So today I tried plugging an ariel into my one month old 32" TV which I bought from a Richer Sounds store...nothing came up. I tried a different TV on the same ariel point and it worked fine! Off to Richer Sounds we go to ask them if I'd done something wrong. The guy who'd served me when I...

Hello there guys... I'm moving house and I've decided to take this oppourtunity to try and get a nice high tech set up for watching tv/movies and also listening to music... What I'd like to be able to do is to watch movies on the tv (will be a 40" LCD) and then also be able to listen to...

Hi, This build is for a friend - he's registered on these forums as tomd. The budget for it is £120 including the case which is the Cosmos 1000. I got the Cosmos for £60 second hand, but it had been a little 'modded' before & I had to go to pick it up which I did today. Dead line: August...

Hi, My MSI P35 Neo2-FR has just blown (AKA smoke coming from it, wont switch on) It's a bad time for it to blow...so I'm going to have to get a new one... The thing I'm worried about is that it could have taken the other things with it too! The Specs are: E8500, 4GB OCZ ReaperX PC-8500...

I've got an 8600GT, but now when I install drivers I'm getting a BSOD straight away. Where's the fault, is it to do with the card or to do with the software? I'm using windows XP. Thanks, Max

No hardware in it yet but thought I'd post up some pics of what it used to be and now is... Original (I won it in an Aqua-Pcs competition): Almost done: Other Pics: It also has a strut holding the motherboard tray up but it's not in any pictures. Will post pictures of the window once...

I've googled it but I'm not sure. I want a full cover waterblock for the Asus 9800GTX+ 512MB Dark Knight. Is there one? Will the normal 9800GTX block fit it? Thanks, Max

I was wondering if I could use a 8600GTS as a dedicated PhysX card, I've been looking around and seen more people having dedicated cards for this and as I have the 8600GTS spare I thought maybe I could use it for it. Can it be done? If not, what card could I have for it? Thanks, Max

Hi, I'm doing my built atm, however I've come across a problem. My PSU is too long, to fit the Rad in too, I measured it but everything is a little bit longer etc. I have a Tagan 500W BZ modular. I need a shorter one but am not sure where to look. Thanks, Max

I need a connector to raise my right angle fitting higher, sort of a spacer. I think BitsPower do one but I can't find it in the UK. Any ideas? I need it ASAP Thanks, Max

This is a pic of the inside of my temporary rig. It's just a simple set up for now, until I finish my other case. I'll post pics of my project when I have the time :)

I'm looking for some 120mm fans which glow white. I want either a white, clear or black fan body. Any ideas? Thanks, Max

Hi, Just joined here yesterday, I've been visiting the main site for a while but never got round to joining the forum! My main interests are overclocking, case modding & watercooling. I'm currently completing my project of watercooling a SFF PC. I've fitted a 240mm rad in a Silverstone...
