    Asus Vulcan ANC earpads have perished, anywhere stock replacements?

    Funny my set has just done exactly the same, also bought around the same time. Short of a needle and thread to try and repair I've gone for a set of Kingston hyper x cloud , managed to track down a pair at a good price unfortunately not from ocuk this time around. Was too good a deal to miss...

    windows 7 fails to boot

    Right it's fixed ! Turns out it was just a simple bios setting. When my son did optimised settings it defaulted the sata controllers to ide when they were originally set to ahci. A simple fix in the end. Machine booted and finished it's system restore. So all ends well, thanks for the advice...

    Good 7.1/5.1 headset thats reasonably priced?

    Define reasonable, they start at £60 and finish at £260. Also wireless or wired. I have yet to try a really good surrounded sound headset as I believe that there isn't enough room within any ear cup to space the speakers out enough. I'd take a look at the logitech and maybe the corsair at under...

    Headset for gaming but mainly music!

    As good as onboard sound can be on the current gen motherboards a dedicated sound card is going to be better. I've read good things about qpad Qh 90's headset as far as sound quality for music, check out bit-tech and vortex's reviews also within your budget. Most gaming headsets are not setup...

    Recomendations for new keyboard

    The CM STORM QUICK FIRE TK with brown switches has white back lighting if I'm not not mistaken. Red on red switches and blue on blue switches. A bit of quick internet searching will get you what you want and for under £70.00 as well. It's the keyboard I wanted but the wife wouldn't let me have...

    New headset

    If you go for the sennheiser, 350's are closed cup vents no sound. 360's vent sound out of ear cups so other people in the room will hear some of what your listening to. Also if you're spending that much on a headset to get the best out of them you really need a good sound card to pair with...

    New headset

    I have not experienced any crackle whilst moving my head and i find that they have plenty of bass to be honest some times too much, but then i can change the sound to suit my taste with the xonar software for my sound card. Have no experience of the CM storm i'm afraid. Good luck with your...

    New headset

    I have the asus vulcan anc headset at the moment, very comfortable good noise cancellation although sound is not as good with anc enabled. The mic could be better not as clear as my old sennh pc 161's. You could also look at qpad qh 90's, www.vortez.net/articles_pages/qpad_qh_90_review,1.html...

    ** Asus Vulcan ANC Gaming Headset Review **

    I upgraded to these from sennheiser pc161's, the mic is not as clear but the sound, comfort and the noise cancelling far out ways the mediocre mic. So comfortable you can wear them for hours. Even better when they cost under £50.00 one day only deal.
