    Any gaming/RGB keyboards with cable on the side?

    I have a Corsair RGB gaming keyboard with a very thick cable coming out of the back (at the centre), like most keyboards seem to have. This is an issue because I want to place a midi keyboard behind it, and be able to switch them around when I am using the midi keyboard. The cable is too...

    Forgot about the fans

    Based on this video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tAeoVEY5JRk I think I'll go with a normal horizontal setup for the GPU (4070Ti), and the AiO cooler mounted at the top. So that leaves me with maybe 3 fans intake on the side panel, and 1 exhaust at the back. Should be ok right?

    Forgot about the fans

    I care not at all whether they are RGB. I am more concerned with how I am going to have to configure them and now many I will need. I'm a bit lost on that front. I'd be happy to go with the Lian Li pack of 3 for £45 if all I need to get is 3, but if I am looking at 10 fans (which seems...

    Forgot about the fans

    I put in an order for a bunch of components and for a Lian Li O11D EVO case. Only after placing the order, I realised this case comes with no fans! Now, the mobo/cp/memory bundle I chose comes with a "EK Water Blocks EK-AIO 240 D-RGB All In One CPU Water Cooler". What extra fans should I add...

    'Easy' video editing software

    I use Pinnacle Studio. Easy enough, and affordable.

    Monitor for photography

    Many good quality monitors with good contrast and view angel will be fine to edit photos, but the biggest difference will be made by calibrating it with something like the Datacolor SpyderX Pro.

    Canon R5 + RF 800mm lens

    I have not posted in this sub-forum in a very long time. I used to post quite often in the mid-00s when I got my first SLRs (a Canon 300D, later the 10D, and after that the 5D). These days I shoot mostly birds, armed with a Canon R5, RF 800mm lens, and a lot of patience.

    UK Only - Any sign of that restriction ending?

    I'm planning to buy a full gaming system. I have postponed it for almost 2 years now due to the chip crisis and all that. I have a high budget, but to my dismay, OcUK is still not selling outside the UK. Is there any sign of that ending any time soon?

    Gaming Desktop PC (Aiming for £2000, but flexible)

    Thanks for your replies. I have a much better idea of what I am going for now. The Lian Li EVO looks like a great choice! PS: I do have a NAS box for media and backups, but I also do photo and video editing, the file sizes are huge and not practical to work off NAS. (Sorry I should have...

    Gaming Desktop PC (Aiming for £2000, but flexible)

    I haven't bought a Desktop PC since 2013, so I'm struggling to catch up here. Could you kind folk spec me what you'd go for nowadays with a £2000 budget? It's purely a gaming PC, but with one caveat, space for 4 SATA HDDs + 1 SSD. Happy to go a bit over-budget if it's worth it! PS: I don't...

    Cyberpunk 2077

    Probably a silly question that shows how out of touch I am, but...is Cyberpunk running fine on PS4 Pro these days? Would you recommend it to someone who owns just a PS4 Pro and a mediocre gaming PC (GTX 970 4GB, i5-3570K, 16GB Memory, SSD)? Or should I just wait until I upgrade my PC, or manage...

    *** Cyberpunk 2077 ***

    I have a PS4 Pro, and a modest PC (W7 64-bit, i5-3570, 16GB RAM, NVIDIA GTX970). Which one do you think would run Cyberpunk 2077 better? Or are they both not even worth bothering with?

    Win10 or Win7 for new PC?

    I'm still on Windows 7 and with the support about to stop I am upgrading to 10. I'm dreading it though. I have a lot of software installed on my PC so ideally I want to do an upgrade rather than a clean install, but I don't know whether that is going to create issues with stuff no longer...

    What film did you watch last night?

    The Shape of Water (2017) Beautifully made, but I was ultimately disappointed with how 2-dimensional/stereotypical most characters were and how predictable/cliched the story is. I was expecting something more nuanced/original after all the praise and awards the film received.

    MY CLOUD EX2 ULTRA 2-BAY NAS - Buy populated or separate?

    The MY CLOUD EX2 ULTRA 2-BAY NAS costs £393 populated with 8TB, or £140 without hard disks. Adding 2x4TB green seagate drives would make it £320 total. I am not sure what drives are in the populated version, but is it worth the difference? I'd use my NAS for backups and for media (map the...

    Thanks for the replies guys, saving me from an expensive mistake :) Settling for 6xSATA instead of 8xSATA, would this be ok? https://www.overclockers.co.uk/gigabyte-z370-hd3-intel-z370-socket-1151-ddr4-atx-motherboard-mb-560-gi.html Also what is a suitable cooler for the i3-8350K? Nothing...
