Trying to downsize my hardware space - are there any Z77 mITX boards around? Cheers!

Look forward to seeing your pictures later Tom, hopefully they're close enough to the Isle of Wight for you :) Chris

Built a PC for my girlfriend's brother a couple of months back (specs below) and today, after a Windows update, when it boots it shows a black screen with "Loading Windows" and reboots, goes to the "could not start windows...safe mode...last known good config...etc." screen but having tried...

Over the years I have accumulated hundreds, possibly even thousands, of screws. Currently they're all in a big box, totally jumbled up and it annoys me. Does anyone know of any screw storage containers, with lots of little compartments? I've found loads with 10/15 big compartments, but I can't...

Replacing my now rather tatty 600T with something a bit smaller and more aesthetically pleasing; I think I've grown out of the garishly large case phase! Looking to upgrade and downsize my rig all the way to mITX, so H100i, GTX980Ti, etc. all needs to fit. Looking at the following options...

Looking at one of the above for a NAS/HTPC box, obviously I'd like to make it as quiet as possible so looking at passive cooling the CPU, would the G620T be cooler as it has a lower power rating? If so, is there any reason why I shouldn't choose the G620T over the G620, assuming I could get...

The plan is this: to remove all the storage from the PCs in the house, and store it on one central server, allowing access to all files from anywhere in the house, using any PC or laptop we have. It also needs to be able to stream live TV via Freesat, using MediaPortal and TVServer, across the...

Hi everyone, having been a lurker for a long time, I thought it was time to finally register! My name's Chris, I'm from "sunny" Manchester, UK (he says, looking out of the window at the pouring rain!) My specs are in my sig, for those interested, and I'll be posted a build log for my new...
