    mITX NAS case?

    Their DS380B case is nearly perfect, aside of it requires a SFX PSU, otherwise they all top out at 3 3.5" drives sadly!

    mITX NAS case?

    Looking for a mini ITX case for my NAS. Currently using 3 drives, looking to expand further in the future as required. I'm trying to use my EVGA 750w G2 PSU, which is modular and 180mm in length. Node 304 looks ideal but is out of stock in most places annoyingly. Any other recommendations?

    Why dont they get ITX cases right?

    The Ghost S1 is fantastic, but was a real pain to get hold of as you say. Quality is unreal and the fit and finish is perfect. It's tiny too, but sadly sacrifices a small amount of size to limit cards to 2 slots only, which these days is quite difficult! If they made it just 1cm wider it would...

    WD selling SMR drives as WD Reds

    Damn, they are EFAX drives. I wonder if it's worth returning, given it's a NAS for photo storage.

    WD selling SMR drives as WD Reds

    To the layman with no knowledge of the finer details of HDDs, yet is building a NAS with 4TB Reds, should I be worried about this?

    Anyone else really missing driving right now? (Rant/moan)

    Oh I know how you feel. I need to to to get some milk tomorrow so I think I may get some fuel whilst I'm at it, may take the slightly longer route to the shops too. Sadly all the routes I can go, redlining the engine in first will still break the speed limit :(

    Anyone else really missing driving right now? (Rant/moan)

    Young guys in their dads BMWs/Mercs treating the roads like their own private race tracks? I was on the north circ heading towards Redbridge in the middle lane just prior to the Ilford turnoff and had one pass me each side at a ton plus easily. Saw a police car or two shortly after, hope they...

    Bill Withers passes at 81

    That whole Alan Partridge scene will now need to be re-filmed!

    Anyone else really missing driving right now? (Rant/moan)

    Okay I'm not one to say I don't loose my temper at the Great British roads, slow drivers, middle lane hoggers and all, but it's now been nearly 3 weeks since I've been on a proper drive and in that 3 weeks I've maybe done 6 or 7 miles in total to the supermarket and back a few times. All I can...

    Plane Spotters / Flight Radar Thread

    Ditto, the one type I always dreamed of flying, I was just a few years too late for it. They're not being retired yet, but I guess it's only a matter of time, certainly covid has shortened its lifespan

    Plane Spotters / Flight Radar Thread

    BA are sending streams of their 747's to Teruel today for what I assume is storage. Seen about 5 so far, no doubt many more to head that way. Sad times right now in the skies.

    China's 'wet markets' have reopened

    My controversial reply to this would be that I strongly disagree regarding veggie/vegan's only allowed an opinion, however it does strike me that the West are extremely passionate about dogs as food. I understand it, dogs are our mates, we love dogs and why the hell would anyone want to eat one...

    15" laptop up to around £1500

    Very kind and normally I'd snap this sort of thing up, however this is a work benefit to buy it so it has to be from new. How did you find it though? Good laptop?

    15" laptop up to around £1500

    Thanks for the replies both. I have to admit I have looked at the Razer Blade 15 but there is something about that awful tramp stamp logo which puts me off. It does look a nice size and build so I guess I could wrap it. I did also look at the Omen, but they're quite chunky if I remember...

    15" laptop up to around £1500

    Looking for a new laptop and am really quite clueless. My must haves are.... Thin and light, I travel a lot and don't want a monster gaming laptop Colour accurate screen 16Gb RAM Decent sized SSD My would-likes: Discreet graphics for a bit of gaming, but I don't expect to play AAA's on amazing...

    Can't talk for the 5, but the 35d engine in my 435d was an absolute cracker. Pulls like a train and could easily out pace most things on the road. I remember when I had my Focus RS, a 335d was keeping up with me flat out on the motorway up to "70mph" without any issues. Great engine. As for M2...

    I'd actually say that compared to the HK I had in my 435d, the mid-range BMW stereo isn't actually as bad as I had expected. It certainly can't do the volume of the 4's HK, but it's sound quality is certainly passable. That said, I drove an i-Pace the other day, my god the Meridian sound system...

    BMW and M Power Owners

    Yes indeed. I bought the car used and the previous owner had ticket every box, apart from, strangely, the HK stereo, instead opting for the mid range one. I like the lights though, the hexagons look cool and the split beam thing is mad to watch at first. I drive mostly in London so it's rare I...

    Had my M2 detailed by Stu at F1 Wax, so happy how it came out! 2 stage polish with ceramic coat. Shame the rain and 120 miles I've driven in her she's a little dirty already. Still, gives me an excuse to wash it!
