That's great advice, thanks very much! I will definitely take a look at the Intel options you mentioned.

So I'm looking to replace my current audio PC that use to run Cakewalk/Ableton etc. At the moment I have an old Dell with an i5-6500 and 16gb RAM which is wheezing at the amount of synths I'm trying to run on it. I have a budget around 450 and having looked around, I'm thinking either a new...

Amazing, thanks very much for your advice! The regular meshify 2 looks like it would fit the bill nicely.

Looking for recommendations for a case I can use for an unraid server I'm putting together with existing parts. Need to fit in 4 X 3.5 and 2 X 2.5 drives, full size PSU, matx motherboard and a gtx1070. Don't care what it looks like as it'll be sitting in a rack out of the way, but the more...

I've had a Renault Zoe EV for the past 2 years and have really liked it. I do 52 miles a day which it handles fine, and costs hardly anything to charge it up (using the free wall charger that was installed with it). It's nice and quick from a standstill and i've found it a decent all round...

I tried for ages to get through on chat but had no luck. Went through messaging in the My Sky app in the end and cancelled without any troubles. They honoured the 12 month contract for me without any hassle either so relieved about that! Didn't offer me anything decent to stay though (8 quid off...

I went from a 290 to a 970 and i'm very glad I did. The main reason I did was because Nvidia cards seem to work better with a lot of Oculus Rift stuff. Also the 970 is amazingly quiet and my main rig doubles up as a HTPC so it was worth it for me. Having said that, I did it as soon as the 970...

Had an MSI 970 working nicely for a few weeks now (upgrade from a R9 290) until today, when attempting to play any game made my system reboot. Tried a few things but it kept doing it until the last couple of times when on power up I get the following message: "Please power down and connect the...

Just to say massive thanks to MissChief - the code worked a treat, very very happy!

fantastic, will do now - thanks!

Don't suppose these codes work if you have sky broadband and phone but have never had TV do they? Would love to add a tv package to what I currently have, but it seems theres nothing about unless you used to have a tv package or don't have anything with them at all!

I recently upgraded from a 560ti to a MSI Gaming R9 290 (they seem to regularly be on offer for 280-300 ish on various sites). Playing on the living room tv in 1080p and it handles everything i've thrown at it with ease so far. It's a lot quieter and cooler than the MSI twin Frozr 560ti I had...

ooh thats interesting, i'll take a look. Thanks!

Hi guys, I currently have a Sagem F@st 2504n ADSL modem/router on Sky that is starting to overheat and give me all sorts of problems so i'm looking to replace it. I have a PC running in a building at the end of my garden which just about gets a wireless signal but it's really slow, and...

Having done some more research today I think you are all right - a cheap solution would be a false economy. I'm going to go with the Synology DS212J I reckon. Thanks again for everyone's input!

I did think briefly about a HP Microserver, but i'd rather have something cheaper, quieter, less power etc. I've got enough machines around the house as it is and don't really need any extra features!

I've also had a look at the D-Link ShareCenter Pulse 2 bay jobby, and the 3tb Seagate FreeAgent GoFlex - anyone know anything about these 2?

Thanks very much guys. The 1 bay Synology looks good and is right at the top of my budget. I was looking at something like the Zyxel NSA221 as it has 2 bays and is dirt cheap, but I understand it is deathly slow. The 2 laptops are connected via wireless, and the Mac via Powerline so i'm not...

I'm looking for a bit of NAS related advice. I have 1 PC, 2 x laptops and a Mac that I'm currently backing up via a USB drive manually. I'd like to get a NAS that I can stick on the network and get it to backup to a schedule. I already have 2 x 1tb drives I could use with it and don't need it...

These drivers give me a blank screen using Live TV in Media Center - damn!
