Thanks for the advice, good to know about the graphics - could maybe even just use the graphics card that he currently has, I don't think it's too bad... I've included one anyway for now though. So here's another spec with the SSD put in. I didn't want to go for less than 120GB because 60GB...

My father is a photographer and wants to spend around £500 on a new system. I'm going to put it together for him but I'm not entirely sure about what the bottlenecks are for doing a lot of photo editing. He doesn't work with videos or 3D or anything too graphically intensive so I've put...

The socket only exists on the Xbox as far as I'm aware. The current option that we're looking at is pretty much going to destroy the cabling so was wondering if anyone had any better ideas.

Any thoughts on this? We're using a Microsoft Kinect for a University Project which is mounted on a robot and being used as a vision system for object recognition. The only thing currently limiting the mobility of the robot is the requirement to have the Kinect plugged into a socket. Any...

Is this true for all cases? I was really miffed about this with my Lian Li case which cost me shy of £200 - the noise on the line is absolutely horiffic to the extent that I don't even have it wired up at all because it's an embarassment to a rig that I'm otherwise completely happy with...

Looking very nice - there is plenty space in there to do things right and tidily! Haha and he obviously needs to see a high-end water cooled PC - admit that most of the reason/justification is because you want a schmexy new rig ! :p

Haha found another one - this is absolutely insane but they are pushing RAM and fast storage so I think SSD would really make a difference! http://superuser.com/questions/44926/building-a-fast-visual-studio-machine Would really like to be doing dev with these guys lol

I have an SSD in my desktop and yes it makes a huge amount of different to things like loading up Windows and applications but don't know if it would matter when compiling? Not too bothered about battery life but would prefer if I could sit with it on my lap without becoming infertile lol -...

I'm currently doing a lot of development in Visual Studio on a laptop with 2GB of RAM, a C2D processor and a 5000-odd RPM Hard Drive. Next year I'm going back to Uni so will still be working in Visual Studio but also other IDE's like NetBeans and Eclipse. I have a good spec desktop for...

It eats breakfast all day, every day?

That is really weird - I used the MDPC tool with a HX750 which must be the exact same connectors and didn't have any problems at all - certainly didn't manage to break the tool :confused:

Front: Back: Unfortunately it's not looking like this at the moment - PSU blew up and I haven't got around to braiding the replacement yet :o

Hey just want to say how awesome my RMA experience was with OCUK! My braided PSU blew up the other day and I took it to the post office and posted it at around 2pm on a Thursday afternoon and OCUK had already dispatched a replacement by the Friday afternoon!!! Amazing!! Got my new PSU now and...

Hey Blindfaith - if you take a look at my sig you'll see my build using this case - it's spread over both pages. The cable management is really good - plenty holes for everything to go through and places to screw things down. It's not a huge case but I've seen a triple rad fit into the front...

Lol I wouldn't think so. I remember a guy asking for a student discount from a local when I was in Amsterdam and he got charged double price XD

I braided the PSU - I assume that makes my warranty void? I didn't open it up at all, I just cut the stock braid off and put my own on? Pics in my build log in sig - do you think I will be able to RMA it or not?

Best news ever! <3

This is the noise my Corsair HX650 just made mid-game. Pretty sure it's dead, there is some suspicious dust that came from it's fan that wasn't there yesterday. I don't have anything that can work as a paperclip handy to do the paperclip test but the motherboard isn't even lighting up (it...

Yeah I think people are being a little bit harsh about the epic fail of the name of the project - it's a very rare build that actually looks like what it's named! Anyway moving on... looks great, I've been looking at those blocks (well similar for a different mobo) on the EK website this week...

That braiding looks amazing! Res is very nice too, great project :D
