    Wireless Access Points for new house.

    It is quite big. I just want to future proof it as we are doing it up from scratch so can do these things now and not go back and do them later if it's not enough.

    Wireless Access Points for new house.

    Sorry if a similar question has been asked before but here goes. We have just bought our own place here in New Zealand and one of the first things I want to do is get decent wireless internet in the place. The house is a 2 storey property. My thoughts are to get 2 x Ubiquiti UniFi U6-LR...

    Gaming PC for cousin.

    Hi mate, Thanks for the reply. If I was back in the UK I'd have done this for them. What they want to do is buy a full PC that is ready to go.

    Gaming PC for cousin.

    Good morning/evening, I live in New Zealand but have been asked to help out to find a gaming PC for my cousin in the UK who is 18 this time. Being over here I'm out of the loop of where to but PC's and parts etc now so thought I would ask here. I have been sent this which he is interested in...

    DDR 3200 RAM running at 2400 issue.

    Hi mate, thanks for the reply. I've done as you said and I can't get 2933 to work at all. I've switched XMP off and tried quite a few of the memory settings and the best I can get out of it (without it keep restarting) is 2800. I think that is the best I can do without changing the CPU etc...

    DDR 3200 RAM running at 2400 issue.

    Hi people, I'm wondering if anyone can help me. I recently picked up a 2nd hand PC and it has one stick of 16GB DDR4 2666 RAM in it and I wanted to upgrade it to 32GB DDR4 3200. No matter what I do I can't get the RAM to run at 3200. I've tried with XMP on and it does nothing, I've tried to...

    Help with a decent soundbar.

    Hi people, We’ve just moved into a new place and there’s no way I can set up my 5.1 speaker system here. The missus has given me the green light to buy a decent soundbar so I need your help. I currently have a LG OLED B7 tv and I’ve been looking at the LG SN9YG potentially with the rear...

    Move to New Zealand?

    If I got offered a job in Helmand Province I still would've given it thought over Wigan mate :D I'm on North Shore in a small place called Torbay. I love it on the North Shore, when I come over the bridge from Auckland going North I get a sense of 'home feeling' as soon as I get on this side :D...

    Move to New Zealand?

    We (me and the wife) moved to Auckland in August 2019 after being offered a job and we always count ourselves being lucky for being here. We absolutely love the place. We had never been to the place before but we knew it was not going to be worse than Wigan so just went for it blindly. We...

    Drives for DVDs (NAS?) and Apple TV

    Hi people, I am looking for a bit of advice really. I am looking to copy some of my DVD/Blu Ray collection to a NAS drive of some sort (I’m new to this) and then be able to stream them through my Apple TV with Plex or something like that. What should I be looking at to get this up and running...

    Can my laptop run a widescreen monitor/4k monitor?

    Good morning people. I'm well out of the loop with PC's and laptops now so might be a stupid question but can my laptop run a 34 inch'ish widescreen monitor or 4K monitor. The specs are as follows (it's an older laptop but still ok): i7-6700HQ @ 2.6HZ 32GB Ram 3GB Nvidia GeForce GTX 970M. I...

    VPN required for streaming - Express VPN or Nord VPN?

    Hi people, I'm new to VPN's but I am emigrating to New Zealand at the end of next week and looking for a decent VPN to stream UK programmes etc on my iPad/Apple TV etc. I've read quite a lot of review between the 2 and there isn't much in it but Nord VPN works out so much cheaper (you can get...

    Server required for work - advice needed.

    It’s what they recommended and what they have set up. There’s a PC in each office with the same information on the hard drive. I don’t like it as it’s not how I wanted it all to be set up and it just isn’t working the way I want it to work. If someone in one office saves a file it goes on the PC...

    Server required for work - advice needed.

    Thanks for the replies. It’s down to me to sort on behalf of the company and I’m way out of the loop on these things these days. I’ve been having a look around and found a system called pCloud Business which seems to be one of the best ways forward I think. It’s £8.99 a member which is around...

    Server required for work - advice needed.

    I hope this is ok to post here? I have been tasked with trying to link our 2 offices together so we can access files and projects etc from each office. Does anyone offer, or know of a service that can do this? We already have a company that looks after our PC's etc but they keep insisting...

    Xbox One X / PS4 Pro headset

    Well I went for the AKG 712 pro and Soundblaster G6 setup and so far I’m really impressed. I think I need to tweak a few bits but the missus is a bit happier me using these rather than having it all blasting in the house.

    Xbox One X / PS4 Pro headset

    Great post again mate. I am just listening to reviews now of the AKG K712 headsets. They are ones I have seen the past but never considered for gaming purposes. They look amazing too which I have always liked. I don't think I need to add speakers down the line as I am happy with my surround...

    Xbox One X / PS4 Pro headset

    Thank you for the in depth reply. I just want a good sounding headphone really. I'm no competition gamer or anything, just a casual gamer who wants a decent sounding headset but don't want to pay £50 for one and make do. I think I have a budget of around £300 if they are decent enough, and all...

    Xbox One X / PS4 Pro headset

    I'm really sorry for the late reply as I have been away. Anyways while I was away I was having a good look around (I was in Florida so asked a few people in GameStops etc) and I think I am swaying towards the Arctis Pro Wireless headset. Apparently you can use this headset on Xbox One X and PS4...
