Wouldn't be an OcUK Christmas thread without him really.

Early christmas presents to my self. (Apologies for the crappy phone pics) Sold my 13" Macbook Pro w/ Retina and got a new 15" Macbook Pro with Retina Display: Sadly now every other display has been ruined for me! The Fault in Our Stars:

Sold one of my duplicate cards and had to try and snipe one of the others I didn't have. Pretty much impossible to get the cheaper cards if you have only the right amount of cash in your steam wallet as by the time you have clicked to agree to the TOS it has sold. Found this handy little script...

I'd have to say Bioshock. Got so engrossed in it I ended up completing it in 2days. Still haven't completed half of Borderlands 2 which tbh I really should

Yeah it's because they haven't hit the deaily/flash/community choice yet. Give it a while and it's bound to be on a better offer. First rule of the steam sale ;)

It normally tells you when you go to purchase the pack but I'm pretty sure the games you already own will go into your inventory to give to friends

I'd go with green man gaming. Really great website. Got many new releases from them for a fraction of the steam price and they haven't failed me once!

Done the same in preparation for number 2. Never got round to completing the first one when I had an Xbox.

Yep that's what I meant. Bound to have the complete pack on sale at some point.

Personally wouldn't say it's worth buying on it's own. Past 2 sales they have had every GTA for a fiver.

Today I got delivery of my new BitFenix Recon fan controller. After having a spring clean of my computer I put back in all my parts and started the tedious process of re-wiring the whole thing with the added clutter of the new fan/temp cables from the new controller. Everything has turned out...

+1 For coda and Muse What's the app with orange U?

I have tried increasing these and also commenting out this option so it goes to default and neither make much of a difference. And via either Windows 7 or ftp on my Windows 8 machine I get the fill 100MB/s Write/Read. Also on another note on Mac OS X I get 54 MB/s for both read and write

Yep using Samba. I have tried transferring using ftp and it works at the speeds expected. Is there a better way to setup a file server other than using samba?

So I finally got all my parts delivered to setup a home file/backup server this week. It's currently running Ubuntu Server and I'm using Samba to share files on my network. The server currently has a 2TB WD Green drive in it connected to a Asus M5A78L-M This is then connected via CAT6a...

Gigabit switch came :D. Only took 2 days on a certain companies super saver delivery. Just had a quick test while I await the delivery on my HDD's on Monday. (1.4Gb Film transfers in around 10 seconds :D)

Aha no we live in an old house and I'm in one of the rooms that isn't part of the extension so upon ordering some furniture we quickly realised that the floor in this room isn't completely straight in places. That and the draws slowly opening themselves gave it away :p

Got a new motherboard to revive an old PC and turn it into a file/backup/TimeMachine/download server. Now to wait for the new RAM, HDD's and Gigabit switch to arrive and my project shall be complete. Then the fun process of transferring files setting up Samba permissions up for my family begin :D

Strange. Just tried it on mine and it seems to work. Only after locking the device will it go back down thou. Pretty sure it's always been this way so it seems less intrusive always changing up and down while looking at the screen. Tbh I'm pretty sure having the sensor enable and calculating the...

Think I have solved it. May have been a conflict with xFire. Had it closed and so far the problem is gone. Will leave it a while before confirming my problem solved. None the less thanks for the help :)
