Thanks! I guess all the warnings I found googling are exaggerations. Should have asked before buying the cable & jacks I guess!

This cable is 25m though and will run next to the main power cable between the consumer unit and meter for for 1.5m, not even sure it will work... I'm thinking I might try these, assuming I get continuity between the shielding that's wrapped over the end of the cable and the keystone housing.

I'm wanting to run a cat6 shielded cable (cable will run close to mains for a bit and will be powering a POE access point) within the house. I've got a few unshielded cables installed in the house already and thought no problem, will just do the same with shielded cable/jacks. Having bought...

Actually I've gotten rid of it by now but it was under a 1 year warranty (confirmed by OKI support) and so no joy on that side. It's now been replaced by an HP printer, hoping that has a longer lifespan.

I have a 14 months old Oki C332 LED colour printer. Last week it started printing all colour pages in cyan, i.e. any colour page printed has a 100% cyan background (the whole A4 page incluing any borders). This printer has seen very low usage - just used by the kids has done less that 1000...

Thanks - will try it...

What key do you mean? I have the 20 digit product key but I'm unable to download the ISO from MS using this key. I assume that the install with a Windows 7 pro cd will fail to activate for the same reason (though I've not tried as I don't have Windows 7 install discs, hence why I tried to...

I have an old but perfectly usable Lenovo T420 laptop, who's hdd has just died. I have no install disks but there is a Win7 PRO sticker with activation code on the laptop. When I enter the activation code here I get the message telling me to contact the manufacturer. Is there any way I...

Not opened the packaging, this way I can return it under Internet Sale of Goods within 14 days no questions asked.

Think I'm going to return it. From googling I've found this link https://www.hgst.com/support/hard-drive-support/warranty-returns/packaging-instructions/acceptable-packaging-examples showing acceptable packaging which indeed matches with what I've received in the past. I agree, not worth...

Advice pleaase, am I being paranoid? I've just bought a new WD Red 3TB OEM drive. I was delivered by DPD. It came packaged in a box sized 18x15x4.5 cm, the drive is 15x10.5x3 cm. Inside the box the drive was wrapped in one sheet of large-bubble bubble wrap. All the bubbles were burst and the...

There are at least a couple of Intel boards with PCIe4x + 2xminiPCIe. I have a DH61AG that I got for ~70 on eBay, theres also the more recent DQ77KB. If you can find these somewhere then you could convert either of the miniPCIe slots to PCIe-1x. <edit> Just did a quick google search and you...

I put together a system for my dad at christmas and there's an issue I don't understand. It's running Windows 8 (clean install) on on an Intel DH61DL motherboard, latest bios, i5-2400, crucial dimms, atheros ar9280 wifi card, m4 ssd, liteon bluray. When the system goes to sleep after the...

Here's the PC I've just put together for my dad. This has taken a few months bargain hunting but I've been in no rush. The case had to be modded slightly to fit the shuriken. It will be upgraded to Windows8 come launch (and the upgrade promotion) £61 - Antec isk300-65 (new) £12 - 120W LiShin...

Arnold & Andrews are still 1 month for standard ADSL. 12 months for FTTC though. I've been with them for a few years and would highly recommend depending on your usage profile. No good for 9-5 or torrent users I would guess.

My parents have multiroom and have no phone connection to either box so this can't be applied 100%.

Not under Linux AFAIAA. Last I checked (not long ago) the advice was a GT220 or GT430 and don't go near AMD.

2x debian boxes, 2x atheros ar9280 mini-pice cards, 2.4GHz, 15' through one (boast) wall :D

Unless you need something tiny I'd say you'd be much better off with standard bookshelf speakers. I feed a duet into a TA2020 driving JBL Control1 speakers in the kitchen. I think this was spot on £100 and for the money I reckon it's top notch. If you don't mind second hand then you can...

Thanks, just signed them up there as they seem about the cheapest and don't have a tie in period. Not terribly impressed with the £25 mac transfer fee, though I guess they'll likely stay for a while so should make it back.
