    Could do with a hand on this one guys...

    Blue switch keyboard, backlit, UK layout. Ideally less than around €100 (so the Corsairs are out). Find me one in stock anywhere and I'll be amazed.

    For the life of me, I can't find one.

    You'd have to raise your budget methinks. Cheapest I can find is the Qpad MK-80.

    Which is annoying, because I'm currently using an MK-80 with Browns. I'm looking to pick up a temporary keyboard until Corsair's RGB, but I'd rather it not be quite the same one I have now.

    Not sure if this is backlit but I have the brown version of the keyboard and it is backlit, I picked it up for only 60 pound (or 50? I forget) a year ago.

    Yup, that. For some reason almost all of CM's keyboards are out of stock everywhere. (Which is really annoying, because they're usually the cheapest. The only things left are Corsairs and QPads).

    For the record it said the same when I bought my own Quickfire TK brown, but it was delivered within 3 weeks. From what I've read it seems to be a generous timeframe, but of course if you want to be sure of having it before that I couldn't guarantee that.

    I have a white LED XT on order with Amazon at the moment. 1-3 week timeframe. Hopefully ships soon, was just hoping I'd missed something.

    God bless. Really looking forward to it. I might not get up to 880 this time, but 870 sounds right up to my alley.

    More like 18:10, by the time you get access. The first day gets hammered by servers. Subsequent days are usually never anywhere near as bad and usually have no problem seeing the deals immediately.

    Hope they put Left 4 Dead 3 on discount.

    Competition is fierce these days in the PC market so I'd be surprised if I buy much given that there's been many good deals in the past year.

    Looking to pick up a new GPU. Sold my R9 290 a while back and I'm looking for something in or around £200. The problem I have is should I buy something like a 750ti to tide me over until the 880/870 or should I go for a 760/770/280x now?

    880/870 most likely going to be in a region of 600eu anyway. I would wait and see whats going to happen as when 880/870 lands, the 780 and 780ti will drop in price a lot.
    You could just buy something on adverts to do you for now and save up some quid for October.

    Hi gus, I need a little help, lately my PC has some times refused to start the first time i start her up. it could take a few goes at pushing the on/off button even on the MB itself. Yesterday we had a power cut and to took me an age to get it back running, this morning the same thing.

    While i had the side cover off the case checking thing everything looks to be ok and contented, power was going to the the led for the power and reset button on the MB. After awhile of checking the 3pin plugs and not getting it to work, i got frustrated and started to flick the on/off switch on the PSU, then suddenly it kicked into life. Now the system is on, every thing is running ok but the MB is showing a 80 code.

    Any idea what could be causing this or is there something failing in the system.

    System

    ASUS P9X79 Deluxe
    i7-3930K @ 3.2GHz
    16GB Corsair RAM
    H100
    GTX 660Ti
    Corsair AX650 PSU
    120GB Samsung 830 SSD boot drive
    240GB Samsung 830 SSD drive for work
    2TB WD Caviar Green storage drive
    120GB SAMsung 830 SSD to cash the 2TB HDD
    Running Windows 7 HP

    I built the system in Sept 2012

    I get that same thing sometimes also running socket 2011. Only way to fix it is flick the psu on and off a few times. Doesn't effect anything else, just sometimes a delay between pressing the on button and the boot, or else it'll just not turn on until it's been plugged out and switches flicked and randomly messing about with it.

    3930k, h100, samsung 830 in common with you. Different everything else. If you find out a fix let me know because it's fairly annoying!

    Rebel Rebel,

    I had a similar issue before and as Brian suggested a new PSU sorted it.

    why did you sell the r9 290? :confused:It's somewhere between gtx 770 and 780 in terms of performance. Was it a reference card with too much noise/heat produced?

    It was my first build so it is my only PSU, am i right in thinking it is not worth risking running the system on what could be a faulty PSU.

    Surprise to hear it is a common problem.

    As its a decent brand PSU, it has over & under voltage/over current protection your motherboard etc. should be OK, though if its acting up best to get rid of it-its not worth the risk. You could check the 12V output from the PSU and also mains voltage in case. Brownouts can easily fry electronics, especially in rural areas due to supply issues. This from the lazy bollox with a UPS in the shed for the last 6 months I've not bothered to hook up.:o

    Ye it was reference. Noise and heat just got the better of me. Was also looking for an entry level gaming pc at the time for my brother and swapped the 290 for one.
