And the obscene price for this was

A timepiece worn by Apollo 15 commander Dave R. Scott on the surface of the Moon has sold at auction for an astronomical $1,625,000.

But what was sold was a peice of historical memorabilia, and since it was worn by an American its value its worth even more (according to americans) - Its not longer 'a watch' but an antique timepiece, a precious artifact with some historical value thats linked to one of mans greatest ever achievements of sending men into space.

@NdMk2o1o Is that the Mini or the regular DC2?

If it's the former, I do have my 280X Vapor-X, if you consider that to be good enough (no reason not to lol, it's faster than a GTX 680). It's the dual-fan (7970) design with a backplate, not the three-fan design without a backplate.

i liked that, its a good read, the dust puzzles me, i think its a case of its' been gathering dust rathering than "storing" it.

Great story, the history of space is actually becoming history.

A wee Dram for you

FreedomEclipse · Oct 27, 2015

went to a 1am showing of spectre. Not a bad movie but skyfall was slightly better.

50 speeds? What are those increments!? Almost tempted for overclocking purposes

Maybe they are like gears on a bicycle.... the lower the gear, makes it easier for people to climb hills on it.

Sorry for late reply mate, it's not the mini unfortunately!

I have been looking at new cards and I really can't see anything that would be worthwhile me upgrading to unless I was looking to spend £250+ am I right in thinking that anything below that the 670 is still fairly close/equal to in performance?? I only game at 1080p as well.

FreedomEclipse · Nov 8, 2015

Just nabbed a glenfiddich 12 for £25. Not bad at all

Fourstaff · Nov 8, 2015

Spectre was alright. Skyfall set a bar too high.

Totally agree. It was alright, but not amazing. I actually found Man from UNCLE more entertaining than Spectre.

Tatty_Two · Nov 16, 2015

I am out on the road tomorrow but could anyone recommend me some good 120mm fans for my Corsair H80i, I have had this thing for like 2 years and the noise from the fans seems to have increased despite keeping them on "balanced" setting so looking for something not hugely expensive that is fairly quiet and has some decent pressure, and of course good cooling performance.... thanks! I have serious issues paying more than around 10 quid per fan..... it's just not right!

EK vardar F3 or F4. Gentle Typhoons are also back in production

This. Pretty much any replica of the gentle typhoon, of which there are many

tabascosauz · Nov 17, 2015

I remembered this

http://www.amazon.com/dp/B00YOC80IO/?tag=tec06d-20

I mean, technically it is under $10 per fan right? :laugh:

It's industrial grade and real nice but I don't think mobo headers can power them safely/properly.

They can, I've cut and resoldered dozens of 120x120x35mm server grade fans for use in standard desktop systems. Nidec Beta V's and various San Ace fans are relatively easily converted for "domestic" use. If you can handle the noise at 4500RPM that is.

CAPSLOCKSTUCK · Nov 17, 2015

I like Powercool fans, many pretty colours, good to look at when on or off, good flow, nice and quiet, good longevity

A knock off is a knock off. Ive had vardar F4's that were pretty decent for the price but my pair of 2200rpm GTs have a much much better sound profile at higher rpms.

They did cost me £20 each though

Tatty_Two · Nov 17, 2015

Thanks, gonna look at the suggestions and price them up.

Edit: freedom are these them @ £11.99 each?
