So are you just gonna buy the M10s?

I don't know

thing is, you can get amps for around €100, then budget another €100 for a second hand set of passive speakers. it should be better than its €200 competition.

if you were to do it again Brian, would you get the m10's?

It depends on your application, Tea. I use my BX5a's at my PC desk and they are great for that, because they are designed for near-field listening. But you couldn't really hook them up to a television to listen to across a room ... too much of the detail is lost. I think the M10s are similar. They're monitors rather than bookshelfs.

If you're looking for a cheap speaker amp, take a look at the Lepai TA2020+, or just find some second hand Marantz / Denon ones on Adverts for about €50.

Iv read that Battle.net has been hacked, lucky I dont have an account with them but its gone to this stage that you cant trust any reputable company with your details. Its a disgrace tbh

how does one know if their gpu is gone?

Im using sli and had to change my hdmi cable from card 1 to card 2, to get a picture

pull out and test individually.

Just to throw this out there, Ive been one of the people saying it myself, that BF3 doesnt need much of a CPU to work well.


well, I was wrong.

Ive been using my ITX mobo for the last few days cause my z77 is in for RMA. anyway, ive gone back to stock clocks on the CPU, cause I didnt really feel I need to push the board too hard for no reason (its not a great OCer, and only has a 4pin CPU power connect). also, my GPU backplate touches my CPU cooler, and cooks it essentially. my CPU @ stock is at 70C under load.

anyway, in BF3 online im getting big fps drops in a few maps. metro, OP firestorm are affected the worst. usually a 48 or 64 player server obviously.

im playing on ultra settings but dropped AA to 2x. to get more stable fps ive to drop to HIGH settings all round, and even then, its not great. my GPU isnt the one struggling.

for anyone asking for a decent rig to play BF3 etc on HIGH+ settings, a 2500K OC'd is now becoming a minimum.

Online and Offline modes vary massively in that game.

absolutely. going by benchmarks, i could rub my pentium G620 on ultra on single player just fine. not that ive ever actually played single player, or Co-Op. but ive around 200 hours racked up on PC and another 200 ish on console

Im sorry to disturb you. I'm foreigner, so my english is unfortunately not good enough.
I known someone who did a lots serious crimes in Ireland and he is wanted by the welsh police for more than 5 years. Irish police doesn't wanna do the investigation against him for a reason, I don't know.I think there is a corruption... So he is still doing illegal crimes in Dublin. I want to warn irish people not to make any business with them, but from everywhere they deleted my advert. I havent got clue, why they dont arrest him. He copied banknotes, didnt pay taxes, cheats lots clients day by day....Stole thousands euros day by day..., lives with someone's ID...
Have u got any idea, how I can help to irish people and send him to court? He is so criminal person and lives with his brother's document to hide from police....Best wishes

ummmmm.....

I think you need to call the police, and explain to them everything you know.

Youtube issues with multi-mon recently, but other than that no.






How she currently stands. Both mounts up, but waiting for the adapter for my 22". The piece they stood on is currently out in the garage for a bid of modification.

its good to hear I'm not the only one annoyed with YouTube/flash and multi monitors. we can't even fix it our selves cause Chrome sand boxes flash.

What's it doing on you? Full screen was acting up on me last week but it seems to be fixed now.

Yeah, back working for me now.

Now I've got an issue where videos refuse to buffer beyond 45s ahead of where I am. Slightly annoying.

I've always had issues with YT where when you switch to 1080 it basically doesnt buffer(not a connection thing). F5 normall sorts it though.

Why would 45seconds be a problem?
