I got the NZXT Hush and it's a very good case, the build quality is excellent and the sound dampening does a good job. The finish on the materials is also very good and I can't really fault the case, perhaps my only gripe is that a few of the front panel-MOBO connectors are quite loose and can...

Yar there was a story on... The Register? the other day about this, they're planning to change it to that permanently, personally I think it looks abit childish or simplistict, not my cup of tea. I hope it doesn't change my iGoogle homepage.

I'm looking to buy a new laptop after Christmas, oddly enough it's ended up that I'll have quite abit of spare cash after Christmas this year, and I'm planning on grabbing a laptop with one of the Arrandale's (probably) out on the 11th Jan. Problem is there's nothing to browse yet - I can't...

I need to do a clean install of win 7 (currently 32-bit Vista, need 64-bit) and have a clean install disk I made for another installation. The problem is that my parents have no removable storage to back anything up, the PC does have 2 partitions on the HDD however - is it possible to install...

Hmm as I now seem to have my system stable (9.11 drivers, finally) I gave this a go last night but seem to have an issue - when I log in it says I've logged into a temporary account and my files will be deleted when I log off, I also seem unable to save any files *anywhere* (it allows me to...

Unlike a lot of the guys above I've got an XFX 5850 - no issues for the 30 minutes idling before I updated to the ATi drivers I d/l'ed and now I have a whole bunch of issues. Card ocassionally runs fans at 100%, sometimes won't output video before/after BIOS load screen, whenever I do get to log...

Hi, I've put together a new system with 2 500Gb f3's, one will be for OS + apps, other for data. I'll be using Windows 7, used the RC1 for a few months and happy with it, hopefully it will install fine (student download - maybe corrupt). Now my question is: is it possible to move the user...

I guess this could go in either cases or motherboards, but as it's the mobo that concerns me, up it goes: I just installed my new system into an NZXT Hush case and I'm yet to power it up, I've been holding off as the screws used to mount the board seem unusual. Supplied with the case there...

And it's all ordered, bar the 5850... *fireworks* I'll have to refine my page refresh skills to ninja-like levels to ensure I get one soon :p I decided to treat myself and picked up a G11 + MX518 while the keyboard is on offer, I've been meaning to replace my crappy Desktop Wave set for ages...

Heh that's a little bit out omy price range at it's current price of £230, I was thinking more £150 for the monitor, possibly the 24" Acer V243HBD 1920x1080 which is bang on £150 right now... Any advice on the brand of 5850, I've heard good things about the XFX and BFG but they seem to be in...

Your as bad as my uncle, for some reason he found it more "convenient" to place his Pc on the extreme right of his desk and so had nowhere to place the mouse - he spent a long long time learning to get his left hand up to scratch for FPS :p I'd get a G11 + MX518 - the G11 is currently on...

http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/magazine/8253915.stm Interesting article which was posted at a similar time to one saying the EU would strengthen the distance selling laws, offering more protection to consumers. This more recent news seems abit of a turn around imo.

Check out the G.Skill DDR3 - much better than the Corsair once OC'ed to 1866MHz, that'll save you £10-15 and net better parts. If you then drop the Blu-Ray you'll have just enough for a 5850 instead of the 5770 which isn't really all that great for gaming. The alternative would be to keep...

On the subject of monitors, 2/5ms - I can afford a 22" 2ms or a 5ms 24" which would you advise for gaming? I know the 5ms will result in ghosting/motion blur but is this really that obvious? Fake edit: I've just found a 24" 2ms display: Acer V243HBD but can't find any reviews, does anyone...

If your looking for a graphics card to go with a core i7 build you really need a high end card - 3850X2/4770 simply won't do the rest of the build justice. I would recommend a 5850 if you can wait for one (I'm in this boat atm, it's even worse with a P55 as theres no integrated graphics at...

£80 saved - that's pretty considerable especially with a 5850 and it nets a larger hdd, never a bad thing. The only thing stopping me switching over to your build is the case and mobo - stupidly this is where the savigns have been made. I've not OC'ed before but I'd like to get the most out...

Ok, unlike the last time I posted a build I have the cash to buy this beast sat waiting in the bank. I'd just like a final once over from you guys here, I've lurked around the forums here long enough to have a good knowlege of the current markets and built PC's before... but it's always nice to...

I'm looking to put together an i5 rig and wanted an opinion on these two items: 850W NorthQ Black Magic Flex 80+ PSU http://www.northq.com/products/powersupply/nq4775-850-flex.html and Silverstone PS01B-W http://www.silverstonetek.com/products/p_spec.php?pno=ps01&area=usa I can...

Sorted the links out, wasn't aware of the rule, atleast I made an effort to use as much OcUK stuff as I could. I found it really odd that they're the one of the few e-tailers that offer so many dual-channel DDR3 kits, not that I'm complaining :p

I've spent an ungodly amount of time researching the various bits and bobs involved in my most recent build, charts from Tom's Hardware, ***** review, OcUK forum advice etc etc etc. After a mad night, which saw me in bed for 3am, I've picked out all the components I should need and I'm ready to...
