Right i've stumbled onto a problem with my MediaPC - i need more PCI slots and as my current Fatality board only has 1 im a bit buggered! What im after is as follows: - 755 Chipset - At least 3 Sata Ports although ideal want 4+ - 2 or more PCI Ports 3 would be GREAT! - Onboard HDMI output...

Well it would seem that while moving my setup from my old case to my new Coolermaster Dominator that i've somewhere along the way killed the mobo. My guess is that something shorted it as it was quite a tight fit into the case - i've since done a bench test and the board still wont post, just...

I cant seem to find anywhere that has the Coolermaster CM690 in stock? Anyone seen any of these kicking about??

I've bought a Desk Arm Mount for mounting my 24" DGM Monitor but i've stumbled upon a slight problem. The holes at the back of the monitor are not threaded and the screws that came with the mount do not fit the holes (Slip right through them) Now i was planning on going to any DIY shop i could...

It only took them a week to get the correct VA monitor to me but least its hear now. http://images.phunky.co.uk/index.php?fpp=10&did=3-0&fid=4

ABIT IP35 PRO = £97 ABIT IP35 = £73 ABIT IP35-E = £59 Now apart from stuff like extra eSata port, Ethernet and crap that most of us never use are these three boards basically the same? IE: They all use the same chipset, memory controller so should be able to overclock all the same - will...

As i've just spent £450 on new bits to get my current system into a SFF based case i will also be chucking my old bits into an upgrade of the Mrs system. She will be taking the following from me. E4300 - Clocked to 3.3ghz 2x1GB OCZ Ram Abit AW9D Max I've just also bought a 8400GS for her as...

I cant figure out what mATX board to get :( i want it for a lan Rig that i will be putting a Q6600 and a 8800GTS in with it. I want to overclock the Q6600 but i know i will struggle a bit in a SFF based case. Most of the mATX boards out there seem to be based on the G33 Chipset and the only...

Simple - post a screen shot of what ever your working/playing with right now! Click thru for full view if you wish :D

For ages i've wanted a new case but nothing EVER seems to be right for me, im a gamer and go to lots of lans so i need something thats portable! But! on the flipside im also a cheapskate and always heavily overclock the crap out of my kit. So i need my case to be able to have a decent airflow...

There's a 360 of the office here

I just setup my MediaPC last night with the Fatal1ty F-I90HD as the heart of the beast. Im using the HDMI to go to my 50" Sony TV and it worked a treat with XP MCE, so this morning i thought i would go and attempt Vista on it before i settle with it all. The HDMI displayed all the way through...

I have just got hold of a E2140 for my MediaPC Project and im wanting to run it as silent as possible. Im thinking of taking the fan off the stock intel cooler and just running the heatsink on the CPU. Do you think that should cool it enough? there is decent air flow through my case thanks to...

What have you gotta do when you move into your new apartment only to find that you old TV looks tiny in your new front room? You buy a new TV of course! This is the SONY 50" E2010 which is picked up from Comet for £720 as it was ex-display, yes i know its Rear Projection but i like it :P...

Finally got rid of my 7950GX2 at the weekend and got hold of a 8800GTS from a certain place (Wont mention them on here) for £170. What a bloody great card, all my problems i had before are gone and my games are running AMAZING! I can run around with 300fps 80% of the time on CS:S I get a...
