For similar reasons I've been digging for relaxing games that you can jump in and out of. Shapez Satisfactory Astroneer Planet Crafter CreeperWorld4 Most have been out a while or early access so are much cheapness on Steam.

Yup. Made a point of entering details as per previous years quote. To be fair it won't be the first time "if ever" I've rang to check the quote and got a better deal. That's why I don't like the never-ending push to do everything online. The "check the box if you don't want auto-renewal" is also...

It just feels like a lottery this year with them just picking random figures out of the ether. Renewal quote came through at £453 up from last years £313 so over 40% hike. Rang them up and that's their best offer, end of conversation. So a couple of days trawling the comparison sites and around...

Once answered "Yes" to the "Does this make my bum look big question" I'd call that borderline fearless.

Well after hitting the comparison sites, followed by an hour or more of entering my details with half a dozen prospective insurers. About the best I can do is £405.10 down form this years renewal quote of £453.65 but still a fair hike on last years £313. The £405 includes breakdown cover, remove...

Just had my renewal email drop this morning. Only a modest little 2011 VW Polo. But all those prices include breakdown cover. Generally price has been pretty flat for 10+ years. (It's even gone down a little the odd year) This year +£140!!! My schoolboy math's has that at north of 44% increase...

Once touched a spider...:eek:

Still faffing but creeping up on what I hope will be a reasonable build. My basket at OcUK: 1 x AMD Ryzen 7 7800X3D Eight Core 5.00GHz (Socket AM5) Processor - Retail (SKU: CP-3DT-AM) = £349.99 1 x Asus TUF Gaming B650-Plus WIFI (Socket AM5) DDR5 ATX Motherboard (SKU: MB-6K0-AS) = £169.99 1 x...

Nice build there. I like the "less is more look" I'll have a closer look at that case. What's it like for noise and temps?

Mainly because I'm so tight. I'm astonished at what folk spend of high end GPU's. I can't see myself going 'big' in terms of performance and hence a larger GPU. I did check the 4070 dual fan cards and they are around 270mm so room enough for my current plans. It's looks to be happy with an air...

Cheers for the insight on living with case. I looked at the D31 but whimped out at switching to mATX. Likewise I agree screen appears more gimmick than really useful. (Im mulling over the North and the Meshify 2 compact again) I was just wanted something as compact as possible. Lancool 216 has...

I was wondering what are typical temps to expect for GPU/CPU. 4070 recommends a 650W PSU as minimum so not sure me choosing a 850W is overkill and a 750W would be up to the task. That said a little extra headroom shouldn't be a bad thing. Have absolutely no idea what "dual bios switched mode" is...

I looked at the TeamGroup on price. I plumbed for the Kingston as it's shorter only 35mm vs 46mm for the TeamGroup. Plus I'm not really fussed about RGB. Once built case will be in a corner, no one will ever see inside. "amd systems at the minute due to its offset design." Offset? Am I missing...

That's fine we like what we like. Nothing is cast in stone yet anyway. I got down to a short list of the Meshify 2 Compact, Fractal North & Jonsbo D41. I even looked at the D31 but whimped out at the thought of jumping to mATX. I plumbed for the 7800X3D as it appears to be the sweet spot, bag...

Cheers I forgot to mention fans. In truth, doubt I've looked at a fan spec in decades. PC will be sitting on top of my desk so quieter the better if it's not excessively expensive to find something that suits.

Just my Batman outfit. Dang it, I wasn't supposed to tell anyone..:cry:

My basket at OcUK: 1 x Jonsbo D41 Mesh Screen ATX PC Case – Black, Tempered Glass (SKU: CA-02V-JB) = £119.99 1 x Seasonic Focus GX-850 ATX3.0 850W 80 Gold Modular Power Supply (SKU: CA-08M-SS) = £139.99 1 x Asus GeForce RTX 4070 Dual OC 12GB GDDR6X PCI-Express Graphics Card (SKU...

I can only see 3 legs. Does that make it a wonky-donkey?

Gyeongseong Creature. Is also worth a look and the reason the reason I gave Alchemy a go.

Alchemy of Souls. Quite enjoyed the first series, not really the sort of thing I'd normally watch at all. Almost pantomime in places but good fun with lots going on.
