    So, I'm going off to uni in a couple of weeks and due to the fact I have been using a Blackberry Curve for just over a year as my daily driver, I need a new phone. Budget is pretty flexible, but how much it costs will affect how much i can drink for the next month or so... I'm interested in the Nexus line as they are the first to get software updates and are normally reasonably priced, but should i pull the trigger now and buy the 5x, drink less and buy the 6p, or wait and hope that the price for the Nexus Sailfish (The replacement for the 5x) is low enough when it comes out? (It looks like it won't be). I am open to suggestions of different phones up to around 6p size as this is about the largest I feel I can go.

    All I need now is 100" of wall to put this on...

    The 9590 is very hot, as it has TDP of 220W, so a new cooler would probably be needed as well. Personally I would wait and upgrade later.

    You know, it is a good way to deal with most things...

    I personally have a WD my book live which functions as a backup device as well as a personal cloud, so you can access your files from anywhere in the world, free of charge. I think this has been discontinued, but there is now a My Cloud, which I think does the same thing. You simply plug it into power and an ethernet port and then set it up from a PC. There is an app for both ios and android that can be used to access the files.

    Well if it works, that will be great. All we have to do is wait...

    If your router/access point has a USB port on the back, you can plug the external drive in to there for it to function exactly like a NAS does, and means that your PC won't have to be on for you to access the files. EDIT: not sure about how it would work with mobile though

    This website is very useful for comparing the DPI of different sizes and resolutions of displays

    Hot, inefficient, old. That's basically it..
  10. Firestorm
    This is a good comparison

    Both, as the speaker pushes air out the grille when going outwards and pushes air out of the hole (if it is what I think it is) when it goes in.

    IMO 27" is too big for 1080p at a normal viewing distance ~75cm but consequently you wont be able to see the individual pixels on a 24" 4k but I think it would be the smallest I would go. I use a 24" 1920 x 1200 and it is perfect for me, but 27" at 1440p works just as well. 4k doesn't really have an upper bound for size though. Just my opinion though

    Top end of your budget but a really good deal: here Screen is well over 1080p EDIT: £20 cheaper in white

    Both the logitech G602 and the G700s are wireless, they are both pretty good options [edit] The Logitech tend to have a much longer battery life that the others but lose some customisability as well as are a lower price

    Are the display cables all plugged into the right place, ie. into the video card and not the motherboard?
  16. Firestorm
    Its probably quite useful on a 4k display

    I noticed they all wanted one, but is it really worth the extra over the performance mx
  18. Firestorm
    So I'm buying a new mouse and keyboard mainly for productivity, and would like them both to be wireless and preferably a back-lit keyboard So far the best option I could find was the logitech k800 and a performance mx bundle for £100 (~$150USD) or the same k800 with an mx master for £137 (~$210USD). Is the mx master worth the £37 extra or is there a better combination for the money?

    The picture and product name are the same, but the description is for an msi board with the intel socket
  20. Firestorm
    That means the product is by Asus, but the seller is M H TECHNOLOGIES.

    XPS 13/15?
  22. Firestorm
    If your turning it down to 1440p in games then don't buy a 4k. Your are just not going to get the benefits over running at native 1440p

    I rate M50x as a 8.5/10 on comfort scale
  24. Firestorm
    I know i might get some stick but the ATH-M50x are on deal right now: here I have a pair and think they are pretty good for the money and even better for this price

    Yes, Samsung hard drives are reliable but there is a newer version here for the same price It may be a good idea to look at a hybrid drive like one of these instead though. They are a bit more expensive but the performance is much better.
