Thanks for your help everyone, I think I have everything I need to make some informed decisions :)

Thanks for that, although it doesn't leave much left over for monitor and keyboard. I was looking at a AMD Ryzen 5 7600 as it's over £100 cheaper and only 65W compared to 120W for the 7800. I know that with gaming it used to be that a mid range CPU would suffice with the cost savings being put...

When I bought the 750W PSU I thought it would be ample as I really wasn't expecting him to be given a 3090 RTX! Not sure was PSU my brother was using with it, I will ask next time I see him. Problem is he has already opened up the PSU and fitted it in the case, so we can't really return it now...

It's been many years since I have posted on these forums, but it used to be my go to place for advice regarding gaming PC builds. My last build was circa 2007-2008 and then I switched exclusively to laptops for work and consoles for gaming. Anyway, my son turned 13 on Xmas eve and this year he...

I haven't posted on these forums is a loooong time, but I now have a dilemma which I am hoping the good people on here may be able to help me with, or least point me in the right direction as I've exhausted other avenues - although it's a random one so maybe not "help me OC forums, you're my...

I'm on my way to Electra to take part in the latest Community Goal, but I'm struggling to find any AX weapons along the way! Is anyone on here participating and if so can you let me know where I can pick up some AX canons & missiles? Preferably as near to Electra as possible. Thanks. [EDIT]...

Ok, so now I'm hitting problems again. The book I have is call "VISUAL BASIC: in 8 Hours, For Beginners" and just talks you through the code, so doesn't deal with any aspects of each IDE and setting up etc. In SharpDevelop 4.4 I have started a new project and opened a new VB empty file which...

That works great, thanks :)

I won't have internet access where I am staying!

I have just had a quick look, does it cover VB as well?

I couldn't find a version to download from MS as links always point you towards VS 2017, so I managed to find a download from another source (I didn't think this was too bad as the software is free anyway). I'm currently trying again with the install of 2017 and will see how I get on with that.

I am currently teaching BTEC IT at a Sixth Form College and have set myself the challenge of learning to code over the summer hols. I am away in a remote area of Sweden for 4 weeks over the summer, with no or limited internet access, and will have with me my extremely portable but incredibly...

I am a sixth form teacher and I am soon to be teaching my year 12 & 13 students MS Project 2010 (something I have done lots of in my previous life as an IT trainer). Anyway, time is limited and I need to get together some scenario's which they can put into MS Project themselves. I have scoured...

They just have to take them during school holidays. I can't think of an illness which would take me out for a week and has the side effect of a suntan :D

Yes but if I move elsewhere then they usually honour holidays already booked. Plus I'm teaching IT so there's a lot of demand for my skills.

I'm getting married in the summer and my Dad has offered to pay for a family holiday (nearest we will get to a honeymoon with 3 kids) to a luxury hotel in Tenerife. Anyway, I started working at a sixth form college last October and notified them that I will be getting married in the summer...

Is it not worth having an official Amazon Echo thread, or even an official Home Automation Thread? I would be interested in keeping abreast with new gadgets which will tie in with my echo.

I find the sound quality is fine. Ok, it's no where near as good as the BOSE speakers on my HiFi but it's a hell of a lot better than my DAB Radio - I'm not really much of an audiophile though to be honest so maybe I'm not the best judge!

Yes, but I usually start the day with Radio 2 and then switch to Radio 6 Music later in the day. You can say please if it makes you feel better and she will respond just the same... you can even say "Yo Alexa" to activate if it makes you feel more 'street' :p [EDIT] you will need to say...

I've had mine since Wednesday and I love it. I have never really been a big fan of voice activation in anything if I am honest. Gaming on a console is a personal activity and not really for spectators so talking to your PS4 or Xbox One seems pointless to me and maybe a little intrusive to...
