The TPU UK Clubhouse

[LaytonJnr]

Well good news (for those who have seen my last posts) I have acquired a new job which I'm starting this week and have also met a new lady friend and things seem to be going really well, so all in all life is looking good again, though I still have a lot of loose ends to deal with namely finding a new less expensive place to live in and getting back on track money wise, so needs must. I am going to be selling my rig to help to make my first month in work a little bit easier money wise. I don't use it as much as I used to, hardly game any more and can do most other things on my phone. Currently this is what I'm rocking, not the best but still plenty of oomph for everything I need to do as well as some 1080p gaming which is still does fine:


Intel Core i5 3570k unlocked processor (Quad core, 3.4GHZ stock)
Gigabyte GA-Z77-DS3H Motherboard
8GB (2x4GB) GSkill DDR3 RAM 2133MHZ
Nvidia Geforce 460 768MB PCIE Graphics Card
2TB Seagate Barracuda SATA2 Hard Drive
Antec Vp500W Power Supply

Benq 24" 1080p LCD
Logitech Z550 5.1
Zalman mouse and
Razer Lycosa KB

Basically am looking to get rid of the lot as fast as possible, is £400 asking too much for the lot for a quick sale?

*Note to mods I am not offering for sale here, it's listed on an external site, should I decide to sell on TPU it will be listed on BST with all relevant pics etc

Sounds like a good price, and you could probably ask for more. Would've been tempted by some of those items if you were selling separately.

You can put your cpu between two pieces of foam rubber(polyurethane) and just stick them two together with some sticky tape.

 

[Bo$$]

or some bubble wrap will do

many people do this, but also use some type tape with a piece of foam to hold the cpu down in case it comes loose and to protect it.

i think that is a little unnecessary

Depends on the platform and socket tbh, I moved my 4100 in an Asus mobo and the clip was loose.

cocaine?

A rubber hammer to the face while I'm piloting a boat held up by hot air balloon in fact.

Those interested in what I'm talking about, it's on my stream:

Better than coke but not as good as what rcoon said lol


Fuck nearly put a kiss on the end thinking I was texting my missus!!

 

[FreedomEclipse]

I had no idea you were recording/streaming

 

[RCoon]

I had no idea you were recording/streaming

I wet myself everytime I replay the noises you make as you tell me to "take the hammer you apple, yeah"

We should stream with you more often, I always stream with Brad (8bitpineapple) and Dave(unholywar), and you seemed to improve on the humor.

Id love to be part of your streaming party - sadly getting home at 11pm-1am at night and working most weekends doesnt really help with trying to work it into the schedule. Do you use twitch to record/stream or MSI Afterburner?

NVidia Shadowplay actually, keeps the overheads extremely low and does a good job of cutting my gaming res of 1440p down to 720p better than most other streaming programs I've used. We don't stream on a schedule, but I start streaming as soon as I get to home until I stop playing games pretty much, so people just drop in on TS and join the chat.

I guess i'll have to stop myself making racially offensive slurs in that case -- Not that i make a lot of them anyway, but when the rest of the world is watching certain standards have to be met. Unless we're just a bunch of rowdy lawless rednecks in which case why the hell would we even know what a computer or internet is?

 

[Bo$$]

What game is that? i want to play with you guys!!!

 

[FreedomEclipse]

Guns Of Icarus. Ive only played it for the first time yesterday but from what i hear its an OK game but the amount of enjoyment you get out of it mainly depends who your fellow shipmates are.

 

[LaytonJnr]

We should start a Guns of Icarus clan - I play it too. Would be awesome to play with you guys - currently rocking a level 3 Engineer (with a rubber mallet).

Bought it £2.16 not bad actually

The game is terrible, genuinely terrible, unless you have shipmates that you know/are capable of understanding the basics of the game. With these guys the game is ridiculous fun and most of the time hilarious. I'm amazed we won as many games as we did, but it takes some getting used to. We already have 4 players, but most matches are 2v2, so we could use a second batch of 4 crew for a second ship. Of course somebody needs to be the designated driver like me, and have an engi and a couple of gunners.

One of those gunners usually doesnt repair or shoot anything, but jumps around the cockpit with his rubber hammer all the time.

All are welcome on Teamspeak if you have it (I think Bo$$ already does) for everyone else, it's
