In other more exciting news, I have to go through all of these old HDD's and secure erase them individually using the Parted Magic Secure erase firmware command. Some of them are inevitably locked by security BIOS services, so sometimes i even have to put in some effort. Shouldnt take me too long, should it?

Fraid not, though it was depressing enough for two grown men to go into an entirely empty unfurnished flat (even the water mains werent turned on) and drink two bottles of wine while reminiscing about the past and complaining about the damn kids outside the window on their scooters.

54th said id get the case at the latest next friday, so im preparing everything. A few bits have slowly arrived, got some thicker tubing, need to get some distilled water and biocide though.

Its easy to talk about "stuff" just reply with magnolia, or if you feel ballsy, tell her the dress doesnt make her look fat, the fact shes fat makes her look fat.

I did once buy a TV through my old school from a supplier, and gently told my account manager it wasnt quite for work. They didnt object

But some suppliers can be a little angry.

FreedomEclipse · Aug 12, 2013

well Its hard drives - shouldn't seem so out of the ordinary since you have a stack of them sitting on the desk except you're only ordering 4 instead of 30-50

Sadly this grammar school has auditors, otherwise I'd be glad to help a man out with some VAT free HDD's.

FreedomEclipse · Aug 12, 2013

slip them £20 to look the other way, still save cash on VAT for 4 lol

Let them do their audit, you can always write HDD off by saying its "broken". A special £100 "donation" will smooth things :toast:

No one told me H100i fans are loud, they sound like hoovers. Back to stock cooler until I find a fix.

They're quieter than the H100 stock fans, which I have 4 of because they're so effective, I guess I'm just used to the noise and having a big headset and all. Bitfenix Spectre Pro PWM's, xinrulean 120's are very quiet and effective, or you can go for the corsair SP's

LOL i just done that gpart, got rid of the stupid partitions by resizing the main. but now windows cant boot from it...

luckily i found a spare HDD with win8 on so trying to find a way to keep my fresh install partition, may even do a quick format and clone.

Hmm, should still be bootable, try the command line to make a disk drive bootable?

d1nky · Aug 12, 2013

its ok, a fresh install and drivers in 10 minutes LOL (not including games)

but I copied my steam folder... and origin/ubisoft I don't care for!

How can you claim warranty with the slot ripped off? surely they would refuse it? And £130 :laugh:

Yeah that was a joke. And I'm sure you can send that off, looks like just re-seating the plastic guide, I'm sure Asus would oblige.

I'd stick it on ebay for £50 myself.

I did tell you the partitions were needed by Windows but your OCD in seeing the partitions wouldn't let it be :slap:

£130? he's either a dick or a complete noob, maybe a bit of both either way it's crippled and probably worth £50 at best

scaminatrix · Aug 13, 2013

Hey all just picked up these; can anyone recommend any good games (that aren't WarThunder

) or should I just sell it?

Got them dirt cheap btw, might be worth making a profit?

NdMk2o1o · Aug 13, 2013

I'm not into flight sims though that looks pretty badass, I want a go!!! :cool:

That looks awesome. My grandad was an RAF pilot, and he still plays flight sims :cool:

How much were they?

EDIT: Kerbal space program, Ace combat, Tom clancy HawX (These are fast entertaining games, maybe Microsoft Flight Sim would suit better)

FreedomEclipse · Aug 13, 2013

DCS World there are quite a few DLC's for this sim but it costs money lol like £22 per DLC you get different air craft though. It used to be they used to sell the DLC's as standalone expansions.

I have DCS-A-10 Warthog sim in my steam collection but i cant find it in the store anymore apart from the DLC. you'll have plenty of fun with that.

Id recommend using flight controls with ARMA II or BF3 but BF3 joystick controls have always been broken unless youre flying helo's
