    PCSPECIALIST Mesh WiFi, suggestions?

    Can anybody suggest a decent mesh WiFi system that doesn't cost the earth, i have a mixture of the plug in ones with repeaters etc. but managing them all is a bit of a pain, its only a 3 bedroom terrace (with pretty thick walls) so i'm thinking one downstairs and one upstairs should be enough to...

    PCSPECIALIST, PCSPECIALIST White Cables

    Never been happy with the way the cables ran over the top of the GPU so went with some braided ones bottom routed to sort it out, went for white in a black build, i think it looks OK? Can't for the life of me get the EPS ones in, will need to drop the Rad for that i think, that can wait...

    PCSPECIALIST, PCSPECIALIST Motherboard Power Connections Strix X570

    Just looking at the cabling in my case and noticed that the EATX12V_2 4 pin connector is jammed really tight at the top of the case and looks to be barely in (im not even sure it is looking at the angle its at) doing a bit of reading seems this connection is optional and is used when the CPU is...

    PCSPECIALIST Ultrawide Flat IPS

    Whilst I am waiting for my 3071Ti system to go into build I’m looking for a monitor, I’m was going to go with up to 2 normal 27” 1440p but now thinking about ultrawide as it will suit my space better, I don’t really want curved as it’s primary use will be video, photo editing and graphic design...

    PCSPECIALIST, PCSPECIALIST Cases

    So looks like the CORSAIR iCUE 5000X RGB has drifted out of stock again, is the Obsidian 500D SE a worthy replacement, how do they compare to the Cooolermaster Masterboxes, which is the nearest equivalent?

    Has anybody built an UNRAID server ? Not looking to build just yet but interested as a little project in my spare time more than anything, seems choice of motherboard and case is the most important thing to consider to give as many SATA ports and HDD bays as possible, any thoughts ?
