    Well I've just gotten a confirmation email from Asus saying they'll collect it and provide me with a replacement, but didn't give a date.

    Good start so far.

    few people have had an address issue with them. http://www.boards.ie/vbulletin/showthread.php?t=2057460631

    I just tried checking out without an account and was able to get to through to the payment page with the following:

    Delivery address
    Mr.
    duffman85 duffman85
    duffman st 123

    Co. Duff dufftown
    Ireland
    Tel.:

    Invoice address
    Same as delivery address.

    Edit: Ordered from them myself Wednesday the 15th and received my stuff on Tuesday 21st. Made sure everything was in stock when I ordered though.

    Seemingly I can only order if I sign out of my HWV account. It is very odd.

    I was half wondering if they have run into VAT threshold issues, its the reason that ebuyer stopped shipping here.

    http://www.vatlive.com/eu-vat-rules/distance-selling-eu-vat-thresholds/

    Hard to say though at the best of times the website is a bit flakey so it could easily just be gremlins in the machine either.

    So Upgraded to efiber yesterday, since having problems with connecting to the network using ethernet cables and homeplugs. It seems only 1 of my 3 plugs will connect at anyone time(limited testing so far).

    My W7 pc is telling me the Network is "Unidentified Network"

    Anyone else experience this, been fecking around all morning looking for a fix for it

    Can you ping other computers on the network? Or the router?

    All up and running now again, plugged the Ethernet cable into a different port on the efiber modem and reset all the plugs again, did the trick this time. hope it will stay working now with out having to reset everytime.

    The prices change and refresh periodically. Plus a you might not necessarily get discount links on every item.

    I'd say wait and try later and it should be OK. Most components will get a small discount :)

    I'd straight up avoid hwvs for the time being. Use skinflint.co.UK and Amazon or geizhals with the German amazon

    Woot.

    Active adapter worked for the WQHD DVI-D monitor.

    50 quid was bloody steep, but it's an awful lot less than a new monitor.

    I'm not sure but I suppose it and higher resolutions are supported. It is the newest format so I'm sure they have it well tested.

    What method are people using to Overclock their CPU's? Standard BIOS or a program?

    I've got my i5-4690K running at 4ghz but pretty sure I can get it up to a stable 4.3 at least.

    Bios all the time for me.In general overclocking buttons on mobo's and so some software will use more volts than what is actually needed.

    What mobo and cooling have you?
