Shocking, customs guys are really on it! Already been charged!!! £22 :D

Just got a X-Star DP2710 LED from accessorieswhole on Ebay! £200 less was too good to turn down Here's hoping the tax man doesn't get me!

Thanks for the link, I can't seem to find the review for the Iiyama Prolite XB2779QS-S on that site? Could you send me the link?

Wow, I looked into these ages ago but decided against it at the time. Forgot how cheap they actually are! Is there a general consensus between which is better between the QNIX or X-Star Samsung PLS. Anyone used accessorieswhole on ebay?

Hi, I'm looking at upgrading my monitor. I'm after a 1440 27" monitor that's good for gaming (e.g. BF4) and movies. I'll be upgrading my GFX card soon to a AMD Radeon R9 290X (once non reference coolers come out) or a GTX 780 (depending on a price drop). At the moment I'm looking at...

I have exactly the same issue with my GTX 560 (does it in SLI as well but I've disabled that for now). Especially on the larger maps like Caspian. It's definitely not a heating issue and I've got the latest beta drivers as well. I'm going to try and underclock the card as you guys suggested...

Caleb I have exactly the same issue on my 560ti with the latest beta drivers and the ones before that too. I was having it in SLI as well but have since taken a card out to see if it fixes the issue (which it doesn't). It's a weird one as it doesn't always seem to happen either and it's...

Progress! Thanks Cja123 - I got windows to install on the second attempt after swaping the RAM out. So it does look like one of the sticks is faulty. I'm still not sure its all working 100% though. Had a BSOD straight after windows installed - but hey I'm in now so thats a start! Plus I...

Hi Guys, need a bit of advice (maybe a lot :shadedshu) Just put together a new build, all went fine. Booted first time, installed windows 7 no probs. I updated most of the drivers and started installing some software and windows updates. It was left on overnight and all seemed fine. I ran the...

Thanks guys, that Gigabyte SOC looks like its the way to go!

Hi guys, I've got the upgrade itch, dunno why but its probably cause my 260 has been getting hot and making a stupid amount of noise despite cleaning the dust out. At the moment I'm toying with the idea of a MSI GeForce GTX 470 Twin Frozr II. I'm willing to pay a bit more for a non stock...

Recommend a SSD? Hi Guys, was thinking about getting a 60GB SSD to go with Windows 7. I just read that AnanTech article which was a great help, but also made me realise that this stuff is a bit more complicated than picking up a new HDD! I don't want to spend huge money and only really plan...

Cheers, that's got to be worth a go. I didn't really want to use headphones and this will solve this issue, and its cheaper to boot. Now to find a bluetooth mic!!! Thanks for all the other suggestions. If the bluetooth idea doesn't work out I'll check out your suggestions.

I've never used a headset in games before, but I've been playing a lot of left 4 dead and just brought arma II and mic would be really useful. ATM I use my digital Z-5500s with a creative X-FI, but the X-FI uses a flexi jack so I can't use a mic and digital out at the same time. Hence the...

This is a fairly common problem if u use wireless on Vista. I think the problem is caused by WLAN AutoConfig. If you google the problem there are several fixes out there. I fixed it by installing Vista Anti Lag (VAL). This worked great for me, and its really simple. If you google it you...
