Pretty nice for someone using generic cheap crap matts, although I don't see myself replacing my glass one for some time

I am aware of your beautiful creation.

Hello,

Currys / PC World currently have the Steelseries Qck Mini mouse mat on sale for £2.47. I've heard great reviews about this series of mouse mats, and this particular one is perfect for transporting, for LAN parties etc. I've bought one, but they're selling pretty quickly.

Still a better love story than GW2.....

Anyhoo - my desk mount arrived on monday, I havent been able to do anything with it yet cuz ive literally made it home by just after midnight for the last 3 days (I hate this job) the new TP-Link powerlines are in, quite a substantial boost in speed, Still not quite 100meg though but i think the limitation might be the cabling in my house. When downloading my connection used to peak at 60mb/s and drop to about 44-50mb/s sustained, Now im getting about 80mb/s which is OK i suppose.... Not worth the £35 spent but I guess my dad's gotta have some bandwidth after all as we share internet..... He gets 20mb/s and i get the rest = fair deal. Not tested the sustained DL yet but i'll get around to it when i find a porno i like.

Also in is my Logitech G502 'Proteus Core' - not unboxed it yet as ive just managed to sit down after getting in and having a shower so i'll report on that later, if not in a few hours the tomorrow as i also have a day off i think.

Stay tuned

So jealous! Mine hasn't arrived yet.

Where did you order it to? Mine was like a next day delivery to the store, which is like a mile away from my place, so I just went and grabbed it after college.

I ordered it as home delivery, as I was too lazy to pick up. I'm about 10 miles from my nearest store. Do you pay extra for next day delivery at the store?

Nah, it was free.

TP-Link AV200's (complete kit) who wants them?

@LaytonJnr I believe. I might invest in some 500's myself next week.

I am so bitter now.....

I wasted an hour building a dual monitor desk stand only to find that it doesnt fit together properly as it should - screws are longer than they should be - a plastic O-Ring is missing and it makes the joint rattle about as its not as snug. I read the instructions over and over again and ive been messing with it for about an hour and I thought i was going crazy.

Bitterly disappointed because It cost £60 inc delivery but more to the point that i stopped playing warframe so i could set it up and im furious now....

Ive emailed the company who made it & who i bought it from directly and told them that they're gonna need to give me an hours wage along with the refund for wasting my time.


::EDIT::

also im even more so bitter because I took 3hrs off my shift to wait for it to be delivered because no one was home that have been shunted on to my next 3 shifts - 10hr shifts for 3 days....

 

[LaytonJnr]

So it finally came. In a massive box for some reason.

I really like the texture!

Fun fact:

You should probably check that your car radiator has more than a few 100 ml's of coolant before you go on a long journey.
Spent the last 30 minutes of the journey literally shitting myself with the temperature gauge in the red, praying it wouldn't break down, only to find my radiator fluid is not even visible from the inlet this morning.

Also, does anyone here actually like Earl Grey Tea? I prefer not to have milk in my hot drinks myself, and I'm a partaker of green tea and lotus. Would be interesting to know how we are not all that stereotypical when it comes to tea.

 

[FreedomEclipse]

Did it not occur to you to pull in to the nearest petrol station and fill the radiator up?

As for tea, unfortunately im stereo typical. But i drink green, jasmine, Pu-erh (aka 'bo-lay' amongst us chinese folk), or Oolong tea occasionally

Pu-erh and Oolong are black tea's

I'm not a big tea drinker, but I do like myself a nice bit of green tea every once in a while.

 

[ne6togadno]

i prefer black teas and earl gray is one of my favorites. i like also black tea with honey&cinnamon and pure peppermint

So I've noticed the Buy/Sell/Trade/Giveaway forum seems like a pretty strict forum with all of its rules. I have yet to use this aspect of the TPU community, so I would like some advice. What I was wanting to do is to ask under the [WTB] tag for parts for a budget mini-ITX that I have been tasked with building. So what I would ask is for the same parts (either new or in good condition) that I currently have planned for a lower price, or better parts that have been used for the same price as the part I have chosen (i.e. a better CPU for the cost of the current one I have chosen). This may free up some more money for the build.

My question really is whether this is allowed, and whether this kind of ask is worth it.

Make the thread with [WTB][EU] tags, sign up for Heatware and post your Heatware profile in the thread, put what you are looking for specifically, and then if anyone has the gear you need and they are selling, you can barter with them.

As it happens I have a spare Silverstone SG-07 ITX case with a 550w inbuilt Bronze PSU that is currently gathering dust. More than welcome to PM for proof of ownership and what not.

EDIT: Beware of the trade forum trawlers. I've dealt with two fellas from the UK who trawl the forums looking for a cheap grab or try to fob off some crap to people. I don't recall what their names were, but always ask and check their heatware

Thanks for the advice! I may consider the case, but I'll have to check with the client. They are rather picky.
