Mod Note: In all of my benevolence (and the fact I'm tired of cleaning gag posts out of the BA thread) I have created a new (did we ever have one??) Off Topic thread for all your randomness and IT-related humour! The rules are: there are no rules. Although posting on-topic stuff here or stuff that belongs in Hardware Discussion etc. better may be moved randomly with extreme prejudice!! It will also make you look silly

Depends, some people think the temp in bios is the idle temp. The cpu is not at idle in bios so temps will be higher.

He didnt say where he read from but the way he talks of then gaming I'm betting software monitoring.

still though thats about €400-500 off

anything else worth getting in there

challengemaster

It's €700 off

The place literally looked like it had been robbed. There was barely anything at all left. 4 macbook pro's in total, a few other laptops, asus transformers and other tablets well marked down too. Only 3 tv's left. No cameras... no pc components...

Do ye think its worth having a powerful computer if your ones broadband is ****e?

It all depends on other uses for the PC but if its solely for gaming you would probably be better off going with a 500 - 600 build if your Broadband is crap because its a waste of a good gaming experience . I did have ****e broadband and cracked a case window because I kicked my case . It will get you very annoyed very easily !

Hmm, would have to look it up but that seems a tad warm unless the room is quite warm. With a beasty cooler like that i'd want to be below 30 idle.

Didn't really have the best air flow where it was because I just set it up where I made it to make sure it ran okay, moved it to where I'm going to be keeping it this morning and idle temperatures on the CPU and GPU seem to be hovering around 28-29C

Your new PSU is making a pretty audible electrical whine while the PC is off, are you worried?

you know what lads. i decided not to buy anything for my pc as an xmas present. catleap is nice and all, but after looking at my current pc it is more of an EPENIS enlargment that the stuff i need. so i just ordered one of these for myself as xmas present. i lost all my childhood lego and i decided to have a second hoby

indough

very cool, i want to build one of those lego robots but they are crazy expensive

aye, i sow that. i would be more interested in that controller, motors and software then robot itself. some people on youtube are freaking stupidly smart when it comes to do legostuff.

^^^ Thats proper, if my 'ould doll caught me with lego, it might be a bit detrimental on other fronts

Tea_Bag

I used to have easily the biggest collection of Lego I've ever seen (outside of YouTube and internet obviously)

that's all I ever got as presents, and refused anything else.

I traded my McDonald happy meals and movie tickets etc for a small box of Lego. I literally had no other toys.

I see there are websites and apps made that allow you to enter your collection numbers and it'll tell you what other setups you can build by cross referencing the contents.

then one day my grandmother gave them all away to my cousins and family friends cause she thought I was too old for them.:mad:

she may be going senile now but I still don't forgive her. my pride and joy for 15 years.

Serephucus

I had quite a bit as well. Three of these if memory serves:

I also had quite a bit of K'nex, though I never got quite as into Mechano as I now would have liked to. We got to play around with the Lego Mindstorms robots in our first year programming module. Great craic.

Explains why we all like building PC's... they're lego for adults

Gbear

I had a big dustbin full of lego. Played with it for years.

Left it all in France when I moved back to ireland. Was a bit old for it at that stage though.

i did told her: "well, love, you will laugh. i want to get for my self an lego." her reply: "aye, have fun. though i am sure our dogs will have even more fun with it! :pac:"

Maybe you could build yourself a spoiler for the car :pac:

meccano is still a great laugh, made this last year. Bit of a step up from what I made as a young lad.
