Logitech G613 keyboard + G603 mouse. Connect to main PC via dongles (USB) and work laptop by bluetooth. Buttons on both to flip between connections. The USB wireless 'Lightspeed' connection is supposed to be very low latency.... I've never had an issue. Bonus no cables

Well that's £7.99 I hadn't planned to spend :D

I've not had a PSU fail yet... though mostly had Corsair, Antec, Seasonic since I moved on from the bundled units in the beige towers of the early 90's. Coming to the realisation that my pile of treasure (Old PC parts) might need a bit more investment than just a couple of used GPU's given the...

I discounted Be Quiet based on this and others Linky Which got me thinking is there any real difference between BQ and less well known labels.

So I may need an extra PSU or more for additional old gaming machines. Assuming this is ball park 80W CPU and 150W GPU plus a few fans and a SATA SSD so 250W max. Usage likely to be 10-20hr/ month. Seems to be very few mid tier PSU about with Corsair CX550 looking to be the go to budget...

The RX550 is better than the iGPU... just but really showing it limits. Putting together a number of older PC's for that Lan experience (on an isolated subnet) with the kids and their friends. They are still under 10 so no hardcore gamers who will notice occasional dropped frames. Have a right...

Thanks for the comments. Seems I'm at least in the ball park. PSU quite solid, was clearance a few years ago on the shelf of a superstore for £20 BNIB. Too cheap to walk past. (Much to the wife's dismay) Has 400W @ 12V and likely less than 200 hours run time. 1070 likely to big for the case...

Putting together a couple of older PC's for Lan gaming when the kids have friends round. Currently games like Roblox, Minecraft, Fortnite, Rocket League etc. One of the systems: I7 2600k H61 (I think) no OC 16GB Antec 450W (very light usage) Kolink Satellite (so space is tight) RX550 2GB Will...

See here for a list of capabilities. Nvidia GPU Encode Decode I use a quadro P2000, though had a P1000 before (only supports 3 streams). I don't encode to AV1 so not an issue so far. Intel iGPU is well rated through I'd look for 10th Gen or better if relying solely on the CPU though AV1 is...

I have an Epson PX720WD I bought around 2012 and converted to bulk ink shortly after geting it with remote ink tanks. I've reset the page count on it 3 times now so over 60k pages. Epson have a print limit on it as apparently the ink pad can be saturated.... well so they say. Never had any...

Rubber roof for the win, fit once enjoy for years. I have a large shed and by dad has two, rubberoof instead of felt over 15 years ago, no issues since. From ~ £10 sq m Get the fancy edges if you like, or just batten and nail the edges like felt to keep costs down.

Ring some local plumbers/ gas fitters. I spoke to one and he installed the Worcester Bosch I wanted 2 days later. It was a few years back but cost around £500 + boiler price at trade. That included a magnet filter. I'd asked him to move it a few feet so it vented out of a different wall else...

Worst case, you. Best case 50:50

I was on a small jet to Germany some years ago. They literally had a 14ish inch deep curtain with business class printed on it hung above one of the seat backs around three rows from the front. Otherwise all the seats were identical. Guess they got unlimited peanuts or something.

Only place I'd sell is MM. Ebay just not worth the hassle, risk of charge backs in 5 months etc.

Two or three GT710's - When I just need an image RX550 2GB -light gaming Roblox / Minecraft for the kids Quadro P1000, upgraded to a P2000 for more transcode streams and never got around to selling. Single slot LP so fits in anything. Also works well for light gaming, parsec etc. Also have my...

That is an old wives tale. Vision deteriorating is due to the hardening of the lens on the eye which is a biological process. Incorrect prescription can cause eyestrain headaches etc. but will not worsen vision or speed up deterioration. Usually it's obvious if text etc. is not clear. Glasses...

For age related eyesight I just get cheap reading glasses from the pound shop or Amazon. I have half or dozen or more pairs ... Around the house, car, work bag etc. I tried a few different magnifications and 1.5 works well for me. I do have an expensive set of optician glasses which are a...

I did my Indian slabs with mortar, has been in for years and is rock solid. I added some black pigment to get a contrast. As it can be messy, I used 2ft of gutter with a slot cut in it to fill the gaps.

Indeed, pension age does impact working age benefits, through pensions are payable for an average of 15 years assuming you get to retirement age, a significant portion don't. Unless there is a significant shift it's likely some sort of continued base pension can be managed. In my opinion these...
