Very nice, hope it all comes together nicely for ya :)

I don't know if I would call it a local delicacy but It's very popular where I grew up at least. Smoked kippers with scrambled egg and black pudding in a toasted wrap with a touch of hot sauce for breakfast. Certainly, gives me some get up and go once or twice a week. All the cafes used to...

I think that ship has sailed already anyway, they are out of stock of the 6900x now it seems. I do have sympathy for PCS though, the sheer amount of orders they are getting and as soon as something changes stock wise everyone rushes to amend their orders. Keeping track of everything must be a...

Congratulations :ROFLMAO:

I managed to last a few years without an iPhone, but not having easy access to my audiobooks brought through iTunes convinced me to give Apple another chance. I glad I did and will probably stick with them for the future too as long as they don't do anything too crazy.

Weird, my order went into the building this morning so maybe the configurator was having a moment. Will see what happens. My build includes a 5800x as well, I was only a few days ahead of you in the build order so fingers crossed you should be in building soon, if not already. :)

Interesting, I have the 5000D Airflow on order on order with H100x cooler which I would assume both are almost identical in size, there was no mention of compatibility issues. When you say now it tells you, was that someone from PCS contacting you to amend your order or just from recreating...

I had ordered a Merc 319 6800xt as part of my build, the order went through with no stock warnings etc. I had an email saying it was all good with an estimated build date of 30/4/21. I never really expected them to meet that build date so when nothing seemed to change on the 30th I wasn't that...

I was actually looking at the G9 and was surprised how reasonable it can be for what it is. Nearly pulled the trigger finger as one of my monitors is acting like a petulant child at the moment :-(. The missus managed to talk me out of it though :ROFLMAO:

I might have to have a sneaky look around to see if I can pick up an old CRT and relive my youth haha.

I was never sure if I just looked back with my rose-tinted specs on with CRT's but I would swear even now that games looked better on it, and I played better on them. Obviously, monitor tech has come a long way since then, but I will never forget the stares of disbelief when setting up my rig at...

Until About 2010 I insisted on using a CRT monitor I had scored an NEC 22" monitor from my Dads office and it was a thing of beauty. Refresh rates work differently on CRT but I think it was 160hz @ 640*480 (that sounds so pathetic now haha). Eventually, the people I played with forced me to...

Let us know how you get on with it. Especially when playing stretched, I could never bring myself to try it but I get why others do. These days my reactions are too slow for it to make much of a difference to me :p.

Honestly any FPS I could find competition in, mainly CoD 4 Promod, CS:S and CS:GO. Sadly mainly before Esports really took off. Wrong generation and all that haha. I was entering competitions from around 2006 until about 2013/14. CS:S was probably my main game if I had one, I had an embarrassing...

Hallo everyone, I've been a lurker for some time, (partly due to laziness and partly due to never getting the forum confirmation emails.) I'm a former semi-pro gamer and PC enthusiast (not a very good one ha). I drifted away from it all when real life took over around six years ago and I...
