Hey Guys, Just thought I'd show some pictures of the rig I built for a mate today...prepare to drool... Specs: P182 (I think) Corsair HX520 PSU Core2Duo E6600 @ 2.4ghz Scythe Ninja HS & 120mm Fan 4gb (4x1gb) DDR2-6400 (800mhz) BFG 8800 GTS 320 OC P5B Deluxe WiFi...

Lo guys, Mate of mine wants to spend 800-850 on a new PC. I came up with a spec that isn't bad, wondering if you guys can do any better. Must have: Decent Case (ie P180/Eclipse Standard) Core 2 Duo Overclockers motherboard - P5B Deluxe Wifi or better please :) 2gb (+) of RAM 8800 (GTS...

...I just paid to have a copper follow me around for a day. Well, 9-5. On a Sunday. For any of you who now think I'm an utter loony, checkout www.bikesafe.co.uk. Hopefully it'll increase my riding skills, and be the first step to IAM membership, and reduced insurance premiums. Oh, and the...

Right, well as some of you may have seen from my other thread, I intend to bring new life to a rather nice case, which my sister knackered the internals of. The case is this one: So pretty nice looking. Thought it would be a shame/crime to throw it away, and wondered what I could do with...

Right, well my sister managed to kill her rather nice AOpen EZ18, (think the motherboard is buggered) so I plan to strip it down and use the components to build a media machine :rolleyes: So the Components. Still got the PSU from the old one (it works fine) and Hard Disk/DVD Drive. So really...

...I'm finally on the road :D I took my test this morning (failed my 1st for driving over a mini roundabout) and got the Chief Examining officer for the entire South East. :( So best to say I was a little nervous Well, 45 mins later I get the 'I'm glad to say...' and I cannot put in words how...

After much umming and arring, and some excelent advice from the guys in the Hexus forums, I am now the proud owner of an inspiron 6400 :D Piccies - The Laptop closed - The Laptop - open - back facing Face on - Specs wise - Intel Centrino Duo (Core Duo) T2500 - 2Ghz 2Gb DDR-667...

I hope you guys get the results you wanted, I've just had mine and narrowly missed my offer of ABB (I got AACC) but was accepted by the Uni :) Good luck to all of you (meant to post this earlier but got distracted :D) Bring on the Student Lifestyle :) Dave

Well, as most here know the Barton was rather a good overclocker, especially in the XP-M variety. When I put together this PC, I had absolutely no idea about overclocking, or any other variety of tweaking for that matter. But as time goes by I became more proficient with Computers, their inner...

Basically, with uni coming up I'm in need of a new system. As I see it I have 3 options: 1 - A mac laptop - something like a macbook pro 2 - A windows laptop - the Sony SZ1 or the Asus W2JC come to mind 3 - A Shuttle with a 20" Dell widescreen or something Each has their advantages and...

Well, after buying a load of Silverstone fans, (mini review thingy here) and realising that they had proprietry speed controllers (the connections were...well...odd) My trusty fan controller was resigned to the box of spares. The only problem then being how to control the rest of the fans in my...

well, just got the newsletter for the first time, and not meaning to be rude or mean or the like, but it was a bit boring. Now, before you flame me, the content was fine, nice job, some good things coming in the future. BUT it lacked any layout, was a simple text email. Reading it was hard...

Right, just bought 3 Silverstone fans, so thought I'd write a mini-review, predominantly based on my experiences so far, but includes the slight 'adjustments' I had to do to make them fit my case :) Right, first things first - the fans themselves. I bought 1x92mm and 2x120mm. The fans come...
