    Total beginner wanting to learn to create Wordpress websites.

    For general web development guidance there is a tonne of stuff here: https://developers.google.com/web/fundamentals/ For building a wordpress theme, I loved Chris Coyiers screencast - it's a little old now but I believe it's still enough to get you going...

    Advice on mITX Build M/B

    AIO sounds like best option, will go for the h100i with some higher quality fans (probably noctua).

    Advice on mITX Build M/B

    The reason I went for the H55 is because I would love a quiet machine (as quiet as possible). But if temps are kept down and therefore the fans are kept kept lower then H100i sounds fair, can anyone coemt to noise levels (I'm not over the top about noise but just a nod of "its not actually that...

    Advice on mITX Build M/B

    Hi All, Im looking to pass on my old machine to the parents and put together a smaller box used primarily for coding, video / photo bits and bob. I tend to stick towards components that will last for years without any maintanence. OS I have sorted and I believe the Corsair 250D will take...

    Parts Review for an ITX Build

    Hi everyone, I'm looking to put together a new PC, my current one is head off to another family member. I use my computer for programming on linux and largely opt for good parts to give the machine a good length of life and not have moments of getting sluggish. At the moment I'm looking...

    Moving to a Smaller Case

    Hey everyone, When I first did my build a few years ago I went for the Lian Li PC-A71FB but it's ultimately just too big for what I need and I'd like to switch to something smaller. My main concern with a new case is whether it'll be able to fit the Noctua NH-D14 without any hassle. I...

    Domain Name for Machines on Local Network

    Hi Everyone, I've been wanting to make some of my machines easier to access from other machines on the local network. Ideally I'd like something along the lines of: http://media.home/ http://workstation.home/ .... And each of these simply redirect to static IP addresses and port...

    Monitors for Coding and / or stands

    Hey everyone, I current have 2 Samsung 940BW 19" monitors. I've had them for about 5 - 6 years. They have served me well, but I've been spoilt at work and been given a huge Dell monitor (I don't know the size of it), which is making me realise that coding is much nicer with the extra space...

    My Simple Build

    Biffa - Looks like I completely mis-read the guide. I also thought about it, and it talks about lining up holes from both backplates, so yeah I'm just having a simple moment.

    My Simple Build

    Hey everyone, First off - checkout what got delivered today: Tomorrow I'll be putting the build together, I started looking at the motherboard and heatsink, one thing that concerns me is the Noctua installation guide says LGA1156 board have a stock back plate which will need to be...

    Finger over the buy button

    Yup :-P All ordered, now the fun part - wait till everything arrives. Thanks everyone for helping me out, I both hate and love doing things like this, love the choosing, hate the final click of all the money going out. I'll be sure to stick up a build log when I get started, then my old...

    Finger over the buy button

    I've always wanted a Lian Li and I want a huge case so it will last me for years regardless of what I do with it (my current case is a sunbeam sumarai case - god awful looking thing :-P) plus: the case is a graduation present from the parents, the rest Im buying

    Finger over the buy button

    To be honest the cost of that ram is just right for me, so long as it works and I can play my games at a pretty good rate :-)

    Finger over the buy button

    Just a quick google flags up some concern with XMS3 ram, its not on the list of supported RAM for the gigabyte M/B, main concern is its PC3-12800C9 not just plain old PC3-12800 (neither of which mean anything to me, so I can't say if there is even a difference) If you guys say it'll fit and...

    It was largely the look of them, I know they are meant to be good, but sharkoons are meant to be pretty good too.

    Finger over the buy button

    Looks like those are the winners, Ill go for the XMS3 purely because I have a feeling the dominator RAM will have issues of fitting. Anyone know if the fans on the noctua cpu cooler can be swapped for the sharkoons, without damaging it??
