    Mortgage Rate Rises

    That is not true at all. You are right that most mortgages only allow 10% of the current balance, as you have stated and that's how my mortgage with Halifax works. But my mortgage with Skipton is 10% of the original loan amount. I am sure other lenders will have this rule also.

    Mortgage Rate Rises

    Am I missing something... looking at the first link you put (MSE regular savings accounts) they all limit what you can pay in, therefore that limits how good they are. So looking at the Skipton savings account, it has 7% interest, a maximum of £250 a month. Do that for 12 months you have paid...

    New System - £1,000 - Spec Check/Advice Please

    Currently not in stock at OCUK, not sure how long the wait would be. The WD elsewhere is £139, so a little more, but it is also quicker.

    New System - £1,000 - Spec Check/Advice Please

    @mickyflinn Thanks. I prefer NVIDIA and think I will stick with them. PSU should be fine as it's going into a Coesair case, their website says it fits in the 4000 cases (if I'm reading it correctly). The motherboard elsewhere is currently in a bundle deal with the CPU (saving me £10), so I'd...

    New System - £1,000 - Spec Check/Advice Please

    @Tetras I have upped my budget. How does this look to you? Would you change anything and why? Shopping around I can get it all for just under £1,600 I'd get a Peerless Assassin for the CPU Cooler. Would I also need to get thermal paste or does it come with anything? My basket at OcUK: 1 x...

    New System - £1,000 - Spec Check/Advice Please

    Thanks for the advice. My only limit on the budget was to have a balance on the amount I would spend to how much I would use the system (I also have a PS5, 2 young kids, and a full-on job, so free time for PC gaming is sparse :D but want to enjoy it when I can!) If it was a big difference, and...

    New System - £1,000 - Spec Check/Advice Please

    @Tetras Thanks for the reply. I don't expect the system to last 5-10 years, badly worded by myself. I just mean what is the best I can get now for £1,000. I don't expect to be upgrading anytime soon but would like to play the mentioned games. I'll have a good look at what you have put...

    New System - £1,000 - Spec Check/Advice Please

    So I think it is finally time for a new PC. Looking to buy in the next few weeks. I don't game as much as I used to but my current system, which is over 11 years old is struggling now with many games or can't even run them. So think I may treat myself to a new system. Current Spec: MSI...

    *** The official Apple Watch Series 9 (and Ultra 2) thread (it has double tap and everything!) ***

    After seeing your pictures and having a look online at some videos showing a bit more detail on the sizing I've decided to change my strap for the M/L. Apple CS also said as long as they have straps in store I can come in and swap if needed.

    *** The official Apple Watch Series 9 (and Ultra 2) thread (it has double tap and everything!) ***

    That's frustrating, hopefully the strap works ok for me. I think I'll also grab an Alpine loop also as I like the look of them but need to see the sizing to get it right.

    Does anyone have any experience of this? Would be easier if I didn't have to return the watch and could just swap straps.

    *** The official Apple Watch Series 9 (and Ultra 2) thread (it has double tap and everything!) ***

    After trying on a friend's Ultra today, I've pulled the trigger on an Ultra 2 with a trail loop. It will be a nice upgrade on my current S3. Having not seen/tried the trail loop before, would Apple give the option to swap it in the shop for an Alpine strap (assuming they had stock) if I...

    *** The Official iPhone 15 thread (it has USB-C and everything!) ***

    I've gone for the black, that looks like the blue. Is it just the blue that suffers the marks? However, as much as I'd like to have the phone naked I just can't risk it, mine will be going in a Mous case from day one. I did the same with my XS and the case has done me well surviving plenty of...

    *** The official Apple Watch Series 9 (and Ultra 2) thread (it has double tap and everything!) ***

    I'm still on an S3 and have been holding out to upgrade. I was hoping that the ultra 2 would also bring a new colour (black/dark) and better battery (was hoping for 3 or 4 days), unfortunately, it hasn't, but the fact it will still be a massive upgrade over my S3 I expect I will still get one

    I decided to go for the 0% finance as I may as well keep the £999 in my bank. The order says it's on hold, but had an email from Barclays saying the finance was approved last night. The order status on the Apple website says it's on hold still... how long does this normally take to update? The...

    Well looking at how these seem to be selling, I didn't want them to be out of stock when I got back home so I have placed a pre-order now.
