    Lovely thank you. With the 3600 it frees up some cash for a better monitor. Still no idea what to get there though!

    Request for specs for 2 PC's please

    I’ll check those out. My mum is going to want something fairly future proof. I find even chrome seems to hog resources now! Would the 8400 be ok still? She does have a crappy gpu already. I could reuse that if it meant a better processor? One of the lower spec Ryzen 5’s maybe?

    Working with Acrylic

    Hey, I'm making a couple of bits from Acrylic but need something to join it together. I'd rather not use glue so the next best thing for me would be to use Modesty blocks. Does anyone know where I can get Chrome or Acrylic ones? Can't find them anywhere. Thanks,
