    PCSPECIALIST What are you driving at the moment?

    Nice motor @barlew I'm selling my JDM Legacy to free up some space, what with SWMBO's Outback and my two Land Rovers - space is at a premium! This one's my favourite, 3.9l V8

    PCSPECIALIST Ambient Temperature

    To be honest I think that's gonna be a major problem from the get go. I'm in desperate need of a new office chair, but the budget disappeared into the new rig...

    PCSPECIALIST Ambient Temperature

    Interesting! If I keep the desk in there the only other problem is how to keep me cool! Any tips for that? :ROFLMAO:

    PCSPECIALIST Ambient Temperature

    Common sense advice required! As my PC is in testing, I have been getting my work area set up. I had intended to have my desk in the conservatory but, as expected from the great British weather, we are now mid heatwave and it is rather, er, warm in there. I popped a thermometer in there...

    PCSPECIALIST rtx 3070 sales preference according to upgrade / build ?

    I would assume that to be the case, unless there is a wide variance in build times dependant on the member of staff designated to build it, or maybe the ease of build with the pc case? Do you think it's likely that a PC in testing today might be delivered on Wednesday? I'm trying not to get my...

    I don't know; coming in here, waving your Ti's around all over the place, making us future poverty spec 3070 owners feel all poor and sad. Terrible.

    PCSPECIALIST Broadband speed and price

    Every day I thank my lucky stars; especially with the last 18 months being as they were. Except in winter when there's snow drifting up to 8 foot, the sheep are all buried and the wife needs to pop out to Aldi for a pint of milk. Then I wonder why we left the village :ROFLMAO:

    PCSPECIALIST Broadband speed and price

    Ok, I admit, I'm losing in the broadband speed stakes but there are perks to living on the doorstep of a national park... Neighbours? Half a mile down the road! Off street parking? Acres and acres - park where you like! Rural house prices gone up 80% this year? No drama - we're already here!

    PCSPECIALIST Broadband speed and price

    This is the exact setup that we have, kind of. We have a 3 sim but we swapped out the Huawei router for a better alternative, again I cant remember off the top of my head just what it is, and then we added the external aerial which helped a lot. I bet if I revisited it now there would be even...

    PCSPECIALIST Broadband speed and price

    Yeah, it was rough. My wife and I moved back to the farm from our house in civilisation where we had fibre - which was awesome. We were then confronted with; 1.5Mbps broadband and 'well, its quicker than dial up!'. The 4g is pretty good, it would be improved if we had better line of site to the...

    PCSPECIALIST Broadband speed and price

    You lot don't know you're born! We have two options - broadband at 1.5Mbps or 4g at 25Mbps. I can't remember the price we pay for the 4g off the top of my head but I seem to remember it was very reasonable, especially as it is uncapped. The reason for the horrendously slow broadband speeds is...

    PCSPECIALIST How Rude...

    It seems I have overlooked an important aspect of the forum! I have been here for a few weeks now, received some very helpful info about my PC build and done a lot of general lurking - and I never popped in to say hello! I am a soon to be first time PC owner. Gaming history is PS1, Xbox, Xbox...

    PCSPECIALIST 5600X RTX 3070 Build

    Last post on the spec of this machine - I promise! I am now on day 18 of pre production so I anticipate it may go into building this week. To recap, I have an MSI Optix G27CQ4 165hz 1440p monitor and will be using the machine to replace my console, and for office work. Spec as below, although...
