Yeah, that's definitely a bit steep. I'd expect a lot folks will be waiting for a good sale on this one.

I'm looking for a basic, relatively cheap printer/scanner for home use. I don't want to go bargain basement on something and have it break in six months, but I also don't want to invest too much as I really don't do much printing, mostly random stuff for tebletop RPG's and the like (I've...

I'm spending a lot more time away from home lately so I'm looking for some kind of cheap mobile gaming device to use whilst out and about. My initial thought was to (finally) play the Baldur's Gate games, which are available on Android. My phone is the correct size for a phone, so too small to...

I've got a mate who's looking at getting into PC gaming. He would like to play The Witcher series. I can price him up a brand new rig, but he's on a pretty tight budget of around £280. Would it be worth trying to get an old office PC and throwing something like an RX570 into it? If so where are...

I've had an Xperia Z5 Compact for ages. It's a great phone, especially now I've paid off the handset and am paying next to nothing a month on a SIM only price-plan. Unfortunately, it is starting to get a bit slow. Most modern games I try on it just chug along, make the device stupidly hot. I'll...

I'm trying to research my next monitor. I've currently got a 28" 4K screen, and while very nice my hardware can't keep up (I got the panel at a ridiculously good price form a friend). I'd like to sidegrade to an ultrawide 1440p but don't want to absolutely break the bank. I'm happy with 60Hz...

Free copy of Fantasy General for anyone who wants it. Just earned it free from GOG but I already own it. Redeem Link: https://www.gog.com/redeem/PTMEF23D65BA05A7GY Store Page: https://www.gog.com/game/fantasy_general Please reply to this topic if you use it so ohters know before trying.

I keep getting cravings to buy new games. There's so many great titles I don't yet own that I really want to play; Hellblade: Senua's Sacrifice, Kingdom Come: Deliverance, Shadow of the Tomb Raider, Marvel's Spiderman, God of War (2018), etc. Of course that got me to thinking as I really can't...

I recently bought a pair of SSD's to RAID0 cache my large HDD. However trying to get this set-up with an NVMe boot drive is proving to be a rather frustrating, if educational experience. My system is a Ryzen 5 1600, Gigabyte X370 Gaming K5, with 4x 4GB Corsair Vengeance LPX Memory. The drives...

I figured I'd start a thread to document my testing of the new Steam Play Beta on Linux. A short list of games are whitelisted by Steam, but you can override this and try any game. So far I haven't done much: Hardware: Ryzen 5 1600, RX Vega 56 Software: Latest Mesa drivers, latest Vulkan...

I'm a complete rookie when it comes to audio. For the last few years I've been getting by with a set of these: https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B00B3QAFBY/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o05_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 Pretty nasty, right? Doesn't help that I have to completely disable the mic or some games...

I'll be upgrading one of my boot drives soon so I'll be reshuffling the remaining disks around my various systems leaving me a spare 60GB or 120GB 2.5" SSD depending on what I decide. Is it worth using this as a cache for my 3TB HDD in my gaming rig? I've already got a decent SSD in there...

I am 27 years old and have been into PC’s for around 8 years. It started with just gaming as I moved away from consoles so I could run mods on Bethesda games. That led to writing mods and learning basic coding in Papyrus. Those coding skills led to me designing Visual Basic powered Excel systems...

I want to do some design work. I've been working on my own custom case projects for a while and never getting anywhere due my own inability to settle on a specific brief (one minute I want a liquid cooled HTPC, the next a cockpit rig, the next a corner desk build, etc). So I thought I'd start...

So I've been trying to design my perfect PC for about two years now. It's gone through various iterations as my situation has changed. I even bought the system components: a Ryzen 1600 and a Vega 56 and necessary bits to have a functional PC. Now I really want to get that Vega 56 under water to...
