So I've got into the whole keyboard scene and am looking to buy a set of keycaps for my board. However, I haven't got the money to buy sets upon sets of caps to find out which I like best. So my question is, is there a (cheapish) way to buy single ABS and PBT (thick and thin) caps? Thanks in...

I won't type much as it's pretty straight forward. Used 4 coats of Halfords primer on my Corsair Raptor LK1. All the pics are here. My review of the keyboard is here. Bellow are the finished ones. Without red keys. With red keys

D-Link NAS Mod This mod started off as a fix for the cooling issues brought about by an old, hot running hard drive and an enclosure with crap airflow, but turned into something a bit more than that. Scroll down for finished pics or read on for more a more detailed build. (will post pics...

I got an old PC free from a friend and was hopeful I could mess around installing loads of stuff on it. I tried FreeNAS but there wasn't enough RAM to do anything even slightly quickly so then I tried Ubuntu but the PC is too slow for it. Specs are Sempron 2400+ 1.67Ghz and 125Mb RAM, no...

Raptor used to be its own company, producing peripherals for the European market, recently they've been bought by corsair. Corsair have kept the products exactly the same though, using the raptor name for their budget range of keyboards. The Raptor LK1 is the most budget of budget at £11.99 on...

Wondering if anyone had seen this. I quite like it, any other thoughts? http://www.tomshardware.co.uk/inwin-in-win-tou-glass,news-45412.html

Cooler Master Xornet Review I've recently bought the Cooler Master Xornet for £17 as a replacement for a cheap wireless mouse that froze up whenever anything was being transmitted over Wifi. I first tried a Corsair Raptor M4 which was absolutely massive and really uncomfortable and not worth the...

Casecom K5-9388 AUTHOR'S NOTE I got this last year and have only just got round to doing a review, since buying it I've cut bits off to make way for radiators (that I still haven't got) and put a window in the side panel, for this reason some photos may be missing or not representative of the...

Posted a thread a few days ago about best mouse but now I need a new keyboard as my current one's broken. It has to be wired (had a real bother with 2 other wireless ones) Media keys would be nice but aren't compulsory do your worst :P thanks

My boss at the paper shop says his laptop's broken, he pushes the on button and the light (no light specified, but a light somewhere) flashes then it turns off, no buzzy or turny sounds. What I think is that the HDD light flashes, the hard drive doesn't start because it's broken and he needs a...

Right, after the disaster that was the Corsair Raptor M4 I need a new mouse. I'll use it for... Office / internet stuff (scrolling and middle clicking a lot) Casual fps gaming I hold my mouse in a fingertip grip and have medium sized hands Any mice from Maplin get extra points as I've got a...

I've just bought a Corsair Raptor M4 mouse and when I've got it home out of the packaging I've realised it's bloody massive and really uncomfortable to use. Does anyone know if Maplin will refund a product for this reason because as far as I'm aware it's not doing it's job properly if my wrist...

Right, so I'm going to upgrade my motherboard, CPU and GPU (or should I say downgrade mobo + cpu for extra graphics). The question is can I just plug in my existing hard drive to the upgraded system and everything will work? Or does microsoft have some mechanism to stop this happening...

Who here uses them? I built my PC fine without one but on a recent facebook post from cyberpower or some other company, there seemed to be loads of people moaning about how the system builder wasn't wearing an anti-static wristband. I'm not sure whether this was just pointless flaming or if...

Hi everyone, just left Tom's hardware forums because there only seemed to be about 5 people who contributed to any sort of community spirit there. Sort of new to PCs in general, only got interested in the last 12 months or so but am eager to start modding away. Guess that's it for now :)
