SSDs are £1-1gb ratio if you look for it. I still think at that price its not that great since games are like over 10gb these days (shogun 2 is 15gb).

I would like to change this 750gb sammy F1 to a backup/storage but i just dont need too, i was sad to hear that they sold their hard drive division to seagate. I remember when seagate swallowed up maxtor too.

no thanks, that floppy drive still gets used occasionally, needs an upgrade though really as that 440mx can struggle during certain scenes of crysis if you have the AA turned up too high

EDIT: Its not the slowest computer i've seen though, my friend had to turn down the graphics in minecraft and it still lags a bit

Games are for wussies

j/k

Mine will be for the video editing rig. OS + Adobe Premiere. Then all my project files can go on the 4-drive RAID array

I won't lie, I installed a couple of games on the array just for a laugh, but they're gone now.

looking for sexburga drive (minster) but find fingringhoe (colchester)
those are real places guys

Bo$$ · Jun 13, 2011, 09:27 PM

that can't be good for you mate

MightyMission · Jun 13, 2011, 09:35 PM

Serves me right for not insulating the vrm's on the back of my mobo,i took the heatsink assembly apart and found a puddle!the thermal paste covered cpu and socket were the least of my worries.
Eventually removing the paste was an easy buyt time consuming fix though,i used nail varnish remover and a soft bristled toothbrush for about 2 hours
My eldest boys computer messing up is his fault for covering it with towels to make it quieter

LOL WTF? why did he do that, did you not warn him about obstructing the fan?

cheesy999 · Jun 13, 2011, 09:44 PM

Why would you cover it with a towel? Wouldn't it be better to take a fan out

kurosagi01 · Jun 13, 2011, 11:07 PM

Finally completed Splinter Cell conviction..Next games to complete on my list for the summer are: Another Century's Episode R,AC:Brotherhood,Dead Space 2 on zealot mode,Far Cry 2,Spiderman Shattered Dimension and Mass Effect 2 on hard mode..Which to play to complete 1st i am like quater or half way through zealot mode for Dead Space 2.

MightyMission · Jun 14, 2011, 08:22 AM

he is only 11 cheesy,and i dont bother checking his tip of a room to notice his computer is hidden in a mess of towels!
but yes if he would have said something about the noise i would of course have sorted something.
Kuro: i havent completed SC:C yet but i am making good pace into completing FC2,which isnt quite so tedious if you don't get sidetracked into doing too many side missions.
I don't know the other games you mentioned but after FC2 i will begin the epic task of getting 100% in GTA:IV,i have done the ELC missions but the main game has got a long long way to go!
It's going to be a long long time till its completed if we keep having weather like todays too.

kurosagi01 · Jun 14, 2011, 09:08 AM
