    PCSPECIALIST, PCSPECIALIST Help with Second Hand PC from Fb marketplace!

    Hi guys, Looking at purchasing this listing on fb marketplace for my bf. He's currently eeking out a GTX1070 gaming laptop. Is super into new games etc but we're not ready for a full super build just yet. I thought this might be a good start? We have no peripherals either yet (cause laptop)...

    Thank you for this. I guess I will be buying a new desk soon then! Will definitely be going for an UW :)

    I get that but with the desk I've got - if I centre the 34" screen to the sitting position of the desk, 1/4 of the screen will be seen to be protruding past the edge of the desk... Not very pleasing, aesthetically.

    Not that I know nearly as much as either of you, however, in the end, I am happy with the 5900x as it is within budget especially if it will prevent bottlenecking in the future. Quick question on monitors though, I've found that ultrawides don't come in a size smaller than 34". I'm looking at...

    Sweet, thank you for that. I am being biased with the Intel, it's all in the head really. Therefore, I am happy to bite my tongue and go for the Ryzen. Additionally, I didn't realise that the 3070Ti was cheaper than the 3070 currently. I've tweaked the build you've done. Removed the HDD and...

    Hi there, My PCS laptop has recently died and is unfixable, therefore I am looking towards purchasing a tower. I have a 1TB Samsung 2.5" SSD in the laptop currently which I believe will be compatible with the new tower. My budget is around 2.5k for the tower, however, I do also have around...

    PCSPECIALIST, PCSPECIALIST Dead Motherboard? Where to go from here? :(

    This is very interesting and I've had lots of fun reading up on it! I will attempt to acquire a can of compressed air. Will be a few days before I can try it out though. Thank you very much! Forgot to mention, RS do a special freeze spray... Might I be better off with this than your general can...

    Before taking it to the local tech shop, it had been discharged completely and powered off for just over 24 hours. It then booted up as normal. However, after trying this again in the last couple of days - absolute nada still. Worth trying again?

    3 Year Silver Warranty (1 Year Collect & Return, 1 Year Parts, 3 Year Labour). So, only Labour left.

    I'd tried that previously and have just given it another shot. Unfortunately, no such luck :( Thanks for the suggestion though!

    PCSPECIALIST, PCSPECIALIST Dead Motherboard? Where to go from here? :(

    Hi, Coming up to just over 2 years since purchasing, my laptop will not boot. When powered on, the keyboard backlight comes on and the fans run momentarily but absolutely nothing comes up on the screen. I have tried almost everything from plugging into the telly to check the screen, reseating...
