  1. How did you find this 246cm one? Through Ikeas own browsing only 3 show up: https://www.ikea.com/gb/en/cat/solid-wood-worktops-46456/ None are as long as the one you have linked.
  2. The app you wrote about IS NOT AVAILABLE ANYMORE on the play store. What does that say about the app?! I live in the UK btw. So send a how to link then.
  3. Tried WiFi FTP on play store. Horrible. Shows up in the browser and looks like it's from the 80's. Ancient outdated ugly and cannot modify my files. I want it to show up in My Computer as it does right now via USB cable. I said this before. Do exactly what it does when I connect it via the USB cable only wirelessly.
  4. Will this FTP thing make my phone show up in My Computer as it does with a USB cable? What is this? Does any of this require rooting? I am not going to root my brand new S10. Is this secure or if I forget to turn it off on my phone and I'm out and about could someone get access to my files on my phone using a wireless device? Will this FTP thing use additional battery on my phone? Is it on constantly?
  5. Photos of it please. Wood specification including type of wood. Full dimensions of the desk.
  6. I have a Samsung Galaxy S10. Is it possible to access the phone from the PC wirelessly via my home router and or via Bluetooth or directly via my Wi-Fi card? And also vice versa, so access the PC from the phone? Full access. I want my phone to show up in My Computer exactly as it does when I connect it via the USB cable; only wirelessly. I hate having to have to get my USB cable out of my charger everytime I want to transfer. It also wears the connector on the cable end out.
  7. £200? LOL That is how much this Ikea desk cost with a drawer unit. It would cost about £900-£1500 for a carpenter to do it. Don't forget he will have to source a single piece of wood (not chipboard) that is big enough and you are paying him for his time too.
  8. I know about that. That is 1.5cm's shorter in depth than what I have but it is longer. MUCH longer. If you look at the link you gave me and click product spec, it says it has a 3mm veneer? I thought that is solid wood? I need much deeper and longer. But most important is depth. Length isn't as hard to find as is depth.
  9. That sounds sounds like an insane reason to have 1 screen vertical. A vertical screen is unusable for anything other than reading things. I can do that to my screen and I have done to see what it's like. There's a reason why screens are MUCH wider than they are long. All you have to do is adjust one of the screens so the top of the screen or the bottom matches the bottom or top of your larger screen. What's the big deal with doing that? Jesus man vertical screen. You must be outta your mind. .... I asked if using a for example 144hz display would somehow be very bad if the GPU could not push out 144fps in a game (as an example)/ What would happen? Would there be tearing or anything? Those two displays seem awfully cheap having had a look at the prices and are made by cheap manufacturers. Doubt they are very good displays. A decent display seems to be around £450+.
  10. I live in the UK. So please, no Americans telling me to go to an American store or site to get x product. Is it me or are desks WAY behind how far tech has advanced? Dual displays, PC on desk, keyboard+mouse + need space for documents (actual paper documents). Desks are TINY. My desk is an Ikea one and was the biggest I could find back in 2011, but it's not big enough. Anyone know of a desk that is DEEP and long? This desk is neither deep nor long enough. I have 3 keyboards. On the desk is the smallest keyboard. When I have my G11 keyboard on the desk there is no room for anything else. Thanks
  11. The stand I am using right now is a 3rd party stand as the original Samsung one was a pile of poop and broke on its own with thew screen coming crashing down on my desk. Why would I want to use my screen vertically? I'm not working with documents. I am working with video, photos and images. Good to hear. Surely I would want to hit a MIN of 144 FPS to benefit from the 144hz refresh rate? I wonder then if it is worth buying a higher refresh panel in case I am able to play some games at higher refresh rates at 1440p? This is a question you missed btw. I guess higher refresh panels command higher price tags? I noticed on overclockers.co.uk that the number of available panels that are IPS (which I think is the best panel type in quality), 27inches @ 60fps @ 1440p are non existent. Here: https://www.overclockers.co.uk/monitors/by-size/27-68.58cm?ckFilters=2357-2371&ckTab=0&sSort=2 I used the 'Pro Filers'.
  12. Can you please read through the entire post from the start as it is not only the questions that need answering - they need answering in context of what I have written. Thank you.
  13. None of those games are AAA 2019 games. Try running SOTR on your setup @ 1440p HIGH. I reckon your GPU would struggle in that game even at medium @ 1440. That screen is no longer available for purchase. My budget for new screens is around £800 for 2 of for one. Can increase budget if needed. You sure one screen is going to be enough?! Right now I just added another screen from my room as I am transferring files between internal and SD Card on my Galaxy S7 phone and an external hard drive. The display is a VERY old 15 inch affair by dell. Has no HDMI only DVI and VGA. It's a screen from the PC in the other room so I am only using it temporarily. Point being this 24inch is not big enough for the number of things I need open at one time. Not sure a 27 inch would fare much better though I haven't seen 1440 in action apart from a youtube video and it doesn't look like there is that much more space: (Link will take you to the exact time he shows the difference): My current stand is I guess a VESA as I can rotate the screen, tilt and move up and down. But I do want to clear up the desk space so ideally I want to wall mount but have very adjustable arms. Lol. Yes everything else please. Really appreciate your replies.
  14. I currently have a Samsung P2450h. Since I bought it it has had light bleeding top and bottom. Building a new PC and renovating my room. I need either two screens or one as I am working with many video, audio and images for a YouTube channel. Much file organization needs to happen which will require lots of screen space. I also will be gaming for pleasure. So for this reason I don't think it's a good idea to get a say 30+ inch 1440p. Will be playing triple AAA titles and older games like Frostpunk. Onto the questions. > Resolution 27inch 1440p vs 1080p? I was told by scan.co.uk over the phone that getting a 2070 super or even a 2080 super will be pushed to its limit by triple AAA titles today on a 1440@120hz or 144hz display. So I thought... think about how the cards will fare in just a years time... so perhaps it's better to stick to 1080? I read that text at 1440 becomes very small. What is the limit at which 1080 and 1440 become inferior in terms of screen size? For example I guess a 34inch 1080 would not look good compared to a 24inch 1080? Is 1440 much nicer in gaming than 1080? I know 1440 will give me more screen estate, BUT is the text on screen too small? > Refresh rate I do like playing games like Fortnite but mostly love playing single player games from action such as COD to story driven games like Life Is Strange (can't wait for Detroit becomes human to come out on PC) to games like frostpunk. Can't wait for Borderlands 3! Apparently higher refresh rates feel smoother in all games. But I think higher refresh rates are more taxing on a GPU? So a 1440@60hz would be easier to run than a 1440@144hz or 120hz? Do I need a higher refresh rate? Does the FPS from a game HAVE to match or exceed the refresh rate in order for the refresh rate to 'work' or for the user to benefit from the refresh rate? What happens if the FPS is below the refresh rate? > Screen size I am thinking perhaps it is worth buying a nice 55inch TV and putting it in the living room, then carrying my PC over there when I want to play on the big screen? Ideally I would like to run a HDMI cable from my room to the TV in the living room so I don't have to move it and perhaps an optical audio cable, but that would be many meters long and we have asbestos ceilings. Running under floors is outta the question as we have wooden flooring which has sound foam material under it. For control I would be using XBOX controllers via Bluetooth. Anyway, I thought perhaps it is best to get a 1080 display and run it in conjunction with this p2450h or just get two new same screens, and get a 55inch TV for the living room. > Number of screens I thought of getting two screens, BUT that means neither of the 2 screens will be directly in front of me, which is what I am used to and I think that would be especially bad when gaming as I would be looking at one screen at an angle with my head rather then directly in front of me. Instead of having two displays side by side, I could have one ontop of the other I suppose BUT I have Logitech Z5500's which has a center speaker which needs to go either above or below the displays. With 2 screens perhaps the speaker would be too high up? If I wall mounted the dual screens, that would free up the desk space below it, so perhaps I could then keep the speaker below the screens...... I wonder if a single 27inch+ 1440 would be big enough for my needs. I cannot test one of these displays as there are no stores here in the UK that just have quality screens on display AND I would need to test the screen in my room with my workload. Desk space is a bit of an issue but can be resolved through renovation. My desk is this: https://www.ikea.com/gb/en/p/malm-desk-with-pull-out-panel-oak-veneer-00214181/ I have my PC to my right and speakers either side and one above. I am renovating my room so can possibly place the PC elsewhere; but this may prove challenging if I want to buy a case with a window that I can look into. If I put the PC on the floor the window won't be visible. If I were to add another desk to the right it won't be accessible as there is a bed there (currently I have removed the bed and just put the mattress on the floor to prepare for renovation, BUT you can see where the feet of the bed come up to near the subwoofer so you get an idea of what I can and can't do. You can see them as square imprints in the carpet in one of the photos) and I don't want to put the bed on the right side wall because it would narrow the space too much (attached are photos of how my room used to be before my first renovation and you can see the bed used to be on the right wall). So if I then put the PC on a desk to the right of this current desk I wouldn't be able to reach the on/off and USB ports if I wanted a window case. Not too keen on putting the PC on the floor as that sounds like it would gather lots of dust. Photos attached
  15. No one replied to my previous thread and my previous thread was specifically asking about only NZXT cases. I figured it makes more sense to ask about all cases. My CM Stormtrooper has case resonation due to HDD's. It has been VERY annoying over the many years I have had it. It sits right next to me, on my right hand side on the desk, about 50cms-60cms away from my right ear. 35cm's away from my mouse. My case drives sit in sliding trays. The trays slide into bays into a HDD cage. The trays are plastic and have little rubber grommet type things where there are push pins that push into the screw holes of the HDD. The rubber grommets seem to be thin and useless. Below is a video showing it with the correct time already jumped to. Just click the video below and it will take you to the relevant part automatically.
  16. Anyone running a 7200rpm drive in a modern case <2 years old? If so I want to know if you get any case resonance sounds or any other annoying hard drive related sounds. Please state your case brand and model and type of HDD related sound issues in detail. I also want to know even if you DON'T have any issues with sounds. Again please state your case brand and model. Please state location of case from your seating location with approximate location from the ear closest to the case. Grab a measuring tape if you aren't sure. Thanks. Let's make this a pinnable thread as to what cases have hard drive related sound issues and which don't.
  17. Aaron Souppouris Neither will buying a new Mac Pro. Part of the reason Apple is replacing the Mac Pro is that it's not very expandable. Upping the storage to handle all your media is going to add more than $500 to the price. It seems that your main bottleneck right now is the hard drive. The gulf between a hybrid and an SSD is pretty enormous. While you might see its solid-state portion matching an SSD in repeated tasks like loading the OS or a frequently used app, everyday computing is more random than that. The 500GB SSD inside Apple's high-end MacBook Pro will dramatically improve your day-to-day life, from loading apps quicker to supporting the RAM with fast paging speeds. Whatever computer you upgrade to, I'd invest in a 2TB RAID system, connect it to the highest-speed port your computer has and forget about finding a computer to match your data-hoarding habit. Sure, file access will still be slow, but it won't bog down the system while they're loading. Bottom line is the modern components of a MacBook Pro will keep pace, or exceed, the base Mac Pro in almost every task, for less money. The main sticking point with the current crop is battery life, but if you're using it as a desktop, that point is moot.
  18. But it seems that he is saying that putting large drives into a PC will 'bog it down'. Is that not what he was saying?
  19. https://www.engadget.com/2017/04/07/cheaper-mac-pro/?guccounter=1&guce_referrer=aHR0cHM6Ly93d3cuZ29vZ2xlLmNvbS8&guce_referrer_sig=AQAAAExhmCQg6Nu_lgjqX771PNcftUMliQP2hPUw1bPPCKe5nrEgShX3XdVtwfmnd6bgboLwdNnhxC58IYQAvlC31AqdW8Enu2C7X3RnVdfKkoror0hCu71CEAajyB5pd0DPP4nIuoX8RlU0JZo4_RWqaXQHkHKRB2UV5ecPSPtdcuF1 Wouldn't have thought it matters as he is saying that NOT using RAID and having the drives in the PC would 'bog' it down. At least that's what I took from it.
  20. What does this guy mean when he says file access will be slow, and that it won't bog down the system? Whatever computer you upgrade to, I'd invest in a 2TB RAID system, connect it to the highest-speed port your computer has and forget about finding a computer to match your data-hoarding habit. Sure, file access will still be slow, but it won't bog down the system while they're loading.
  21. Anyone got a new NZXT case with a 7200rpm HDD in it? I'm interested to know if you experience hard drive associated resonance from the case, as I have always had with my CM Stormtrooper, and as I am about to build a new PC, I want to make sure the case I buy won't have this issue again.
  22. Ermmmm how is it getting heated? I never said what you said is wrong or anything. I asked you about that extension socket. What are you talking about getting heated. No one is angry..... I very much appreciate your replies.
  23. I never wrote the Pro version. The Pro is not available as far as I can see on WD's site, so no 20% discount. The 10TB WD RED Pro retails for £383 https://www.scan.co.uk/products/10tb-wd-red-pro-wd101kfbx-35-nas-hdd-sata-iii-6gb-s-7200rpm-256mb-cache-shock-sensor-ncq-oem He wrote BELS. Not Decibels.
