Right, got a bit of a problem, my ancient (but still capable) copy of Pro/Desktop refuses to play ball with Windows 7, so I've downloaded Google Sketchup. I have used loads of CAD software, everything from Pro/D, Engineer, and SolidWorks but this little simple program I can't get to do what I...

Hi everyone, been a while since I was on here, just been really busy with stuff at Uni and my rig got sorta sidelined, but I'm almost through with exams + I'm looking to upgrade my case because I'm getting really bored with my Antec 900. I've decided to get shot of the whole "bling flashing...

Has anyone used this? I have an ageing iriver H10 20GB (Still a solid player tho- nobody made mp3/mp4 players to irivers spec back in the day). Anyway basically last week it started crashing at random, sometimes when i was browsing songs it would just freeze, and i'd have to do paperclip reset...

As some of you may have seen in the "Freebie Celeron Rig" thread I posted earlier on, I managed to cobble together a second PC from some free bits and pieces I acquired. I'm now looking to make this into a Pentium 4 based machine, and was wondering about what would be best out of clock speed...

For some reason no matter what I search on google I keep getting the badware warning underneath every site? Is anyone else getting this? Example:

Just wondering how you find out what type a panel used in a monitor is? Doesn't seem to say on the manufacturer's website and google isn't helping either. E.g. This Samsung or This Dell Thinking I might up my 19" to something a little better to last me until OLED becomes mainstream, and...

Taken from iC Forums: Pretty cool if you ask me. Love massive leaps in tech like this, should negate the need for RAM, your computer could just remember its exact state when you switched it off and then boot up in (nano?)seconds to exactly how you left it! Link...

Finally finished putting together my latest free PC, which is now my backup rig. Got most of the parts such as mobo, HDD, CPU and original Dell case from my college last year. It's an old skt 478 so here are the specs for anyone interested. CPU: Intel Celeron SL6W4 (2.40GHz/128/400) - ouch! lol...

Not sure how many of you guys watch/have watched Pure Pwnage, but the actor who plays the character "T-Bag", Troy Dixon sadly passed away after being involved in a car accident on saturday night. My thoughts go out to his family and friends at this time. I can't imagine what this must be like...

I've just been offered an 8800GT [I'm pretty sure it's the 512MB version, but could be 256] for £40 which I would be getting off my mate at uni when he goes home at Xmas. Is it worth it upgrading from my 7900GS 256 which I run with a nice little OC when gaming of: (Got the Akasa Vortexx Neo...

OK so I just started my Aerospace Engineering degree, and looking at my planned schedule, I see they've got us going on the Flight Simulator latter part of October. Basically I'm looking at getting a joystick and throttle which I could use with FS 2004/10 and FlightGear if I could get that...

OK so I need a 4-pin ATX 12V extender for my CPU cable on a corsair HX520W before I can fit my Xigmatek Cooler. However when I try and find them online, they all start off at about £2 and then with postage end up about £8 which is ridiculous for something that cost 5p to make. Anyone know the...

OK so at risk of sounding like a big nerd [which I am anyway, no worries there lol] I had been putting off watching any of this for ages, been really busy and once I get into something it tends to take over my life for a bit then I calm down lol. Anyway I'd been recommended Battlestar Galactica...

As the title suggests, I'm looking to replace my ageing IDE burner with something a bit more modern so looking at SATA, and the main feature I want is quietness when reading discs. I don't care if it's noisy as hell when it's burning but when I'm watching DVD's/Listening to CDs on the PC I don't...

Hey everyone, I just started playing TF2 and it's really good fun imo. Is there any chance we could get a server up and running for it so peeps from OC3D could have a bash against each other? :D
