any one got a stick of DDR3 ram (1600 or higher) they'd be willing to sell for less than £30?

Well it cost me a BenQ 24" + £120 as a trade, so I'd probably opt somewhere around the £140 range plus postage.

I like the idea of 1440pbut not the idea of a 27 inch monitor sadly, I had a 27 inch a while ago albeit 1920 x 1200 but it was just too big for me, couldn't get on with it for some reason, otherwise I would have been in on yours at that price!

25 quid to you including postage Thats a 4GB stick of Team Xtreeme LV 1.5V 2133mhz. They will walk 1600mhz @ CL8 and possibly tighter should you wish.

1200p@27 inch you need to sit back from. 1440 and 1600 you can sit closer as they are more a monitor res. 19/12 is perfect at 24 inch.

It's not just that, it's the fugly size of the thing and having to adjust to a higher view, I have a study suite with a desk that has the raised monitor stand which makes it even higher lol.

Been using a 1080p 27 inch monitor for a year now, would never move back.... it's perfect for anything

Your not the only one who wants a new case i tell ya. I want one just to mount a 280mm rad.

Most of the basic cases these days support 240 as standard. I know my little mATX DS supports 280mm rad on the top. I bet you can find a decent enough case that looks sleek to fit a proper rad in there. Thinking of going custom w/c?

I was thinking of building a machine like that for the girlfriend. I've got the case and PSU and my 1080p IPS screen is spare. The 5150 + mobo + RAM + SSD(crucial mx100) come to around £150 total on amazon

I have an HAF lying around unused somewhere

I'll tell you what Tatty - Take that AK-47 you have on your mantlepiece, call up a friend who can hook you up with some 7.62mm tracers, take the case into the garden and proceed to fill it with some hot lead. FPSRUSSIA style. <BadRussianAccent> Comrade </BadRussianAccent>

Oh and record and upload to youtube, though chances are the popo will be searching for you because firearms. They're gonna send the S.A.S after you - failing that MOSSAD, the mossad will get anyone, anywhere at any time - fuck they could even be sneaking up behind you with a rubber knife right now.....


--- Seriously though, I was never a fan of the HAF cases but thanks for letting me know you had one lying around

Pffffft..... Mossad? they aint what they used to be, I have friends in VERY low places

How well does the SAS compare to the other spec ops/counterterrorist or elite units from other countries?

 

[RCoon]

How well does the SAS compare

You mean since years ago? When they raided that building? And one of the SAS guys got stuck on his rope on the way in? And they accidentally killed a lot of people?
I don't know, they can't possibly be worse these days, surely?

Embassy?

 

[Tatty_Two]

They are just about the best all rounder's there are, and it was no accident

 

[RCoon]

and it was no accident

I suppose pushing a grenade wielding terrorist down a set of stairs and shooting him was pretty hilarious in terms of special ops style sieges I imagine the men also had a little joke a few months afterwards as they recalled their staff sergeant on fire stuck on a rope because of a set of curtains.

All that being said, there are dozens if not hundreds of operations the SAS have done that nobody has ever heard about, so they obviously do their job properly the rest of the time.

I do recall talking to a fella in Worcester who trains some of the SAS and Marines in IT style areas, and they apparently carry a hammer and chisel with them, in the event they need to destroy any hardware that needs to be kept out of enemy hands. Can't beat the old fashioned tools eh?

I spent some time in Afghanistan in the very early days with both the Delta Force and the SAS (not same location but I visited often), very different breeds, as an example every morning these 6 feet something yanks with biceps the size of my thighs would be pumping Iron, whilst the SAS would be coming back from a 10 mile run with 100 pounds on their back, to be honest I wouldn't want to get within arms reach of them yanks but hey, they are not going to be moving over great distances with serious weight at speed, they have the strength but not the stamina/endurance........ the very point of the differences are plain to see, the SAS are about survival, speed, stealth and staying power, the Delta Force are about power, strength, control..... both very good at what they do but in different ways.

Did you ever spar with a Delta Force soldier just for training purposes or funsies? Or is something like that not allowed, Im just curious because quite often the US & UK forces would be operating out of the same camp or literally nextdoor to each other.
