Thanks for the replies all. I think I'm gonna go for the TomTom. I've had a play with the Tyre software and I think it may take some getting used to. In case anyone else is interested TomTom have a deal at the moment for a free car mount if you purchase before the end of the year.

Hi all, I was looking for some advice. I need a sat nav for when I'm out and about on the bike. Looking at the lower end of the market the options I've got are the Garmin Zumo 390LM or the TomTom Rider 400, both are similarly priced, come with lifetime maps and updates and are well reviewed...

So thanks for all the helpful advice here guys! I have have finally got a bike! I had a look around all of the options suggested here (and a few more) and have taken advice on board. I decided to go fairly cheap and simple to start with and have bought . . . A Ducati Monster M600! I pick it up...

Ideas coming for lots of bikes so thanks for that! I've set up searches in all the main places! I've run a few more insurance quotes too! What should I be looking for if I go and see a bike? Obvious ones are signs of drop/crash damage, paperwork in order, and a HPI check. Anything else? General...

Autotrader d'oh! Should have really thought of that!

Lots of good info guys! Keep it coming. I had started looking at cheaper bikes (bank account breathes a sigh of relief) till you came along Paul. Street triple £450 fully comp so not much more than a hornet! Where do you guys look for bikes? I've tried the usual suspects that I would for cars...

Thanks for this! I will add these to the list to look out for! I've run quotes on the bikes I put up, all pretty reasonable. I don't have to worry about running up massive mileage as I've already got cars for my daily commute. (Although yes I will be running the bike up to work and back...

Evening all, I was wondering if I could pick your collective experienced brains! I passed my DAS Autumn last year however work commitments prevented me from getting my own bike (it would have been sat in a garage for 6 months!) but now all that is out of the way and I'm starting to look...

Anyone used Hive? Any opinion on it? It seems to be the cheapest replacement for a programmer/thermostat combo that allows remote control. Nest doesn't cover hot water and Tado looks fairly expensive to achieve similar functionality.

Just subscribing to this thread. I've been waiting for a decent low profile GPU for a while. Would be great in my HTPC for some sofa gaming!

I'm sure you've considered this but I have to ask! I hope you have considered the amperage you are going to be pulling from the wall from these machines! Definitely worth making sure your home mains can take the load! Good luck with this! I think its a great project! Why not build a rack...

Ha, so your first link they are based around 5 mins from my house, the second link is about 5 mins from my parents house. I'll have a nose around. I'll come back when I'm all sorted. Cheers for the help so far!

right I think I've found a suitable candidate. An APC Smart-UPS 1000VA so SUA series 640w, new batteries. Looks to tick all the boxes. The only thing is it doesn't come with rack mount ears/rails. Is there anywhere good to source these?

Thanks for all your great responses so far, very useful for a subject I know relativly little about! I have seen the refurbished APC units on auction sites and have been pretty tempted. I doubt I'm anywhere near 600w most of the time, the main machine I care about is a NAS/SAN with a 40w Xeon...

Rolling Stones - Yup 4 x R9 290X - Yup i7 3970X or 4930k - Yup You have my interest!

So I've had a few instances recently with power loss and my servers aren't really happy about it. No data loss or permanent damage but I would like to protect against it in future and allow for a graceful shut down. So I'm looking for recommendations for a UPS. It needs to fit in my rack so rack...

Don't give up on it that easy it's a fantastic but of kit and they have made aquasuite a whole lot easier to use. When you start using it to set custom fan profiles based on water temps (or differential temps or component temps) you'll really start to appreciate it. My fans are off most of the...

If size isn't an issue (stop sniggering at the back), why not just get a Norco clone (I can think of 2 UK retailers who do them). The drive sleds will take 2.5" drives and you could change out the fans for much quieter ones as you will have improved airflow?

So I'm looking for a little advice. I've just finished redecorating my office and I want to sort out the sound for my desktop. I have an Asus D2X soundcard and now I want to add 5.1 surround sound in (speakers not headphones). What is the best way to go about this? I'm looking for a 5.1 AV...

This! You guys need to become UK dealer for them!
