Suspension in my desk chair is dead(just drops to midget height) so I'm going to need to get a new chair. €100, no armrests(removable is fine). Any recommendations?

Try auction exchange sandyford:

Was up there lately and they had a room full of office chairs, liquidated stock and 2nd hand stuff-some decent ones too.

A good quality 2nd hand chair in good condition would probably be a lot better than some of the cheaper ones from the likes if Ikea and the like.

If you change your mind about armrests, this is the most comfortable chair in Ikea in my opinion. Then again chairs are just so personal that its best to go and sit on them yourself! They have a good selection of arm less ones too.

Had a few beers and about to pull the trigger on this despite not really having the cash. Anyone have have any good reasons why I should not say 'I do' to this.

The HIS is the same price but leaning towards the MSI purely on the extra years warranty

Got to level 21 and was bored. I found the smaller ones more difficult, the larger ones were just boring. Great fun for a while though, cheers.

@Marco Polo, HWVS have it for about the same price? Don't know what OCers comes out to, but €205 delivered fomr the Germans at any rate.

Cheers man, Delivery is 9,99 sterling from overclockers with DPD so works out at about 197 yoyos altogether (EDIT actually probably around the same as HWVS when Irish VAT is factored in), but the 2 day delivery appeals in this case given the imminent release of Far Cry 3.

iirc the HIS is one of the best overclockers in the 7850 group. if that interests you, double check.

Very much interests me , the closer I can get to a HD 7870 without actually buying one the better. Going to sleep on it, after all may not even still have it during the third year of warranty that the MSI offers so not sure it it really matter all that much.

Hi again! :P I was playing Skyrim again a few days ago and encountered this, for some reason rather than just happening once, I was actually able to capture it on video

Does it look like more of a software/driver bug than an actual hardware problem? I could be playing the game for hours and not experience anything out of the normal (except for terrible pop in when I am exploring in the wildreness) but just play for a few minutes and get that? Seriously frustrating :mad:

I am running on the latest nvidia drivers btw (beta) but the same old crap happened with the latest (stable) release

Andy!!

I get terrible pop too, I have a few mods going though, not sure if they are the culprit.

Just sold my 6990. what to spend my money on?

Monotype

Bethesda's games are usually as buggy as feck so that is the likeliest suspect.

(I can't even remember, did you ever actually order all the stuff you were looking at?)

I think my WC build destroyed his WC plans lol

Ah, well that's... unfortunate. Hopefully mine will spur him back!

i havent gotten the last few things yet...

Ive been a little put off by headshots rig no doubt. it was a complete nightmare.

Im also migrating to a Prodigy. The original idea was to throw my server into the prodigy, but im starting to like it so much after reviews and my storm striker is so impractical to haul around im going to play around with it for a while til i get bored.

If i like the prodigy, ill be doing the water in it, so im going to hold off on the specialtech order til i see where I end up.


problem is finding a decent z77 itx motherboard. each one has a problem. the asrock z77e-itx is by far the nicest, and well priced at €135, but the msata port underneath the board interferes with coolers backplates. I cant even find much info about how bad either. i know the raystorm block will fit with modding, but not sure what is required. I doubt my corsair A70 cooler will fit.

then there's the ASUS P8Z77-I Deluxe. best OCer of the itx's, but it doesnt have any mSATA (which i'd like cause im limited to 4 SATA ports), so an mSATA SSD in the server would be a great benefit. the audio appears to be rubbish too. and its €175.

MSI Z77IA-E53, reviews are decent, fairly good OCer, €155, but again, backplate problems. except no one mentions what fits and what doesnt!! :mad: kitguru:

One negative aspect of the MSI Z77IA-E53 is the close proximity of various circuitry close to the CPU socket on the rear of the PCB. We tried a number of coolers which utilise backplates and some of them wouldn’t mount properly, either touching sensitive components or not installing level to the socket.
If you buy this motherboard be careful of which cooler you purchase.

they never mention what they tried though outside of saying the Arctic Cooling Freezer 7 Pro fits!

Gigabyte GA-Z77N-Wifi. no reviews. gigabyte. lots of DOA's. thats it.


sorry for the rant, just needed to get this on paper.

No m8, stupidly enough I haven't tried it yet . I am between dark souls and eve ATM

Tea_bag, gratz on sale. How much did it go for? And yeah, don't go near water cooling!!! It's devils minion!

I'd move my rig to a prodigy in a second* - It supports almost as much radiator as the 600T, but is much smaller, and very nice looking, but:

* There's no room for a dedicated sound card, so it's not an option.
