    Looking into making first gaming PC

    Hi. Thanks for all the advice in this thread. I have made my order. Essentially your suggestion Sparx. Had to order the M/Board from elsewhere as it was not in stock at OcUK sadly. I notice you suggested an alternative cooler to stock above. Was that because of the case chosen or would you...

    What bargains did you get over the black friday cyber monday weekend ?

    That's amazing. How did you manage that as an existing customer? I spent an hour on phone to different departments trying to get a similar deal and all I got told was it's for new customers only. Would it be because we already have the 50% off for a year deal possibly?

    Can anybody recommend a way of sending txts to a UK mobile over the internet rather than using my ow

    I have used these for a few years at two companies. We use it via outlook to send and receive using their addin. Only prob is we bought a company mobile 'virtual' number from them to use. Which costs circa £200.00. If you don't do that then the messages you send come from different numbers...

    About to press the order button. Any last minute thoughts?

    Thanks Acme. I am not mad in love with the case, but I really want a white case which is quiet and doesn't have a Window. Do you have any recommendations?

    Treating myself to a new PC. Budget £1100. Could use some help.

    Hello All. I have just sold my MacBook Pro, and received lots of nice OcUK vouchers for my birthday, so I am going to build myself a new PC (for mainly playing games). I have not built myself a PC for about 7 years so I am very out of touch on what is hot and what is not. I.e. do I go i5 or...

    *** Sony Xperia Z3 Compact ***

    Ah thank you. It was me being a numpty. When I installed Facebook and linked In it said something about auto sync and I turned it off thinking it was going to do something like try and sync everything with them. Turns out turning off auto sync stops exchange working too! Thanks.

    Well I got my Z3C yesterday and had a evening playing with it last night. I really like it. Coming from being a long time iOS user (first Android phone) I am struggling to get to grips with it at the moment but I get the feeling we are going to get on well! I have 2 Exchange accounts and...

    *** Sony Xperia Z3 Compact ***

    Hi All. Very informative thread. I am a long time iPhone user. Purely because I have always had Mac's and iPad's and liked the similarity/continuity. However, I am not a fan of larger phones and the new iPhone to me is a bit too big. Why they couldn't do one the same size as now, and then...

    48 Port Gigabit Small Business Switch - Thoughts?

    Hi All. Would anyone be able to recommend a decent 48 port gigabit switch for a small business setup (never likely to need more than 48 ports). I have been looking at the Netgear GS748T but have read mixed reviews. I don't really 'need' it to be a managed switch, but I guess why not if the...

    Wireless signal in large brick house - solution?

    Thanks for the replies guys. They have BT Broadband (ADSL) and the standard BT home hub router at the moment. They would be willing to spend a few hundred to get this sorted with a good solution. So a suitable solution would be to run access points connected to home plug devices around the...
