Okay, thank you, I'll keep it then. Thanks for the help! :)

Yeah, I know that PSU is a serious rip-off. The way I accidentally bought it was by looking at the price and somehow thought it was an 850W model instead of 650 just because of the price. If you're completely confident that it'll power my machine then I'll probably keep it. I've had 3 weeks of...

Well my last PC has problems for the first year or so, and I eventually discovered that the power supply was somehow the router of the problem. I replaced it and never had trouble again. I want to get something I know will work, so if there's any doubt I guess I'll send it back. I'd turn it on...

I need your help again, chaps. I ordered the final components of my new build late last night, but I somehow ordered the wrong PSU. I emailed them straight away asking them to swap the order around, but it shipped first thing in the morning and they emailed me after it had already gone. I got...

Yeah it was pretty good. I've been looking around a lot and it seems that the 260 doesn't run nearly as hot as the 280, so I think I'll take your advice and not bother with an after market fan unless I get some problems with overheating. Thanks for the help anyway.

The card I've just bought has already been tweaked as far as I know. I've been out of touch with PC hardware for so long that I have no idea about anything any more. When I was an encyclopaedia AMD were still dominating Intel's CPUs. This is the card...

I don't know, I've always been a little paranoid about keeping things cool. I'd rather be safe than sorry, so to speak.

I just bought an EVGA GeForce GTX 260, and I was looking at some extra cooling for it since I've heard they suffers badly when too hot. A friend recommended I use a Zalman VF1000, but I've had a look on their site and it doesn't look like Zalman have updated their compatibility list since the...

How big is the download? Are you sure you got the whole file? A few of my friends downloads died before they were finished.

Unfortunately they were the only two consoles of the last two decades (ish) that I'm yet to play. Were they any good?

Dear God i hate that thing. It makes me so glad I don't watch TV. Ever.

The game is good but there are problems with it. 1. The helicopters are useless. I think there were so many complaints from people not prepared to learn the fly the Desert Combat choppers that they changed them so they fly themselves. As a result they are seriously unmanouverable (though...

Firstly I'm not sure if this is in the right place so please shift this if it isn't. I bought a 2mb line about 3 weeks ago and it all works fine except that no online games work. I've tried BF1942, BF2, Call of Duty, Counter Strike: Source, some LOTR game and Dawn of War and all of them refuse...
