    PCSPECIALIST PSU seems to have died on my oldest PC Specialist machine

    Here is the spec: P5K SE 8800GTS 4GB Ram I got this machine back in 07 and the PSU has now given up! I haven't fit a PSU since I was at college and I know a lot has changed since then but I'm confident I can change it easily enough. Was just wondering if this - would be compatible with...

    PCSPECIALIST Another new machine! Few questions.

    This one is for my dad. He is finally convinced it is time to get rid of his old pentium 4 build! Will be used for word, excel and internet mainly with all these running at once. Shouldn't need too much but he does want something quite powerful and quiet. This is what I was thinking: Case...

    PCSPECIALIST Wireless suggestions for desktop

    Hey guys, I have given my old PC to my brother and he needs a wireless internet connection. I have no experience with this at all as I've never used wireless internet. Just looking for some suggestions for a cheap, fast, reliable option. MoBo is an ASUS P5K SE so looks as if it could be...

    PCSPECIALIST Arrived today :) but a couple of questions.

    All set up and with pictures. :D My second PCS machine is here and I'm very happy with it! Looking nice and sleek and running like a dream. It's supposed to have 2 x 640GB drives in Raid 1 but I can only see the 1 drive? I'm not quite sure how Raid works though so perhaps I'm looking in the...

    PCSPECIALIST Will this change of case be OK?

    I've ordered my PC now and was thinking of changing the case from a HAF 912 plus to the Fractal Design R3. The machine is mainly for music production but I will be doing some gaming too. Is the R3 going to be cool enough without having to add extra fans myself? Here is the spec: Case...

    PCSPECIALIST How does this look?

    The system will be used primarily for music production on Cubase 5 and FL Studio 9 but I also do a bit of gaming. Having all the graphics up full doesn't bother me too much and I only have a 19" "standard" monitor so res' doesn't have to be high either. I've also got an Echo Mia Midi soundcard...
