    PC blew up - sparks

    Hey all thanks for the replies. @EsaT I took the chance of giving the case a dedusting before I attached the new PSU so I removed all the cables and replaced them with the new ones that came with it. That plus the new one had different shape plugs from the older unit so had no choice. So...

    PC blew up - sparks

    Hey all, So here is what happened. I was gaming last week and my PC decided to shut itself down mid game and refused to turn back on. I quickly narrowed it down to the PSU as the light on the back of it no longer functioned. To be sure, I replaced the CMOS battery, checked all the cables...

    Worthabuy - Illness?

    Mack is about the only reviewer I follow, I personally enjoy his OTT, bell spammed, cynical take on things with zero influences from sponsors. He doesn't get the millions of subscribers like the mainstream creators do so I respect him for that, infact I usually stop when videos become too...

    Which Ultrawide to buy?

    Hey all, In the market for a new monitor to replace my dying Philips 40". Which of these would you all recommend? I currently have 980ti SLI but am not loyal to nvidia so may change back to AMD in the future - either way, would like to try out adaptive sync at some point whether its now or...

    **The Mental Health Thread**

    Just heard the words "we need to take a break" from my girlfriend. Been together since we were teens for nearly 10 years, we live together, work together in our own business (which she will be taking with her) and care for each others conditions. We have never been with anyone else and now she...

    Calling all GD scatologists

    LMAO, good memories... But no, I seriously doubt its either of those! It seems to burrow in from underneath, eats all our worms and discarded melons, takes a dirty great big **** and buggers off again. Its the yuckiness between the melon and the onion incase people miss it.

    Calling all GD scatologists

    Something has made its home in our compost bin and is eating all our lovely worms - a rat, we assume and have a humane trap set inside to see if we can catch the bugger. Today we have found droppings which shocked me because of the sheer size. I have kept rats and various rodents over the years...

    Nosebleeds

    As someone who suffered frequent nosebloods growing up, I can really sympathise with you on what a pain in the butt they are. My Father had horrendous nosebleeds too but I luckily grew out of them after countless trips to the ENT for cauterising. (I used to think it was quarter-ising and asked...

    Active shooter in Texas high school

    I have noticed that a lot of these shootings involve the attacker gaining access to a family members weapon. So rather than questionin the laws to obtain a weapon, why aren't we asking why the weapons were not kept secure? Surely even the NRA would agree that guns should be locked away and the...

    Spec me a CCTV System

    Total newb question here - if I wanted to have some IP cameras record direct to a cloud service (mango cam) but without a DVR - is it as simple as plugging in the ethernet cable and tinkering with the router settings?

    Kingdom Come: Deliverance / Open-World RPG / Medieval History

    So far I'm really digging the gameplay - it reminds me of Risen 1/Witcher 1 which is more than I could have asked for. Hardly ever pay much attention to dialogues and cutscenes but finding myself drawn into these, hell 1 even brought a tear to my eye which is a first! Running 30-40 FPS medium...

    Oculus Rift

    Recently extended my rift/sensors with some cables mentioned in this thread (cable matters 2m USB and uGreenHDMI 2m) and it works 99% of the time but seems to get signal loss every so often on the Headset. This just something I have to live with considering its not officially supported?

    Still addicted the Pandemic:The Cure which my GF got me for Christmas - only just started to get into board games so don't have much else ... yet. :D Bought Forbidden Desert which was great fun - really am enjoying the coop games. Then played Eldritch Horror which was a huge step up in...

    Has anyone had success converting 2D to 3D/and or VR, any good programmes for this?

    Only tried VorpX in Skyrim so far which worked but jeez did it feel uncomfortable - beginning to see how good VR designed games really are.

    H&M Racism storm

    Reminds me of this from South Park.. As mentioned already - doesn't the whole action of calling it out as racist, actually make it racist? We got called "little monkeys" all the time as kids - its just something people do because, well you know - we used to get up to mischief and act like...
