Hello folks, it's been a while. It's that time of year where I've decided it's time for a fresh start with my PC, and I've been a little out of the loop for a while so my knowledge of current parts and price for performance is at an all-time low. Help me out with a few suggestions for a rig...

Hey guys, tis I again. So I basically settled on the Fractal Define Mini, but without much knowledge of the case I'm trying to figure out what I should do about cooling. For the Case I'm going to go for positive air pressure, so I'll have 2x120?mm intake fans at the front, and one 120mm at...

Hey guys, So my old PC case is kinda knackered and terrible for airflow, and it's about time for an upgrade anyway, so I was thinking about transferring some of my current bits into a Mini-ITX Lan/Steam Box, and building a new main tower. My current PC has a Sapphire R9 270x Vapor-X 2GB OC (I...

Another dick move from nVidia as they lock out AMD from having any opportunity to view code and optimise AMD cards for Ubisoft's latest title, Watch_Dogs, and this may be an issue for all further titles that use nVidia's proprietary Gameworks toolkit. “Gameworks represents a clear and present...

Anyone got any information on Super Flower PSUs? Looking at the Super Flower Amazon 450W and can't find much information on it that isn't conflicting.

Seen some of these from a League streamer, and I gotta say they look absolutely stunning. I love minimalistic design, strikes me as a fantastic change from the usual LED-coated stuff. They aren't the cheapest peripherals around, but if the build quality matches the aesthetic, I'm impressed...

Hey guys, I'm looking for a nice external DAC that I can have on my desk with two different audio sources plugged into it (Speakers & Cans). I want to be able to switch between each output without faffing around with cables, and maintain the benefit of a proper DAC. Any recommendations? In the...

Ello lads. Just cracked open an old dead laptop and fished out the HDD for a bit of a nosey. Anyone know where I can get a good deal on a SATA - USB adapter so that I can just plug it straight into a USB port on my PC? Cheers.

Hey guys, I picked up a 1m LED light strip for my desk, but it didn't come with a 12v power supply or adapter to actually connect to the strip. Does anyone know where I can get a well made 12v 2amp power supply (UK plug) for a 1m LED strip, with an adapter, and with solder-less connections...

Wasn't sure where to put this, so Off-Topic will do I guess. How many of you are active miners/want to start mining crypto-currencies? Just gauging interest really. It's something I'm researching and hoping to start doing this year, although I don't plan on investing crazy amounts in to it so...

So apparently we're having the lounge re-done, and getting a nice surround system put in, so I thought it would be a good time to consider a HTPC. I've heard a lot about them, some kind of centralised media facility to sit under your TV and be your source of much entertainment. I'm not...

So I want to make my own SteamOS build, but I can't sink enough money into it to actually game on it locally, so I wanted to know what the requirements are for just raw streaming with a controller plugged in? No GPU gives the opportunity to use a low profile case if they exist.. I'd be hoping...

Hey guys, I'm not particularly knowledgeable about APUs, but I want to help a friend put together a capable build for his gaming/recording needs. He's going to be using it for mostly gaming & basic editing/rendering. Think Sony Vegas and Photoshop, and a mix of indie games/Minecraft/AAA...

Sup doods! So how many of you are fans of the MMO genre. I've spent a lot of hours in MMOs personally, you gotta love having awesome gaming along with a vibrant social experience. What MMOs are you playing/looking forward to the most? Earlier I was holding out for Elder Scrolls Online, but...

Haha, finally found this old thing. No 8-pin DIN cable though for A/V, so I'll have to buy one online or come up with an alternative. Also missing a lot of games, so I'm gonna have to have another root around. Any of you hoarding old consoles? I think I'm going to start collecting them :)
