A dremmel? YIKES!!

I appreciate your advice, but as long as everything is working, I can't see that these issues should cause a future problem. I would have preferred it to be pristine, but I don't fancy DPD throwing it around on a return journey!

I've sent them a link to this thread, but I can't be bothered to RMA, as long as everything is working. They could compensate me with a free keyboard or something :) as my old keyboard has a PS2 connection, and new pc only has USBs :(

There was just the standard polystyrene packaging around the outside of the case, nothing inside the case. It was more the initial fitting of the I/O plate that was disappointing.

I received my new pc a few days ago. The box/packaging all seemed fine and undamaged, however, on inspecting the internals, I noticed the following: 1) The CPU fan was hanging loosely by the cable. It appears that the retaining clips had come loose, probably during transport. I managed to...

Thanks mate. I knew there was something on the forum, but couldn't find it 🕵️‍♂️

Hi guys, My new PC is "awaiting despatch", so hopefully will be arriving this week. Could someone either link me to a relevant post/thread or give me a bit of advice on what I should do regarding initial setup, such as Windows updates, drivers, etc.? I'm guessing Windows will prompt me during...

I've has a Secret Lab Titan for a few months now. I don't know if it's my bony arse, but I find the seat quite/very hard. I've gotten more used to it over time, but the first week or so I was not at all comfortable.

:ROFLMAO:(y)

Hi Noddy, thanks for your reply. I didn't select the stock cooler, I upgraded to the CoolerMaster Hyper 212 (120mm) Fan CPU Cooler Black Edition. Maybe you were looking at my original post?

Thanks guys, but I've already submitted my build, and paid. So as long as everyone agrees I'll be fine with the cooler I've selected, I'll leave it as is. I don't expect to be pushing my machine too hard to be honest.

Hi Junior, Thanks again for your advice. My order is in, so now the waiting commences! I went with the spec below, which included changing the cooler, losing the RGB RAM and I upgraded the 1st SSD to the 980. Case COOLERMASTER MASTERBOX TD500 MESH ARGB GAMING CASE Processor (CPU) AMD Ryzen 5...

Hi Junior, and thanks for the reply. You read my mind, as my 6th question was whether or not I should just use the standard cooler. For some reason I was getting error messages when I tried to post the thread. When it eventually posted, it missed the 6th question and the end of my message. I...

Hi Guys, So after almost 10 years, my first PCS build has bricked. It had been struggling for a while, so it made the decision for me in the end! :) I would appreciate you guys giving my spec the once over, to see what you think, and make sure I haven't made any real blunders. I use my pc...

Hi guys, I'm back looking for my second PCS desktop, as my first one (purchased in Nov 2010) has finally given up. I'll be requesting some help with configuration soon, but until then I'm reading up on some threads etc. and messing about in the configurator. Can someone please answer the...

I've got two HDDs and I'm planning to use the second just for backups. I'm planning to use Macrium Reflect. When I first opened MR, it says I haven't yet created a rescue media disc. Do I need to do this in order to later open up a backup? If I do need to make a rescue disc, can I use any type...

CLICKY :detective:

This nano-pixel technology should lead to some interesting things.

I just saw this on BBC's The One Show and thought I would share it with you guys. You can download a free app and play a little game, which helps research into cancer. Have a look at the link I've posted below and give it a go. Play it on your phone while on the bus or something....every little...
