Loving the ideas! Thanks!

When I've got something to show for it I'll post pics up.

Top quality ideas there, especially Friznit! :rectum: I'm good with DIY but lack artistic vision to create something myself. They'll be out of reach in clear perspex boxes, about head height above the demo/gaming PC's. In something like this, but perhaps less gaudy: http://www.kinabaloo.com/perspex....

I went to the WAP show at the hop farm for years and years growing up. My step dad had a few vehicles there, it was one of my fave events of the year. But in the later years it started to get stupidly expensive for exhibitors as well as day-trippers, still on balance worth it I thought. I've not bee...

As the title suggests, you're my only hope obi-wan kenobi (I love that chrome spell check knows how to spell that!) None of you will remember me, but I was Amblin's bitch when he had a proper job, rather than when he bunked off to become a student and I mainly registered on here to see when he was s...

Now then, I've been looking @ the X-Fi Gamer card, but so far it doesnt seem that you can plug the front panel connector into it? Am I being a tard? Do any decent Sound Cards offer this? I dont want to dig around behind my case to plug my Headphones in every evening. You're wisdom would be appreciat...

Do you like yours? . Yeah they are great, @ 1920x1200 only a few games support that res though. But generally there are fixes if the game doesnt... 2142 for instance although next patch will fix it. They are quite deep, so you'll need a big desk or it may be too close. My desk is kitchen worktop, a...

Thanks for the balanced replies. I've generally found Laptop cpu's tend to run hotter than their desktop counterparts so I'm not massivley concerned on temperature problems. My main concern was voltages etc etc, but I think I'll just stick one in and give it a go. The 3200/400 can be picked up on eb...

Hey guys, I'm bored of waiting for my craptop to boot these days and wondered if instead of having to fork out for a mobile processor like the Turion ML-37 I could stick a desktop cpu in there instead? Its currently a Sempron 3100+ 1.8ghz, but was thinking of putting the Athlon 3200/3400 from a PC w...

Amblin: Employing atiwhores and amdgeeks since about 3 weeks ago. :lol: Welcomes, and get teh proper cods so we can enact all the office politics online where no-one gets arrested. Except maybe Pete. Not Pete at work Pete, Pete up there Pete. :? What he didn't say is that he'd also got the eve free...

Have you tried a direct crossover cable? That would eliminate your switch to determine if that is the bottleneck. Simple idea, I actually hadnt thought of that, I'll give it a go tomorrow. What does CPU usage do when you are making a large file transfer? Some network cards have good onboard processo...

Well, consider that the average hard drive can read/write about 60-90 MB/s. That's 480-720 Mbps, so you'll have a hard time saturating an ideal Gigabit Ethernet connection. Still way above what i'm getting, they are Sata II drives that I transfer between generally Also, you should make sure that the...

In the never ending quest for more speed I have a problem somewhere on my network.... I have 3 PC's that all have onboard gigabit nics which I believe are preferable to PCI nics as they use less system overheads. I have also used pci cards and I get the same results. When I transfer any large (HD Mo...

Also, AMD and ATI, taking the alternative route eh? Love the setup though, the lighting looks great. Well, I always liked AMD from the early days, I actually considred going Intel on my next upgrade rather than the Phenom, but I dont really wanna pay 50% more to get 3fps more. Although I'm still no...

Do you play any other games apart from 2142? Well, just about to buy COD4 having played COD & COD2. Played the demo single player and wasnt impressed but the ability to go home and shoot the boss in the face in a way that doesnt get me arrested pleases me! :lol: Got BF2, the ANNO series, Total ...

Time for me to stop lerking in the shadows and introduce myself! What can I say, proffesional lurker and player of 2142. I work for fellow 5punker "amblin" fetching coffee and other IT Assistant realted duties such as discussing the previous nights gaming, planning game PC Specs, debating ...
