Just a shout out because I'm a picky as hell about this and have spent months looking for a monitor I can live with. So, after god knows how many returns within the 7 day window I've come across the BenQ BL3200PT. I eventually gave up on IPS for a larger desktop screen, despite the good viewing...

Hey all, This is my review of my new Cosmos II laptop. I realized it's been a few years since I've done a really in depth review of a purchase so I've tried to make it as detailed as possible and in doing so gone off on a bit of a tangent at times, start reading from "Review" to skip all of the...

Hey all, I've been looking to upgrade my monitor for awhile now. For the last year or so I've used a 27" 1920x1080 IPS panel from LG, which on the whole was very good - accurate colour reproduction (a must for my web stuff) decent viewing angles and no noticeable backlight bleed - which I can't...

Here's an odd one, wondering if anyone has any suggestions. Basically I don't use the laptop much anymore because I'm commuting a lot and it's not ideal for that (I was actually in the process of getting it ready for a mate who wants to buy it when this happened). It's been going on for quite...

Just wondering whether anyone else has noticed this? For existing accounts I think this happened awhile ago but you could opt out, but I just created a new one and not only does it force you to use your real name, it doesn't want to let you remove Google+ without deleting the YouTube account as...

http://blogs.mirror.co.uk/investigations/2013/02/passportukcom-charges-for-advi.html I'm trying to flag this up everywhere I can at the moment because it just caught a family member out and I'm really angry about it. Not what you need when you're not working any more due to uni and finances at...

Should start by saying I'm still new to all this. I'm in the process of updating a family members website for their business and have just finished adding a contact form (via a .php script) configured to send an email to my webmail for testing purposes (123reg is the host I use for my test...

I was wondering if anybody else has had this problem. I have a fast connection and Chrome loads webpages very quickly, apart from on startup. I have about 6 tabs set to open and it takes about 5 seconds after the browser launches for them to load. I did find a solution by turning automatically...

Me and some mates got very lucky at Newbury Races over the weekend so I treated myself to a second 670 with the winnings. Yay! I installed the card earlier and brought an SLI bridge from the local computer shop down the road. Now I've never had a multi GPU setup before but as far as I can tell...

Here's my review, including pics. The Rig I was in the market for a high end desktop build and having used PCS for my prior build they were my first choice for doing so again. After discussing the chosen specs (https://www.pcspecialist.co.uk/forums/showthread.php?25014-It-s-That-Time-Again) I...

So as much as I love my laptop which is pretty much a desktop replacement and still offers very good performance, I miss owning a desktop. The old rig from a few years back is still going strong but I retired it to a family member with less taxing needs because the AMD 1090T was beginning to...

If for example, I was to capture audio directly from the output with software (in this case from the onboard audio on my laptop) and save it to a .wav file, is the overall quality of the file still going to be limited/determined by the quality of my sound device? Or because it's saving exactly...

Oh hell yes! What a pleasant surprise, time to revisit the childhood. http://www.pcgamer.com/2013/03/07/age-of-empires-2-hd-to-launch-with-improved-visuals-steam-workshop-on-april-9/ http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=q_MEFt7KrxQ

We're just starting to get stuck into web development on my uni course and I'm absolutely loving it. I'm completely new to this but I sat down yesterday until I got my head around CSS and my work is now rendering perfectly in just about every browser but IE (Using IETester and browsershots.org...

UPDATE: Discard, issues resolved. Hey all, I just thought I'd make a thread incorporating all of the latest up-to-date information regarding the AMD 7970M mobile graphics card, as mentioned here - https://www.pcspecialist.co.uk/forums/showthread.php?22378-ATI-7970M-Driver-Issues As you may...

After reading this article this morning I decided to try and find a copy of DPRK Red Star, the state issued OS used in North Korea. (It's amazing what distractions I'll come up with when procrastinating!) Anyway I managed to download a fairly recent version and I thought I'd share it, because...

So I decided to reset my iPhone after the release of iOS 6 a few days ago, for a general clear out etc. I assumed (it seems wrongly) that my iCloud data would be completely separate from the contacts and photos stored on the device. So when it said it was going to delete all data, I said yes...
