    Problem With Upstairs Neighbours Young Child

    Word of advice, think carefully before putting any complaints in writing. When completing the the TA6 should you wish to sell, formal disputes may need to be disclosed to a buyer. Complaints about neighbour noise you can get away with, but if you make it a formal dispute or write to the...

    Upgrade with £200 budget

    Thanks guys. With a power supply also needed, the 390 will be out of budget. Is an upgrade to the R9 380 possible on that PSU? Or is any GPU upgrade in essence going to require a new PSU?

    £700 to £1000 for a 40-42 inch TV

    Cheers for the input guys, I will think about saving £400 by just going for 1080p, but I am happy to spend the extra money for extra quality (even if returns are diminishing). I appreciate the budget is large for a 40 - 42 inch set, but its one of those situations where the money isn't...

    £700 to £1000 for a 40-42 inch TV

    Hi all, Due to a fairly small living room, the maximum size I can go is 40 to 42 inches. Otherwise, it just looks too big... So, that gives me a fairly healthy budget to get as great a picture as possible. I don't want a curved TV as I would like the option to wall mount and I think they...

    You should take professional advice here as, without meaning to offend, from reading your opening post I would have some serious concerns here. There is a lot of misleading advice in this thread also. I won't provide any detailed advice, as that is dangerous without the facts. You say you are...

    Thanks for the pointers Nimble - will take that on board for future projects. Our grid solutions are different by the way, does this mean there are multiple solutions or were we solving different grids?

    Value in old PC parts

    Apologies if there is a rule against price checks. I guess I just wanted to know if there was value there to stop me just scrapping the parts. Thanks for the responses, will attempt to sell the card and CPU.
