Thanks, I don't see one on there, is it an optional extra or am I missing something?

Hi, As per subject, are there any fractal design cases which allow for a single Optical drive? Can't seem to find any?

Because I think that for my programming environment, 70% of the overall performance comes from the single-threaded performance of the CPU (raw clock speed) and then the remaining 30% comes from just having some additional cores available for background tasks. It's not like video encoding or 3d...

Thanks for all the replies everyone, some great ideas there. I think people often underestimate the power required for windows software development. My current i7 quad core iMac with 32GB ram is constantly struggles for resources, hence why I need more power. I think on balance I'm probably...

Honestly my questions are genuine ones, I don't know what hardware best suits my workload For example, should I get a ThreadRipper CPU or is the intel i9-7900X better? Or is the i9 overkill - can you get better or similar performance from a cheaper CPU by overclocking it? Are all motherboards...

Guessing what I'm asking for is perhaps a little too specialised? Is there any more info I could give which might help you guys with offering recommendations?

Hey Guys, I've been away from PCs for a while so I'd appreciate some help to build out a new developer PC. I'll be running Windows 10, Visual Studio (with Resharper), SQL Server, Chrome and that's about it. My main needs/wants:- Performance in Visual Studio is the number one priority Need to...

If I get an O2 Simplicity Sim and the Unlimited data bolt-on that would give me EDGE access wouldn't it? Seeing as it's only 30 days notice that would make it pretty much as good as PAYG

Thanks for the replies. Have read the sticky thoroughly but it seems things have changed a bit over the last few days which is why I wanted to clarify. So, just to clarify point 3, I could use a O2 PAYG sim in the phone and still receive the full functionality (Edge/Wifi etc) after jailbreaking...

Hi, I've been looking into getting an iPhone for the last couple of days and I just want to check that I understand it all correctly I can buy an iphone without taking out a contract from O2/Apple/CPW stores I can then activate it via itunes on an official O2 contract or, I can...

I know, I did the same but the download doesn't exist and various other people have stated that these drivers aren't available. Any suggestions for alternatives?

Hey Guys, I'm trying to find the a mobo to run windows 2003 server with the following - onboard VGA - 6 or more SATA 2 ports - 1 or more ATA ports - Gigabit Lan - Socket 775 I thought I'd found what I wanted with the Gigabyte GA-G33-DS3R but it turns out it uses the Realtek RTL8111B...

Thanks for the help guys. One last question (I promise :) ) - would the E4400 be better than the 2160 or is it not really needed?

Thanks for the feedback chaps. How about this (I added a new PSU also because he's had problems with stability on his current system) and still on the £250 budget :)

Why is the 2160 preferred? He won't be using it for games, only office stuff and windows media center

I need to upgrade a mate's PC and he's only got £250 to spend on a new mobo, cpu, RAM and gfx. How does this look?

Yeah it's running vista, but I don't really put it under any heavy load. I tend to use it to remote desktop from my living room into my desktop upstairs which is a lot more powerful

I've got an acer 5051AWXMI which cost less than £400 and I love it. Nice styling and a great screen but I put 2GB RAM in it to speed it up a bit

Which of these would give the best performance in windows? (I'm talking about general usage not which would give the best file copy speed or whatever). - Single 74GB Raptor - 750GB AAKS - 2 x 320GB 7200 16MB in RAID 0 I'm trying to get a feel for what would give me the best performance...

Thanks for the replies. I see you guys have specified a case - I don't think he really needs one because he's happy with the one he has. However, he may or may not need a power supply because I can't rule that out as a cause for the stability problems he has at the moment. I should probably...
