    Hi, Maybe not the right forum for this but oh well, I'll give it a go. Basically I've wanted a motorbike since I was 14 when my big brother first took me out on his GSX 1400. I wanted to get something nice, so my plan was to wait until 21 and take the direct access so I could ride something...

    Hi, I've got SLI GTX670s with 2 monitors. Usually the only way I can get signal on the monitors is having them plugged into the GPU at the bottom. However, this morning I booted up and everything posted as usual, I tried plugging the cables into the GPU on top and it's working fine. Does...

    PCSPECIALIST Asus Xonar DX - Headphones + SP2500 Speakers?

    Just a quick one, I have a Xonar DX with Corsair SP2500 speakers. If I was to get a decent headset (Trittons maybe?) would I have to keep switching the jacks around in the soundcard? Or would the the headphone passthrough on the speaker controller be good enough? Thanks

If you had a compare screen similar to...

    PCSPECIALIST Is there a way to password protect folders?

    Hi, Basically, we recently took on a new employee at work and he keeps on looking at stuff that's none of his business. Does anybody know a way to put a password on certain folders on the server? Or should we just make sure that any sensitive stuff just gets kept on personal machines. Thanks

    PCSPECIALIST Does anybody know any strategic / tactical FPS games.

    Hi, Basically, I'm bored of the one man goes and kills 227 people every mission style of game. I'd like something which you have to be a bit more tactical to get through rather than just running and gunning everything that moves. Any ideas please? Thanks

    Hi, Whenever I try to load a saved game the programme just closes itself with no error message or anything. I've tried restarting a few times but that doesn't help, It's completely up to date. Any ideas please? This particular issue doesn't seem to have come up on any google searches. Thanks
