My mate's got a 5870 and a Q6600 G0 @ stock. You know, one of them mates that refuses to overclock no matter what....

there are so many idiots about, who as soon as you mention overclocking, they look at you with the silly face and say "Oh no, that can kill my pc"
and even when you try and explain it is safe to do, they are still not interested in listening, but these are the type of people who go to pc world, and get ripped off with crap pc's

i dont touch shorts, until i am fairly drunk, and then its either Jameson, Bushmills or Sambuca.
also thanks for the tip, on the upgrade, i know my old Q6600 would bottleneck a good card, but i am thinking of either jusy getting a better monitor and gpu or going for a different setup, like a i7 rig or maybe even go the AMD route, it just depends on my budget.

ps. also is it me or have you changed your avatar? you used to have a clown or something like that before

I prefer a few whiskys first before hitting the shots - Tequila or Jagerbomb/Jagermeister. A better monitor would be a good way to go, Look for a Viewsonic CP2365wb - they have managed to cram an excellent top notch IPS panel into an under £200 budget. yes I changed my avatar.

Wow. You know when you join a conversation halfway through and you feel like you just wanna quietly leave the room, or stay silent in the corner?

thats where you come in and offer your expertise (if you have any) I have poached alot of customers from PCworld before they signed on the dotted line and made custom builds for them and also overclocked rigs for the more openminded bunch tech wannabes who just want something special for bragging rights.

theres a lot of people who walk around PCworld that dont have a single clue what they are looking at.

Trust me - PC world is an excellent place to poach business from. I think Ive only ever had 2 rejections from people just because im not a proper registerd/established business. and the other was because I didnt have a business card to give them (maybe i should just print a load off)

HUSKIE · Jan 30, 2011

hi UK clan. planning to sell my watercooling loop with cpu,gpu.NB/SB blocks,rads, ek combo pump and reservoir,xspc combo pump reservoir bay. due to emergency purposes.

pictures soon.....

I think its about time I save up for a Sandy Bridge i7 rig - all i really need is the mobo, ram, CPU and HSF - roughly about £450-470. though i could try save a few pennies by going with an i5 sandy instead

InnocentCriminal · Jan 31, 2011

Just after I thought I was happy with my rig as it is. I want a fucking Silverstone FT03.

>.<

Obviously I'm going to hang back until Sandy Bridge matures but I'm possibly going to be parting with my core components; albeit, not my RAM, GPU or PSU.

I blame Cold Storm.

Is that relating to me?

I'll definitely be waiting to see what Bulldozer has to offer. Ymmmm..... high performing SFF. Ymmmm.

Anyone got a spare AM3 bracket? I snapped mine today removing my cooler, case is now on its side with the cooler resting on top of my chip

Temps seem ok though....what a bloody numpty!!

scaminatrix · Feb 1, 2011

Gawd damn, that PC I'm doing for my mate's Grandad? Just tested that PSU on another rig, and it's boogered.
Anyone got an old, kacky, working PSU please? This guy really wants his ~~pr0n~~ facebook.

If red's your thing...

I've bought from shinyhardware before too, they seem fine.

Bo$$ · Feb 3, 2011

Finally got my mate to upload that FF7 Jenova Remix - he made it yeeeeears ago.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1ErrvnWvxQs

EDIT: Just got a new camera so you won't have to put up with my terrible pics anymore.

Just had a go on it, I'm impressed. Believe it or not, the PC is actually on in this pic, and all the fans are actually spinning!
I had to resize the image by 50% (in Paint), it was originally 4000x3000

Is the dust a feature of the camera?

Na, just a by-product of laziness... The camera really brings the dust out, it doesn't look as bad as that IRL. Honest :laugh:

thats not the camera it is the flash, turn it off and you wont even see it!

Yea, it's really dark in the PC corner though, even with a high ISO setting it was too dark. The picture above is using the automatic "Smart" setting. The only option you can change is pic. size, so it was the camera doing all the work.

This pic is using the lowest ISO setting (80) using a light reflected off the wall: EDIT: Also, it was on a tripod using the timer and the PC was turned off this time...

Bo$$ · Feb 6, 2011

what camera is this?

scaminatrix · Feb 7, 2011

Bo$$ said:

Only a little Samsung ST60.

Shoots 30fps 720p video and 12MP pics so everything I need.

Was only £60 brand new aswell so I had to get it!
