  1. Personally i had a horrible time with my R.A.T 7 had to have it replaced twice due to laser failure and once i moved away from it i released how uncomfortable it was. Currently using a Logitech G700, very comfortable along with great software from Logitech.
  2. hmm the only fan i can think of for 140mm would be noise blockers black silent pro series http://www.blacknoise.com/en/products/it/11/Noiseblocker-NB_BlackSilent_Pro_140mm
  3. the moment when you try to remove a heat sink and it pulls the processor out the socket with it : / luckily all the pins were fine.. that AMD Athlon dual core is still running in another machine
  4. I've noticed that the forum sometimes will have an hour where it can take up to a minute to load pages for me.
  5. the normal shinobi does have USB 3, my friend has that case and you can even buy a front i/o upgrade which has USB 3 for shinobi cases.
  6. id stick with corsair, had two ocz PSU's die on me
  7. oooh ratchet and clank.. been a long time since i played the originals on ps2.. think its time I dust my ps2 and play those games again. Looking forward to seeing the ratchet and clank movie!
  8. aaah should have looked probably, didn't see any posts about it my bad
  9. So i plan on getting a new graphics card soon and when i checked overclockers today i was shocked to see that nearly all the 780's had dropped by about £100. Does anyone know the reason for the sudden price drop and it might be the chance for any UK guys to grab a 780 cheap. EDIT: forgot to add a link http://www.overclockers.co.uk/productlist.php?groupid=701&catid=1914&subid=1341
  10. i can already afford a 780, but two 680's or two 7970's would out perform them and as i said i wont be able to upgrade my pc again until i finish university.
  11. So i have about a £650 budget to upgrade my current 6970. After looking around it seems like my best bet is either two 680's or two 7970's. So im asking which would be the better choice, in benchmarks they seem to be pretty even in performance and price. the cards im looking at is are the MSI gtx 680 power edition or the MSI HD 7970 lighting boosted edition (MSI fanboy alert). Im not bothered by amd's never settle deal since me and my friends already own the games we want that they have on offer. Also buying something like a 780 or a 290x then buying a second card in a year or two isnt an option for me since im starting university next year and im not going to be able to spend any money on upgrading my pc for a couple of year after this. Any suggestions are welcome
  12. Yeah, but in dollars that just under $700
  13. id like to be able to have a live state boot OS on the drive aswell as possible OS installers on the drive, which would cause trouble if it was all on the same partition aswell as looking messy.
  14. I recently got an Integral USB 3.0 64GB memory stick. I decided to partition the drive sicne i use it for quite a few diffrent things, Once i partitioned it i leared that windows will only read the first partition of the drive and windows will do this for any removable devices. Is it possible to make it so the USB device will be read as a local drive instead of a removable drive so i can access multiple partitions of the USB? Any help will be grateful
