Just to let anyone interested know it is perfectly possible to use the pyrolytic cleaning cycle of an oven for Pizza at 450c as I did it for some years. The lock was defeated with some filing and a piece of folded foil to prevent it moving into place. You obviously need to be very careful with...

I am in the exact same position as you (pixel xl, f&f discount on ee) and I just ordered a Note 9 on 24 mo contract. Notch and ram were major issues on the pixel 3 XL, battery is tiny and screen a downgrade on pixel 3, so I plan to put a stock launcher on Note 9 which at least means the phone...

The updates I don't mind but if the phone is stuttery or laggy it would be an issue. Do you find it less smooth day to day then the pixel ?

How do you find the note 9 generally compared to the pixel ? I am on a pixel XL and debating whether to get a pixel 2xl/ 3 or go for a larger note 9. The main thing putting me off is reports of lag and stutter even with stock style launcher. What are your thoughts ?

It may not be the best case for you as it would probably be important to have some intake air blown directly below the card. I specifically chose a shorter 1080Ti (EVGA SC2 rather than the FTW) when ordering due to this. You could try squeezing a 120mm at the bottom if you remove the HDD shroud...

Have the case now. Just for anyone else , the mesh isn't easily removable from the foam (you have to bend the edges off to remove which can't be done regularly or they will snap. Generally impressed with the case. Seems there is good airflow, and the cable routing is excellent. Coming from an...

Hi I ended up with the Meshify C in the end - more limited clearance

Hi Thanks for the advice. I will change the PSU to the Focus Plus 650w. I am limited with GPU choice as It cannot be too long with front mounted AIO (288mm or less). I got the SC2 for £700 so not the best card or cheapest but couldnt find a better one that fitted the length. I like the...

Just as an update I have finalised the spec below. Let me know what you think and if there is anything you would change. Have ordered the motherboard and 1080ti after finding good deals on them. Will order the rest this week during the sales. Swapped to ATX as the meshify isn't that big and has...

Hi I am going to be purchasing a new build soon and have settled on a FD Meshify C as my case. The only concern I have is the front fan foam filter, which doesn't look removable from the metal mesh to get to the front side of it. How are you meant to remove the dust from the front of the foam...

Hi I am looking at buying a new mATX build and like the look of the Phanteks Enthoo Evolv mATX TG case. I want to front mount the CPU AIO radiator which as far as I can see , means about 51mm of space taken by fan and rad for eg a h115i. The shortest 1080Ti I can find that I like the look...

Thanks all for your replies, really appreciated. Danny I like your idea of the microATX case. Are there any other mATX cases you would recommend? The Lian Li posted has a bit too much glass for my liking. Are there many reports of leakage or pump failure with liquid CPU coolers like the H115i...

Hi I currently have a i7 920/780GTX system that is now showing it's age a little. I was looking start a new build. Already have a 4k monitor. Am hoping to get something that will last for another 5-6 years. Budget is around £2k to 2.5k. I was thinking of an i7-8700 CPU and 1080Ti graphics...

Use the CAP, Glass's and Parker's guides primarily, as well as prices of cars from local dealers. http://www.financial-ombudsman.org.uk/publications/technical_notes/motor-valuation.html#2 You don't have to accept their offers if you don't think it is fair, and mentioning that you are...

Thanks for the tips guy. It will be a few decades of posting before I qualify for MM so I will look out for some 2nd hand RAM on eBay if it comes up, otherwise I'll get a 780 and try to OC the i7 a little more

I have the following system which is a few years old: i7 920 at 3.4Ghz 6gb DDR3 RAM (2x2GB DDR3 Triple channel Patriot Viper) Gigabyte EX58-UD3R ASUS 5870 I was thinking of a small upgrade (hopefully less than £500-600 altogether), mainly for the use of next gen games but also some...

Got mine, hardware seems well built and UI is very smooth. Have noticed the very faint buzzing sound from earpiece. Have got an issue with the Wifi being very flaky - appears connected and occasionally works but usually sits there with connections timing out. No problem on old Desire or PC...

I personally wouldn't buy an ex-demo since they probably aren't going to have been very well looked after. Most the 10 plates onwards have LCI facelift and get a slightly better MPG. The mid 09's onwards have an updated i-drive interface which is much nicer than the old one that looks pretty...

How much discount you will get on a car would depend on how keenly the car was originally priced, popularity of colour/spec, the time of the month & how desperate the salesman is, whether it was a part exchanged at a low price or bought from a trader, etc. So it is variable. When looking for...

My 182 has given me virtually 0 problems in 5 years of ownership. Other than a lambda sensor no longer functioning after putting on an aftermarket exhaust, and the windscreen washer jets needing replacing, it has been faultless. The once-a-year service was cheap and even the "big" cambelt...
