depends if the seller was smart and wrote 'fishtank' on the customs declaration form...

Customs dont always open stuff up to check whats inside (IMO its more of a random thing)

To or To Not to upgrade my Scythe AP-15's to AP-29's - Swapped out all my 140mm Yate Loons for faster 140mm Silverstone Air Penetrators the other the day. I also fitted a NZXT Sentry MIX fan controller to keep the noise down when im sleeping (when i do have to leave the machine running overnight)

If not the fans then i'll most probably look at getting a new keyboard as some buttons wont respond unless push them all the way down like when you are typing on TPU or an email.

@ NdMk2o1o: Any joy on your monitor yet?

The AP-15's are much quieter so if you're leaving it on overnight, I wouldn't think it would be worth it

I'm thinking about buying a laptop, most probably this one --> Asus X53E Laptop - Laptops | Ebuyer.com

But If anyone has any recommendations for a £300-£400 laptop or any reasons i shouldn't buy this one I'd appreciate them a lot

got a fan controller so it doesnt really matter if they are 'louder' I never really intend to run them at full bore. but yeah its probably a waste of money seeing as this setup barely goes over 60'c even after 12hrs of prime. Its just that when its warm in my room but not enough to have the aircon on, Liquid temps can go as far as 37'c. CPU temps are still well within safety limits though.

I just want to be prepared for the heatwave thats gonna hit us.

I am fine with that line of laptops, my ancient X50 is an ancestor of that

Friend's X52 is also working more or less perfectly, except his ethernet port is somehow not working.

What other makes of laptops are you open to? Dell does occasional deals which can beat that one.

http://www.saveonlaptops.co.uk/Lenovo_Edge_E525_1158893.html if you are willing to trade cpu power for more graphics and less battery. I wouldn't but you might.

http://www.saveonlaptops.co.uk/HP_Pavilion_G6-1204sa_1119470.html I wouldn't buy HP, but you might.

Since the Laptop's mainly for work I don't think it's a good idea to trade graphics for CPU and battery, As much as I would like a decent amount of graphics, the Sandy Bridge Core I5's come close to my Phenom II quad core in performance, where the A4 and A6 are closer to my Athlon X2

As Far as laptop makes go, I am OK with anything except Fujitsu

In which case there is probably not much else you can do, that laptop (processor wise) is pretty decent bang for buck. HD3000 is not too shabby either, its just a tad weaker than my 4570 and I can game quite a bit. Not the most recent games, but good for the slightly older ones.

The laptop I mentioned previously arrived on Monday, everything is brilliant except it refuses to make the restore disks, what can be done about this?

Since it has the windows 7 serial number/product key on a sticker on the bottom would it be possible to just use an ordinary install disk in the event i needed to reinstall windows?

You'd need an OEM copy of Windows 7 not retail. You should have received a product recovery disc with the computer, what brand of notebook is it?

If all else fails, create a WIM image or use a program like Acronis to create one and restore that if your install borks.

No disks with the computer, it had a built in program that launched on first run that was supposed to make the backup disks, however it crashed on the third disk and now it doesn't work

Laptop is an ASUS

I went on the Acronis website and it appears to cost nearly £30, seeing as the hard drive on this is a western digital could i use this version of acronis -->http://support.wdc.com/product/downloaddetail.asp?swid=119&wdc_lang=en

indeed you could XD

try and order the disks from Asus, it might make it better as you wont have all the bloatware everytime you re-install

WOAH!

NdMk2o1o has been banned, does anyone know if this is permanent or just temporary?

He'll be duly missed.

IMO its probably just a short holiday...people have disagreements online all the time. I dont think he deserves a perma ban

MoonPig · Apr 5, 2012

What did he do? Best have gone out in style.

I didn't even get banned for posting a gay nude scene with erocker in it... lol.

FreedomEclipse · Apr 5, 2012

He argued with bumblebee about about TN panels vs IPS panels and he got a little mad shall we say.

Banned for that.. lal.
