    Budget Developer Machine Help

    Hi thanks ExRayTed that is great. Does OCUK do a case and PSU that will fit that? Also if I decided to update the CPU to the i5 8400 (perhaps at a later date), would it plug in to that same motherboard?

    Budget Developer Machine Help

    Thanks for the replies. Only about 2 VMs at once most of the time. But they will have a lot of heavy tools on them like Wireshark and IDA running for long periods of time. Could someone spec me a build from OCUK to give me a more realistic idea of what my budget ought to be?

    Budget Developer Machine Help

    *** The 2014 Gym Rats Thread ***

    Yeah I posted the link before I read it really, I think the Guardian and BBC articles had better more modern British Olympians or something. I'm not vegan myself so don't care too much. I'm curious about it though. I can't see how it would be more work as the same formula should apply of...

    *** The 2014 Gym Rats Thread ***

    I did actually read a couple of articles about this recently on the BBC and The Guardian I think. Not that ALL top athletes are vegans but a few are. I just googled and got distracted by this site instead http://www.greatveganathletes.com/ probably says the same thing

    *** The 2014 Gym Rats Thread ***

    Yeah lessons learned, I clip on the OHP because I have a few plates on. But I'm pretty light on bench at the moment so had not seen the need for clips so far I guess. It's not something that has really been mentioned to do until you screw up. I only posted as I thought it might entertain...

    *** The 2014 Gym Rats Thread ***

    I dropped my bench press on my face today. Someone ran over to rescue me so was quite embarrassing and now got a big scrape on my cheek. Doing sl5x5, feel like a de-load but sticking strictly to the routine I need to fail again. In fairness, it was the last rep of 5x5 so better than Monday.

    Expensive cinema ticket prices

    I used to quite enjoy going to the cinema too but it is too expensive for me now. I do download as well so maybe I've caused that a bit. But the way of the world now seems to be you have to be part of a club to get reasonable prices i.e. discounts (not just for cinema tickets). So O2, Orange...

    Help with 3 course meal

    Hi, I am trying to do something good for the girlfriend. I was planning on a pumpkin soup with bread for starters to make use of my slow cooker and a bit topical with Halloween. Undecided on a main at the moment, probably chicken or maybe ribs or even small steak at a push? Something good...

    Cheaper train tickets

    The man in Seat 61 has all the advice you need. It seems a good price to me but you could save a couple quid booking fees if you use the Virgin website.
