    PCSPECIALIST Peanuts!

    I used to get in some nuts called 'Beer nuts'. This was 20-25 years ago, in the midlands. They were basically peanuts in their skins perhaps with a faintly sweet wash (though I might be imagining that, it was so long ago) and they looked quite uniformly brown. They were COVERED with large salt...

    PCSPECIALIST A truly special record for any vinyl fans

    Is there anyone in addition to mobile fidelity that you'd recommend? I've been getting into vinyl and mine are mostly charity shop second hands or Amazon 'pot luck' new pressings. I send back about 1 in 5 from Amazon as being really muddy or otherwise rubbish.

    PCSPECIALIST Laptop help needed

    Hi I'm looking for help with a Laptop, for my brother in law. His budget is about £800-900, though this comes in under (I can give him the option of larger storage if he wants, without breaking the bank). Use case is light video editing and streaming exercise classes (he doesn't game). Windows...

    And don't worry, PCS have an open case policy, you won't void the warranty just by opening it up and taking a look, only of you damage something and checking eg the RAM is seated right is fine. edit ninja'd

    PCSPECIALIST PC specs up for PCVR?

    You have had some great advice on this thread, particularly in terms of AMD being better than Intel. I can't make you listen to the advice but just to add to it - my work pc is still running fairly decent VR on a 970 gpu but I can't upgrade the gpu because of the psu being crap. My advice is to...

    PCSPECIALIST Lockdown - What's Worth a Watch?

    Just found this post, here's a few from me, sorry if I missed a post with them in: Spirited (on prime, might be ex-BBC, funny & well crafted ghost story.

    PCSPECIALIST Call someone you haven't spoken to in a while

    The first lockdown was fine for me but the later ones were a real struggle with anxiety (had my first jab last week and that really helped, it was like I was letting out a breath I hadn't realised I'd been holding in). I dug out the exercise bike and started cycling. I'm working my way through...

    PCSPECIALIST 2021 upcoming gaming releases

    Baldur's Gate three, for me. I can't bring myself to join the early access and ruin it by overplaying the start and falling in love with a character that can't progress so I'm making myself wait.
