    Idea for the Jonsbo D31 w/screen (and req for advice on fitting everything in)

    OK, things are becoming as little clearer! The spec for the "D31 MESH SCREEN White" spec simply states "Power supply support:ATX" But this this illustration from their site implies the max length for your PSU should be 140-160mm depending on your GPU length, but the specs of mine are 85mm (H)...

    Budget mATX open cases?

    The Jonsbo D31 looks so cool, almost seems too good to be true for the price but reviews seem OK, flakey clips holding on side panel seems like the worst issue I've come across but it comes with spares, and I'm guessing it wouldn't be too hard for me to 3Dprint some much better ones. Currently...

    Idea for the Jonsbo D31 w/screen (and req for advice on fitting everything in)

    Hey, The is a very interesting looking case (with a super interesting price) - I'm tempted, just wondering if anyone has experience of building in it and has any general advice? What I have currently in my Phanteks Enthoo Evolv matx (housing it's second build) An AMD 5600X NZXT Kraken X61 AIO...

    Advice requested, B550 5600X & PCIE lanes

    Came across some cheap components so going to build a rig to replace my 2015 gaming desktop. A B550 mobo has come up cheap, and I'm once again out of touch with building. My concern is limiting the builds performance, particularly the GPU, by adding too many components that will take up PCIe...

    78 year old pensioner arrested for for stabbing burglar (burglar later died in hospital)

    I hope the poor guy gets off, he's a hero in my book. I upgraded my baseball bat to a machete a while ago, we've had the same gang of human vermin attempt to break in several times, they come armed and they know we have a dog, you can only assume their intent is to kill the dog and anyone who...

    [Spec Me Please] Laptop to treat my poor old mum...

    Hey there forum, My mum recently had some bad news and subsequently we're spending a lot of time in hospitals. I want to treat her to a new laptop, normally I'd enjoy researching to catch up on the tech, but life has become more than a little hectic. I would be really grateful if anyone could...

    Ditching the Sky/Virgin Subscription/TV Licence/iPlayer - Anyone done it? Any Advice?

    That's insane, anyone else find that morally objectionable? I've not paid my TV licence for 15 years, I never will. Never had any trouble, I just put their mail in the bin. I don't watch TV, but I do watch a lot of stuff on youtube, pray for my soul.

    Overclocked 980 Ti PSU Wattage?

    Tl:dr, looking for good quality PSU recommendations for overclocked skylake cpu/and a single GTX 980ti, want to keep it sub £100 if possible: I've been reading very mixed recommendations for PSUs for use with a 980Ti, one PC component comparison site said my system would use 470w, an online...

    Computer Won't Boot

    Weird, sounds like the bios has some kind of problem. You tried removing the cmos battery for a while then rebooting? Perhaps replace the battery also. Kind of clutching at straws but that's all I can think of. The only experience I've had similar to that was when I switch from my GTX 670 OC ot...

    Thoughts on my PC?

    You could SLI 2 980Ti and get a 4k monitor, or 1 980Ti and a 2k IPS 144mhz Gsync and save some money, or a throw lovely ultra wide monitor into the mix. To be honest your rig sounds more than decent, I'd stick the money in an ISA, but I'm old now and 16 year old me would laugh at that advice and...

    Decent MicroATX Board? Skylake?

    Greetings fellow 670 OC owner :D Still impressed with this card years after buying it, amazing bang per buck. ;)

    Decent MicroATX Board? Skylake?

    Is a z170 chipset really necessary for someone who wants an i3 with no overclocking? I feel like the much cheaper H110 would be more suited.

    Thermal Paste

    I still have the same tube of Arctic 5 I used for several builds over the last 7-8 years, served me well but a friend recently sent me this link of tested thermal pastes. Seems they are not all created equal, I'll be changeling brands for my new build.

    My brother has just returned from travelling and needs a computer for him and his missus, requirements are simple facebook browsing for the lady and for sir, very much a casual gamer these days (due to orders :D ), a small helping of CS:GO, CSS and some Planetside 2... when the cat's away of...

    Spec me (PSU/Mobo/RAM) - Sooo indecisive!

    :rolleyes: The more I research the more I change my mind. I already have a PNY 660 Ti purchased from a friend, I have case/SSD/HDDs etc and I'm going to buy an i5 3570k/Hyper 212 cooler. I want to overclock the CPU, SLI is not important to me. I'm looking to spend £200 -/+ £20-ish. I need...

    Spec Me: FAST 3D Rendering Rigs (x2) £4.7K

    Ok, I've been unable to ascertain exactly what CAD software is going to be used, all I know is its custom software used 'in-house' by a large company they have a connection to. Thanks to all the opinions posted I've really got things whittled down to a couple of systems now, the graphics card...

    Thanks everyone for filling this thread with such great info. Very helpful. :D I was expecting this comment ;) I'm not exactly sure what software they are using, she is not the CAD person so she has been a bit vague despite my probing. Very interested to know if the software required will...

    Spec Me: FAST 3D Rendering Rigs (x2) £4.7K

    Thanks trigger Intel Core i7-3970X 3.50GHz (Sandybridge-E) Socket LGA2011 Processor - Retail [BX80619I73970X] £799.99 How would one of those be for the office PC? I don't want to go overkill but I've been the more power the better when rendering. Also I'm not sure how the GPU actually...
