    Dead 5D Classic - Help Wanted >_<

    For anyone interested...I did ask a few shops to quote for the repair and at the time, most wanted around £300-£400 for it. A couple years down the line I've purchased a replacement CF module off eBay for £30 and done the job my self. My battery is now nackered and I have no lenses to test the...

    GTX 580 Matrix Platinum, GTX 590 or 7950/7970

    £275 for the 590 which means it'll only cost a *little* more than the 580, but with better than 680 performance. If all was right with the world I'd just buy both, rip off the Matrix's cooler & backplate and create the sexiest GTX 590. @tommybhoy & humbug 1100/1200 MHz represents a...

    GTX 580 Matrix Platinum, GTX 590 or 7950/7970

    As mentioned power isn't an issue. I could probably get away with running two 590 (AX 1200W). @Tonester0011 Not sure how accurate that is. Looking at reviews it seems the 7950 (stock) is just behind a regular GTX 580. With the Matrix clocked at or near 1GHz I don't imagine there'd be much...

    GTX 580 Matrix Platinum, GTX 590 or 7950/7970

    I've been offered a GTX 590 for a little under 300 quid, but I'm wondering if going for a more recent card in that price range would be a better bet? I understand in terms of raw power the 590 should be a bit better than anything save for the best of the newest generation (Titan, 690, 7990...

    Dead 5D Classic - Help Wanted >_<

    I picked up a 5Dc back in February which completely took my enjoyment of photography to a whole new level. Obviously I bought this used, but aside from a short scare in March where the shutter stopped working it's been great :D (shutter problem seemed to fix it self after I pulled the CMOS...

    Windows RT VPN Support

    You were absolutely right. I checked with some colleagues and it turns out L2TP connections weren't working for a lot of people. They've looked into it and it's all working perfectly now :).

    Windows RT VPN Support

    Hi all, On a bit of a whim this week, I shopped in my MacBook Air and picked up a Microsoft Surface RT. I've got a gaming PC at home, but I use the portables for work...and here's my problem.For work I need to be able to connect to my companies servers via Remote Desktop Connection, through...

    Boot Camp gone wrong. Advice appreciated.

    If you want to get straight into OSX without holding the Option key, you can set it as the default OS. To do this, boot into OSX, go to your System Preferences, under the "Startup Disk" options, change the Startup Disk to your OS X partition.

    Would a Canon 30D be a good camera to learn with?

    Hi all, I finally got a chance to have a play around with my GX1 today. Down on ideas of what to shoot at home at 9 in the evening (with a not so fast lens), I chose to do this: I was quite impressed with how well the GX1's built in flash performed being bounced. What do you all think...

    Would a Canon 30D be a good camera to learn with?

    My main motivation for going for the 30D was the more robust body over an average entry level dslr. Interestingly (or stupidly :p), I've taken a completely different route and sprung for a Panasonic GX1. My thinking being I'll be able to carry the far smaller camera everywhere and have...

    Would a Canon 30D be a good camera to learn with?

    Hi all, I hope you're all enjoying the Christmas period :). I've been enrolled on a photography course and I'm needing a camera to practice with. I'm looking at the 30D mainly because it offers a more professional Canon body at quite an affordable price (~£180 for body alone). I...

    First Server Room Cabling Job

    The top 'switches' are actually one single device (fairly old model IIRC) so it doesn't matter too much in this situation :p. As each server had two NIC's, the most important thing was making sure each one got connected to a different 'module' on the switch to give some redundancy. I will...

    First Server Room Cabling Job

    Thanks for all the positive comments guys :) it's greatly appreciated! @matthab I was with two colleagues, but they were cracking on with the servers while I did the patching work. As you can see in second picture, the guys who'd been here previously didn't actually rack any of the servers...

    First Server Room Cabling Job

    Hi all, Hope you're all having a lovely holiday period :). I was asked to re-cable a couple cabinets and re-rack some of the servers at one of my companies clients (pics below). This was my first time doing cabling outside of a gaming PC and I'd like to hear what you all think :). A...

    Outlook Search Issue

    Hi guys, I have a client who is having issues with search in outlook. It seems whenever a certain name ('John' for example) is searched, all their recent emails appear regardless of whether or not that name actually appears in the emails subject or body. Any ideas what the problem may...

    Network Usage per Program

    Is there an app in OSX that'll let me see how much data (up and down) is being used by each individual app? Specifically, I'm interested in viewing how much data is being used by the RDP client I'm using to access servers at work. Thanks :).
