    PCSPECIALIST F1 2022 - Finally has VR

    I've never bothered with any of the F1 racing games up till now. Without VR they just won't do it for me as once you've gone VR, you can't go back IMO. After the race today I thought I would have a look and see what the current lay of the land was with the F1 franchise.... only to find that...

    PCSPECIALIST Crucible 2022

    I've been on and off the snooker this week. Always been a big fan but I've struggled with timing in recent years. I've caught some great matches, so if the rest has been anything like what I have witnessed it's been a fantastic tournament. I've always said that Stephen Hendry is the best player...

    PCSPECIALIST Keep this in mind before you upgrade your RAM

    I was literally just about to hit the button to purchase 32GB of Corsairs RGB RT 3600Mhz CL16 (it's purdy) when I thought I would just double check the AMD 7000 series future expectations. I knew that DDR5 was obviously going to be on the cards but I didn't realise that Intel is, likely, the...

    PCSPECIALIST Homebrew Home - Getting there

    I've been working really hard in my house. I moved in in Feb and I feel like I've done nothing so I've been ripping up room by room. Unfortunately I've ended up overwhelmed but everyone loves a challenge. Some of you may remember that I'm into homebrew. I've got a storage type room above my...

    PCSPECIALIST UE5 - Matrix Demo

    Apologies if this is already up, I may have missed it. I spotted this last week and I was absolutely blown away with the visuals. I've not actually played the game, just watched the demo. Anyone tried it? Thoughts? If the real experience is like this it's next gen, no doubt. I'm watching very...

    PCSPECIALIST Anyone watching the Arras?

    Mixed bag for quality of darts but the competition is thrilling. It's been proper edge of your seat matches with the exception of Price who just absolutely steamrolled his opponent. Gary Anderson pulled it out the bag from 3-0 down to win 4-3. Seems like the way of the Scotsman this year as...

    PCSPECIALIST Elden Ring - 8 Awards, GOTY edition before it's released?

    This game has been on my radar for a while. I've seen it mentioned a few times over the past few months. What's the thoughts? I was just catching up with the latest on it and noticed that it's won 8 awards already. How that's possible I've no idea, they clearly hand them out 10 a penny.... but...

    PCSPECIALIST VR - Inception

    This is wild that this works.... but it does, and I love it! I love VR, it's my only real gaming vice. I have an Index setup in my "Games" room but that's currently going through a whole refurb so in order to get my VR fix I stumped up for an Oculus Quest 2. Facebook shenanigans aside I...

    PCSPECIALIST Just ordered Oculus Quest 2 for PC Gaming

    I have been going around this one for a little while. Some of you will know that I have a pretty decent home VR setup (index) so it may seem strange that I've opted for this as well. I'm decorating my games room and getting it all properly wired etc. During this time it's going to be out of...

    PCSPECIALIST Big Plans - Cable Solutions

    Anyone got any neat solutions for cable tidying? I'm planning my games room at the moment and it's just a spiders web of cables going all over the place. My main consideration is floor cabling (for now). What do people use to keep them out of sight? In my previous home I could access underneath...

    PCSPECIALIST Black Friday 2021 26th November- What are you after?

    I'm hoping to get a Mesh Wifi system. Looking at the XT8 as I want Tri-Band & Wifi 6. The only downfall I can see is that it's £600 for a triple setup. I'm in a 50s bungalow with some proper walls in it. Currently have a decent router (GT-AC5300) which has Tri-band but it literally doesn't put a...

    PCSPECIALIST How smart is your home?

    I've had Alexa for a number of years now, various guises. A few years back I got myself a few of the plug-in smart sockets. I connected them to lamps around my home and used them for when I was away on holiday etc. Due to the convenience factor I just let them run on a timer, where they come on...

    PCSPECIALIST Atsa Spicy Meataballa

    £2555 with the H150i Capellix that I would be getting. Around £500 more than my current system, which wasn't cheap for me. I would love the 3080Ti but I just could never justify it. Interestingly, Going to compare a hard-line open loop system. Case CORSAIR OBSIDIAN SERIES™ 500D SE CASE...

    PCSPECIALIST Psychology - Don't you just love how the brain works?

    I've always been intrigued by human psychology. My brain is extremely logic based and analytical. My background is engineering but in all honesty I think I was born an engineer as I just have a curious mind on how things work. This has never been purely limited to mechanical objects though, I've...

    PCSPECIALIST DLAA - Paired with DLSS this is going to be significant

    Read rumblings about this a while back. Officially released a couple of days ago. https://www.techradar.com/uk/news/nvidia-dlaa-is-a-new-take-on-dlss-and-could-be-seriously-cool-for-rtx-gpus If this carries across to VR it's going to have a huge impact for me.

    PCSPECIALIST You thought spec-ing a PC within budget was hard.....

    Some of you may know that I've had an inkling to get myself a Vinyl setup for a little while. I've been nipping @SpyderTracks ear on more than one occasion and on Monday I finally got the ball rolling properly. I wanted to keep within the realms of sanity budget wise, I had planned a couple of...

    PCSPECIALIST Mortal Kombat Series

    Got Mortal Kombat XL as part of my PS subscription. Just started playing it today. Obviously it's an older game (2015ish) but it's absolutely fantastic. I've been completely away from the PvP fighters since Streetfighter on the PS4 and didn't realise just how much they had moved on. I'm really...

    PCSPECIALIST Help!! What on earth is this song - Earworm!!

    I was watching a Jayz2Cents vid on youtube and an ad came on. The music instantly struck a chord with me but I had instinctively hit skip just as fast as I could, so I was very limited with my time. I am absolutely positive I know the song, I've most definitely heard it before but the...

    PCSPECIALIST Too good to be true? 4k 144hz £250?

    I'm positive there's going to be some sort of catch here. Whether it be a typo or something like that, I have no idea. It does seem too good to be true. However, if this is above board and you're looking for a monitor..... I would get in quick...

    PCSPECIALIST The Chicken Fiasco!

    Some of you may remember a while back I was asking for some advice on keeping chickens. Well, I got them and they were great little things but it didn't all go according to plan. I found a guy who bred various birds and had a fresh lay of baby chicks on the go. I specifically asked him for hens...
