this 8700K if anyone's interested. Make me a stupid offer.

Willing to split? Would potentially take the SSD for the right price.
EDIT: Scratch that - sorry mate. Just been able to bag a bargain through my business account. Good luck with the sale!

I’d be interested in the SSD.
Probs gonna try and flog it all in one go to be honest mate.
It's how he starts, gives you a taste, and then you just spend all of your money

Hahahahahahaha!
Amazon refund has now hit my account. Anyone got any stuff I can buy? 😂
After a (probably) 27" monitor, 1440p, 144hz, budget is £400 +/- 50
Don't think I can get G-Sync for this much. I already have 2x 24" screens, so this would be to go in the middle of the three.
If our internal Dell shop actually had decent prices I'd just buy through work, but it doesn't, even with our discount (20%)
Any suggestions?
In the lead so far is this: https://www.scan.co.uk/products/27-...MI_bC72dmC2AIViuNkCh2RkAZsEAkYASABEgLsIfD_BwE
Have also seen this (on offer): https://www.scan.co.uk/products/28-...-monitor-tn-3840x2160-1ms-100m1-displayport-h but I don't think it'll fit on most 3 monitor arm systems (need to buy one of those too). Also, I don't really think I need 4K with a 1070. It's also 60hz which is for paupers.
