    Who's got the oldest PSU?

    Still using an Enermax NoiseTaker 475 PSU from about 2004/2005 in a SFF PC connected to the TV. It probably spent 4-5 years unused in the garage, and only see's light use these day, so hasn't had a hard life, but i am still thinking of replacing it soon.

    Skylake mobo £100-£120?

    I have a ROG Ranger, and for me the difference was the audio, the Ranger uses the newer Realtek 1150 whereas the Z170-A uses an older Realtek 892 codec. I hated the sound that came from my old Gigabyte board which had the Realtek 892, so didn't want to go back to a board with that audio codec...

    Skylake z170 boards

    Asus have a cashback promotion currently, so can claim back 20 pounds from some their lower end boards. I have used either Gigabyte and Asus boards over the years, and never had any major issues with any of them.

    Skylake mobo £100-£120?

    Asus have a cashback promotion currently, so something like the Asus Maximus VIII Ranger Intel Z170 for 139.99 (119.99 after cashback) might be worth considering.

    anyone gone from wireless mouse to wired?

    I used a wireless Logitech G700 for 3-4 years, until it started malfunctioning after years of abuse, and bought a wired Logitech G502. Must admit got used to the wire pretty quickly, and it helped that the G502 seems much more responsive and precise than the G700.

    Keyboard decision

    The Razer Blackwidow Stealth also uses Cherry MX Browns. The Ultimate is above your budget, but the standard edition (which I have) is, if you don't need backlit keys. Only other disadvantage is no UK keyboard layout only US...

    *** League of Legends ***

    I am liking the shorter Dominion games, and although it was total chaos for me the first 2 or 3 games, I'm beginning to see some of the different strategies coming through needed to win... still lots to learn which makes it more fun :) I have been playing as Miss Fortune, and my general play...

    Are you a 'cubicle pee-er'?

    Always use the urinals... with cubicles it's a bit of lottery, the state some are left in <insert appropriately repulsive graphic image here> are truly shocking.

    Fredrik Ikea desk

    I bought one recently, and pretty pleased with it. It's solid and don't think you'll have a problem with 2 CRTs and a computer on it. One thing I didn't realise until I assembled it, is the cross section under the desk can be used to hold your power strip and hide other cables/power blocks...
