Honestly, check out the video - half an hour with a staple gun and some scissors, once materials are in hand. :) Then onto adding the side-mounted rocket launchers from old bits of drainpipe and inexplicably placed household chemicals... ;)

My experience of using phone internet into the router usually involves phone-usbcable-router-ethernetorwifi-pc So the networking options are then contained in the router menus, router-dependent. 2ndary connection / failover on my particular router only works with certain usb dongles e.g. most...

Check your proprietary dell drivers and firmware to see if there are any updates. The Dell Command | Update Universal application can be downloaded from their support site and I've found that to be useful in the past. Their other software is mostly dross though :) Download the above Run the...

The jabra wired headsets are comparable in capability to the wireless at about a quarter of the price. I'd usually recommend those, Logitech h390 or Microsoft lifechat 3000, for reasonably good headsets with passive nc

Bone conduction headphones are pretty good and have the benefit of not obscuring sound from the outside world. Seems this would be a good shout.

Look on facebay for a steelcase leap that needs some TLC. Essentially tanks, so should just be able to pop in some chair foam and reupholster all for well under £100 and some staple gun effort, and you get your choice of covering. Crandall (US refurbisher) has some good YouTube vids on how to do...

Around the £50-£60 mark will net you something that reads blu ray at 12x, and burns dvd+- at 48x, price goes up from there. Check out the external drives section in the ocuk shop.

Just because it says may not be compatible, it might be. E.g. my circa 5 year old MSI tomahawk max ii and Ryzen 5 3600, just need to change some bios settings but don't feel the need to go to Windows 11. Google search for 'windows 11' and 'your motherboard name' and you might at least see if...

I recently had a discussion of a new build for about the same budget for a friend. We came to the conclusion that the 4070ti was the most 'worth it' in the current stable. 2 great builds above but I'd slightly side towards the AMD processor.

Whoa! That's a really nice car Rotty! Legend.

Completely agree. For information navigation and properly following a discussion, you can't beat forums. But hey. people love just talking about... well whatever floats into their head at any time, and I guess FB etc lets them do that. If I want specialist knowledge, I don't want it from ******...

Nooooooooo! Stupid breakfast roll. Stupid yolk. :C The unthinkable has happened. A splodge the size of a 10p coin which had a good minute to soak in before I noticed it. Now looking for recommendations on best way to clean. :rolleyes: I now have ingrained paper towel marks and a 10p sized...

Yeah, you jumped up a notch more than I thought you'd be at :D The carbide is a nice case. Look for low response times on your monitor. If solely for gaming you'd get an amazing TN panel @144hz for £300 but you'd instead also be able to get a decent 75hz 32" IPS panel if you want a better (for...

You'll realise the TeamGroup SSD is out of stock, but the Corsair drive is good value for money IMO and will go nicely with that motherboard. 3200Mhz probably is the best value RAM proposition. Myeh looks ok. I'd just go with a Ryzen 3600 CPU (+£170ish) and a decent ~£25-£30 cooler like a...

I'm interested in bundles which contain 32GB memory kits, but again thinking 3600X or 3700X. But was willing to go for higher spec mobo/ram. Maybe you could do X570 boards with good ram as the bulk of the bundle and just either leave it at that or add CPU at full price? I know people say "oh you...

The pocophone has fast IR facial recognition for unlock and ermagerd so good fingerprint unlock! G7 power is great too - also face unlocks / finger unlocks, but just pick whichever suits your budget. If you can stretch to it, a Pocophone has a lot more bang for buck. If I had £170ish as my...

I also considered the above 2 options. Didn't want or need a flagship and just need a decent phone I won't get frustrated with its slowness that will last a couple of years. The G7 Power available in the UK is single sim only. Not sure if there is another version with dual sim, as far as I knew...

The old OCUK mats tended to fray at the edges over (admitted a fairly long) time. Current ones have stitched edges to prevent that, just like these. I'm guessing they are very similar.

Looooong time forum lurker who rarely posts. :) I've started reviewing a lot of products I've bought from various places and have recently been planning a major upgrade from my ancient and crumbling i7 (1st gen!) build in its venerable Antec 900 case - which was awesome at the time, back when...

The area around it is not quite Paradise.
