Recently I have had the urge (and perhaps more importantly) the funding to upgrade. I know many of you like to keep up with the latest tech news, and lately I have had very little time to keep up with it. Basically I don't want to spend much more cash on my current rig as upgrading one part...

So basically I got a quadcopter for Christmas and its kinda kindled my interest. I currently have a parrot AR 2.0 and id describe it as a great toy but I have a hankering for something more. Particularly with regards to the camera as the one on the AR seems sub par at best... and I can only...

I figure most of us fall into roughly the same demographic so I figure you might have roughly the same interests and some cool ideas. So you've got £100 to spend (on amazon, so they pretty much have everything) what would you get? i need to at least load it onto the account soon or it will...

Firstly, I suspect I shouldn't really be admitting this but I cant believe everyone knows about it... I suspect they do and I'm just a bit slow on the uptake but now I've found it, I have no idea how I will ever live without using it. Middle click, since when was that even a thing... Click the...

For anyone who hasn't noticed, the X99 Platform is now live. For the first time in what feels like ages, the enthusiast grade chips now make some sense. More cores, DDR4, extra PCIe lanes without paying Xeon prices. From what I've seen the 5820k look to be a really nice chip and I can see...

Just wondering if anyone collects anything as a hobby, mainly started by this news item about a stamp that went for £5 million. http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-us-canada-27890106 Over the past couple of years I have found myself collecting various things but have always drifted away from them...

Well I say mechanic, I mean anyone who does work on their own car would probably be enough. Basically something went clump, rattle rattle rattle earlier today. Tonight I managed to locate the problem, after removing all the lining in the boot i see one of the rear shocks is no longer attached...

For the benefit of anyone looking to buy a slightly lower price custom build than is often reviewed here, I will give my thoughts on the spec we just received. Take my thoughts as you find them, I obviously post a bit here but that does not mean I would hold back any criticism if warranted...

So i think i have worn my keyboard out, mostly due to long winded replies on here. I need to get a new one because this cheap of one i got bundled in with a dell AGES ago (Maybe 2004-2005 ish) really is starting to play up big time. Trying to reply to a post these days is a game of spot the...

Hmm yeah looks like two cables to me, so yeah you will want to remove both those and re insert em. Basically your going to want to remove and re seat all those detachable PSU cables unless one is obviously for the GPU. I cant get a good angle on it to see whats what and I have never worked on...

You wont often find me in this section of the forum so hello to anyone I've not met before. Hopefully some of you are creative enough to help me out. Wont bore everyone with the details, but after being made redundant yesterday I am now looking to buy a fish and chip shop. Have actually been...

Is it just me or in the past couple of days has anyone else notices the PCS website is loading a bit slowly? When I'm flicking through the different configurators, helping people build a spec it seems the site is a bit more sluggish than usual. Is it just me, or is anyone else getting it too...

I must admit i am more used to dishing out advice on this forum than asking for it but i hope someone can help me out a little with regards to my choice in GPU. Over the last 6-8 months i have had just about 0 time for anything to do with my computer, keeping up with the latest releases or even...

To cut a long story short, when i bought my pc about 6 months ago i had no real intention to game on it, so i left out a dedicated GPU knowing i could add a mid ranged one in at a later date without much trouble should i decide to play a few games. From the day i got the pc i have been thinking...

When i was speccing my pc i decided to skip adding a gpu as i had no real use for it, i did however up my PSU so i could accomodate one in the future. Now im tempted by some of the latest games coming out, and have started to look at the latest GPU offerings. My problem is that i put in a 450W...

Im really not sure if this poses a problem or not but i would feel better if someone in the know could help me out. I had a look inside my pc and noticed that the DVD drive was connected to one of the SARA 3gb/s ports of my motherboard which is affected by the sandybridge issue. I went on the...

Got my new pc today, its brilliant but their is 1 thing that seem a bit wrong. The hard disk seems to be making a bit of a noise, whenever i write a file, load a webpage, restart or anything that makes the pc do something really their is a kind of bubbling vibrating noise coming from the hard...

Hi again, i originaly got help with a spec just before christmas but never got round to buying it / being able to take delivery of it. Now i have taken advantage of the opertunaty to upgrade to the new sandybridge CPU's and would appreciate some advice on a few points below the spec. Case...

I have been waiting to order my pc, and was wondering if anyone from pcs would be able to tell me if they would be building or dispacting orders between christmas and new year. I myself an working over christmas and only off after new year. So im not sure if i should go for pre christmas...

About the 10th thread iv posted asking for advice so sorry in advance... In theory i now have a budget of about £1200 against my original £600 thanks to a nice little wager on the winner of the F1 world championship. I have had advice on a spec maxed out at £600 before and am making 1 last...
