    PCSPECIALIST Laptop

    Don't think I really need to elaborate after the comprehensive thread title, but I will humour the process and do so anyway :) My girlfriend's laptop (I forget the make) pretty much died a little while ago. I does technically work, but most stuff on it doesn't, even to the extent that things...

    PCSPECIALIST Alfonso Ribeiro does the Carlton on Dancing with the Stars

    http://thechive.com/2014/10/07/alfonso-ribeiro-does-the-carlton-on-dwts-video/ I don't know why, but this just made me happy :) (I would post a direct YouTube video, but every version has no sound for backward copyright reasons...so TheChive it is!)

    PCSPECIALIST GTX 770 or GTX 970

    I think we are on the same page V :) Here is a handy picture of the back of the card (now in its new comfy home) So you can see the VGA to DVI one plugged in, and then there is the visible text pointing to the HDMI port. If I understand it correctly, I need a VGA to HDMI adaptor to plug into...

    PCSPECIALIST Air Duster

    Where have you guys been able to get compressed air from? New GPU arrived today, and would like to give its new home a bit of a once over before I swap it in. However, I think my last can of air is a tad low so need to get some more. I thought a load of shops would stock it, but having been...

    And now, to continue in this week's vein of being actually helpful, here are some pictures: And for extra authenticity, the handy spirit level! As you can see, backed up by the spirit level, the SHIELD is slightly NOT flat when laid on its back, because it has an ever so slightly convex...

    PCSPECIALIST Years of Apple Smugness

    has finally come back to bite them in the behind! http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/technology-29361794 At least now whenever an Apple fanboy makes some quip about viruses or the vulnerability of PCs, we have a trump card! :D

    PCSPECIALIST GTX 770 or GTX 970

    I know Keynesy has a thread about 970 and 980, but I just wanted to separate a query I had so as not to dilute his thread :) Having been looking to upgrade from my 570 (yikes that'd old now!) for a while, and with the release of the 900 series, prices of the older cards naturally came down...

    PCSPECIALIST Jaws died :(

    http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/entertainment-arts-29152398 I am sure this one won't be quite as high profile as some actor deaths this year, but always enjoyed what Richard Kiel did :)

    PCSPECIALIST Great Ball Contraption

    This isn't new, but I hadn't seen it before. I rarely watch the videos that people post on Facebook, and definitely not ones that exceed 30 seconds...however, I hadn't even noticed that this one was 7 minutes long until it finished :D I wish I could Lego as well as this guy :(...

    PCSPECIALIST 770 or 780

    Hi guys, As mentioned in my SHIELD thread, the buggers are now going to sting me for the price of a new GPU :) However, I am unsure what to get. I think my choice boils down to a 770 or 780. Would the price difference be worth it to get the 780? Or secret third option, 12GB Titan Z for...

    PCSPECIALIST Why the Right to be Forgotten falls flat on its arse

    Because every time someone gets something "forgotten" by Google...someone WILL report it so it appears again :) http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/technology-28851366 So now the BBC has reported that those 12 stories have been "forgotten", they are now in a new story that hasn't. Someone in the body...
